If the i5-12400F is less expensive it would be a good choice.

 

Other than the motherboard, it's a decent build. The motherboard is ok, but something like the MSI Pro B660-A DDR4 would be much better.

 

You could save a bit with a less expensive NVMe drive. Pretty much any drive is going to offer decent performance in gaming.

Pretty good selection of components. 

 

The MSI Pro B660-A motherboard is the best B660 mobo, see if that fits within your budget. 

 

The NZXT H510 has a lot of criticism for poor airflow. I would get something like a corsair 4000D airflow. 

 

Good Luck!

How big is the difference between a SATA or NVMe drive.

Very roughly if both are SSD, NVMe drive is at least five times faster. In real terms most gaming titles load 2 - 3 seconds faster from NVMe drive. 

 

SATA SSD and low-end NVMe drives have similar pricing.
