Looks great overall, but you can save some money here and there.

You can drop your motherboard to a decent B550 option from here - https://www.cgdirector.com/best-b550-motherboards/#B550_Motherboard_Overview
The GPU is pretty overpriced so try finding a better graphics card at that price point (preferably a 3060/3060 Ti) locally. This list might help - https://www.cgdirector.com/where-to-buy-pc-parts-cpus-graphics-cards-in-your-country/
