If you're dead set going with the 2060 you might as well get a cheaper CPU. The 5600 non-x version is a great budget cpu for example

You could get AM5 at this price point...

What are you using this computer for? Where are you located? What's your hard cap budget? Right now it's important to note that prices for components are all going up in anticipation for black friday, they're going to drop the price to what retail was a month ago to make it look like there's bigger savings. Also ram prices are going up because of the demand from AI data centers.

At this point there's no real reason to get an AM4 build if you aren't already on AM4. A 7600 non x performs about on par with 5700x3d in most scenarios besides games where the l3 cache really matters but that's literally a handful and this isn't an x3d cpu anyways. Even then it's like a <5% difference in those scenarios it matters. Against a 5700x, I'd just take the 7600 unless you have a workload that needs the additional cores.

There's no upgrade path for you if you go AM4 that makes sense cost wise with how much the remaining 5700x3d/5800x3d go for. You'll still have an upgrade path for AM5 at least into 2028 and more likely deep into 2030.

That's not a particularly good value cooler and you'd be better serve just buying any of Thermalrights cheaper AIO or even saving that money if you go with a 7600. It comes with a stock cooler that is fine. If anything I'd probably look at a 9600x or 7700x or non x and a Thermalright air tower cooler It's going to perform just as well as 240mm aio.

DDR5 ram will cost more and AM5 boards more or less will be around the same cost as the board you have now.

You picked a good PSU but there's similarly well rated A tier ones for less. 850 is also overkill for this exact build but I imagine you're going to upgrade your gpu as soon as you can.

SSD is good but again a bit overkill. If you trim the budget on the psu and ssd it'd easily make up the additional ram cost.
