So I should get it? Also from this merchant the 4060 is the same price as the 3060 so i just went with the 4060

Spend a bit more on a the SSD, get something with TLC for example

 

ex WD SN 580 : https://au.pcpartpicker.com/product/rqhv6h/western-digital-blue-sn580-1-tb-m2-2280-pcie-40-x4-nvme-solid-state-drive-wds100t3b0e

 

WD SN 770 : https://au.pcpartpicker.com/product/YVytt6/western-digital-1-tb-m2-2280-nvme-solid-state-drive-wds100t3x0e

 

May want to find a motherboard with onboard wireless, even if it's lower performance (ex only 5ghz, only 600-800 mbps versus wifi 6 1gbps) 

 

For example you B550-K is cheap, but that's because it's minimal (only 4 usb 3 and 4 usb 2 on io shield), no heatsinks on vrm (which can make it problematic to upgrade to 10+ core processors in the future), only gigabit lan etc etc ... it would work fine with 5600 but it's fake economy if you're gonna spend $55 on wireless.  edit : also wireless card would only go in the bottom slot which could partially block video card fans. 

 

For example MSI B550M PRO-VDH WIFI is $174  (you have 109$ + 55$ = 164$ so not much difference) but you get a solid board with heatsinks on vrm, heatsink for the first m.2 connection, you get the usb 10gbps header which could be useful with new cases, and wireless onboard. The wireless is not as good as the dlink you chose, but it can do up to 433 mbps, and you probably don't have super high speeds in Australia anyway.

For psu, Thermaltake Toughpower GX1 may be a better choice, 600w but gold efficiency : https://au.pcpartpicker.com/product/B2MwrH/thermaltake-toughpower-gx1-600-w-80-gold-certified-atx-power-supply-ps-tpd-0600nnfagu-1

 

for video card if you're a nvidia fan, then 4060 makes sense. if you don't mind amd, see what's in the 500$ range - you may be able to save 30-50$ on the case, but get a better performance amd video card. I didn't keep up with the latest 4060 benchmarks so I'm not sure where it sits.

I have a wifi 6 router and i want nvenc so thats why 4060 also 1gb/s internet
edit: is the ssd not good enough also what is TLC?
