First build, summer job

So I got a summer job and according to my calculations, which might be wrong, I’ll be making around $3,000 to $5,000 USD. I’ve decided that I want to build my first PC at the end of this summer, so I made this build. I tried to keep to a $3,000 budget because I don’t know how accurate my calculations were, so I might actually have a bit more space in my budget. Any suggestions or ideas on my build?

yes, only make a part list when you already have the money. A list that looks good today can be bad in mere days.

New parts Are rumoured to come out before the end of the summer. So don't even bother planning the specific parts now.
