help PC advice and tips

(First off, I would like to say that I have never used any forum before in my life. So if this is the wrong location to be asking this kind of question, or if you all don't really talk about this sort of thing normally, just let me know!)

Greetings everyone,

I don't really visit Forums, sub-reddits or other similiar forms of media, but this time I needed to make an exception. I was planning on upgrading my PC for a long time but never did it. Until recently where I finally did decide to upgrade. I am pretty happy with my choice but I was going to ask for some advice. I saw that Linus was both happy and disappointed about the GPU that I chose, and I wasn't sure aswell if the overall configuration works well together. Since, I remember some friends of mine talking about bottle-necking my setup or something like that. Also, about the "mix" of AMD and a GeForce card, instead of a AMD CPU with a AMD GPU. So I wanted to ask some people if they could tell me if I made the right choices, or if I need to chance some things up or not. Did I overspend? Could I have saved somewhere? Or should I have gone a bit deeper in some areas and left a lot of room for improvement? I'm not new to pc's and 'tech' perse, but I'm just not sure how well components work together and what items are concidered a waste or not.

I chose the parts, and the company will put the pc together and install the software/windows and all for me. But I can still ask them to chance some parts if it fits/works for them aswell. Considering if they have the items on hand or not for example.
