Update: The spec recommended by @sck451, for which many thanks again, has been beset by a couple of unavailable items - notably the cooler and memory. While there is no rush necessarily, the expected date for availability is 1st July and I'm wondering if there is are any similar quality items...
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll likely go with most of them, but will stick with the 3060 Ti because over the years I have preferred my Nvidia cards to my AMD ones. I'm also probably sticking with Windows 10 as I see nothing of any benefit to me in Windows 11 but I only went for the...
I'd appreciate any comments on these specs please.

I do appreciate your assistance, hopefully we've covered all bases now so I won't have to trouble you again!
Thanks MrWilson, much appreciated.
I should have clarified my internet connection. I don't make any use of wifi at all, but consider it sensible to cover that option in any new build. I use the VM Superhub 3 which I assume will plug direct or through a separate router into the lan port.

Thanks both.
The monitor is a BenQ G2420HDBL 24" Widescreen LED, I have a similar but slightly newer model on my other computer. Standard resolution is 1920x1080.
What would be the comparable level AMD processor please, I know nothing about them these days, and would that affect the choice of...
