You really don't need that AIO, a decent air cooler would be a better choice. I left a little bit of the budget so you can still change that if you really want to, but I would just save that money. Maybe use it for 32gb RAM but that's not really needed for gaming unless you do a lot of multitasking.

 

Edit: here is a black version. Also includes 850w because that's the same price as 750. The build costs a bit more because of the cooler and the decent black PSU's cost more than the white one.

240mm AIO is pointless. Other air coolers beat them that are cheaper.

3060TI is very bad value right now. Can get faster card for same price or same speed cards for far less.

 

Get something like this instead:
