Welcome to the forum.

Tip, pcpartpicker has a link of which you could share your build to others, therefore suggestions could be made by changing the parts from that link. Target resolution + FPS and type of games you play would go along way for determining the best parts.

 

Any reason to go with 5600X instead of 12th gen Intels? 12400 is cheaper and faster than 5600x.

Do you do any editing? If not, 16GB of RAM is enough for gaming and general task.

The budget reallocated from the CPU and RAM could get you to an RTX 3080, or RX 6800 XT.

In a couple of months a whole new generation of CPU's and GPU's will come out. By that time potential builds will be irrelevant as not only new parts change the performance value aspect but also pricing and availability will change.

 

In terms of your build, the motherboard is a really bad choice. Just pick a motherboard that already comes with WIFI. You're not really gonna be overclocking your CPU and it doesn't seem like you need all the pcie lanes to be fast since there's no extra cards, let alone storage?

 

If you do plan to get a PC now however, this will wastey outperform it while costing the same:

The 6950xt makes no sense whatsoever when the 6900xt is under $700.

You can get a 5-pack of those fans for the same price and have 2 spares or use them for top exhaust.  But I don't think you sneed any of them.  IIRC the eclipse comes with fans.

Yea 5x120mm might be cheaper as I just prefer 140mm but as far as I know the P300A always only comes with one rear fan. With 600W I don't think rear fan and CPU fan will be enough to get the system to air itself. 

Think even in Linus's recent real cheap PC video they had this exact case and he mentioned that for a powerful system the 1 fan won't be enough so he's in the same boat as me.

I think that case comes with fans if you get a different sku.  Yeah you want frontal intake, I just was unaware that a fanless sku existed, as I've recommended that exact case a few times in a sku that came with fans.
