How about this build? Do we know when the 3060 will be in stock?

I believe it was released as Pre Order, I refreshed at 2 mins after release and they were already stated as pre order. There was an initial batch of 200 but I'd imagine those are gone now. If you do want a 3060 I'd recommend ordering ASAP. 2060 wise, it does look like there will be stock back on the 9th of April and the 2060 Super will be back on the 8th of April if you're okay to wait. Although I do understand that's more than a month away (although you could be waiting more than a month for the 3060). That said the 2060 Super is £42 more than the 3060.

If you're using the 5600X, I'd highly recommend a non-stock cooler, the Cooler Master Master Liquid 240 Lite is a great option. Alternatively you could select the stock cooler and upgrade it at some point down the road with the PCS upgrade system. I'd also recommend changing your 2.5 inch SSD to a M.2 SSD for much faster speeds and less than a tenner in increase in price.

I'd also recommend a better case. The PCS Spectrum RGB is my go to shout on a budget, as it comes with 4 fans, although they are said to be a little loud. If you're happy to spend more money the Corsair 4000D with a couple of extra fans or the Corsair 220T are good options.

You also don't need to spend £85 on a wireless card, the £19 one will do just fine.
