I don’t have a monitor selected yet, but if anyone has recommendations for a suitable one, it would be great. I’m aiming to stay under 1,000 USD total, not counting monitors or taxes. I think there’s room to improve certain parts, especially the CPU cooler and RAM.
Thanks ahead of time!

This isn't exactly a PSU you'd typically consider. You may wish to skip the PCPartPicker link for your build, as spending on an RTX2060 isn't advisable in 2024. Instead, focus on a dual channel DDR4-3600MHz kit.
noted! here is the list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XFYLN6
Psu.....find a unit with a minimum of 7 years warranty.
Disk.....consider a m.2 NVMe if you prefer, otherwise reduce cable clutter.
Unless you intend to utilize the integrated graphics, the 5600/5600X offer quicker CPUs without the higher price tag.
If you're purchasing a CPU cooler, a downdraft won't be as effective as a tower cooler, making this option preferable:

Skip the 5600g.
For better value, consider this:

Avoid the 2060. It’s outdated and overpriced.
The alternative will offer more worth for your money.

If that’s still costly, opt for this instead.
