You might save some cash by choosing a 86 dollar mouse set—it’s a bit steep, around 35 bucks or less would fit nicely with a mouse and keyboard combo. The motherboard you’re considering is also quite pricey for that CPU; similar models are available for much less while still offering strong VRM and OC capabilities. An 80 dollar package with three fans comes across as a bit high, roughly 30 dollars per fan, so a 40-50 fan set with RGB would likely be sufficient. There’s also an optional 3600mhz cL 16 RAM kit for 72 dollars at Micro Center.
I don’t recall a chip more costly than the CPU, though the motherboard is solid. You can find cheaper boards with decent VRM and upgrade potential. Allocate that budget to a stronger GPU. With an $800 setup featuring a GTX 1660 Super, you’re already in a great range.
