Other details

I am building a computer for the first time, I have already picked all the components and am 90% sure they will work together but thought it would be a good idea to get people who know what they are doing to double check my selections before I actually buy them. 

Case: NZXT h510 Flow (already purchased so I wont be changing this choice)

Motherboard: MSI MAG B660 TOMAHAWK WIFI DDR4 ATX LGA1700 Motherboard

CPU:  i5 12400

CPU cooler: Vetroo V5 52 CFM

GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 3060 Ventus 2X 12G GeForce RTX 3060 12GB 12 GB

RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory

Storage: Crucial P3 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 3.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive

Power Supply: NZXT C850 (2022) 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply

 

So far I have only purchased the case. Does anything seem incompatible? anything I don't need?

 

I see on pc part picker that it says the motherboard may need a bios update to use the i5 12400 but I am banking on it not needing that. On the amazon store page for the MB someone asked if it does need an update and the manufacturer answered that it should be compatible out of the box, anyone know if that is trustworthy or if there is a similar motherboard where that wont be a question at all?

 

oh also I am upgrading because I have only ever had hardware that is outdated (currently on a 1050ti and an i5 2500) and would like to have something nicer for once.

I don't need peripheral advice but I do plan on having two screens

 

Thank you
