Need help building pc

Hello, I’m looking to build a pc too mainly play games with but I know little about specs and the difference between GPUs and other GPUs, CPUs and other CPUs and so on. I’ve picked out parts that I believe to be good for my budget but am still unsure, can someone help me out with this?

What games would you like to play? What's your budget exactly? (I'd assume it's around 1500$ based off your parts list). What resolution and refresh rate are you targeting? Also what settings are you planning to play at? If you care about ray tracing, I've had a pretty solid experience with a 3060Ti, but I've heard that AMD GPUs are better if you don't care about ray tracing. (better meaning better performance per $, especially if you buy them used)
Your case only has one fan set as an exhaust. I'd consider getting a case with pre-installed fans. I'm leaving further advice to other people since that's where my knowledge ends 🙂

The 120mm fan goes inside the back of that case for an exhaust fan.

That’s fine if that’s where your knowledge ends it still helps but to answer some of your questions, I’m not looking to be hard core gaming expecting 500fps ultra graphics while streaming on OBS and all that, planning on running a few first person shooters like cs:go, Valorant plus a few others such as remnant from the ashes 1-2 and others games that performance would not be a issue for. Hoping  for 120fps+ with mid-high graphics with 1080p resolution. Was thinking that more fans for the case was gonna be needed but was just gonna get them when I go in to buy the other stuff so that I know they’ll fit. Haven’t tried my luck out with a amd GPU besides a dodgy one I used for about a year(they discontinued the drivers for it like 2 years ago 💀) and got a second hand navidia gpu that served me well till now.

Wow that case looks cool as and very air flowy, and thanks for changing up a few other stuff, might look into that instead. Thanks for the help
