Looking for Advice on My First PC Build - Any Suggestions?

Hey r/buildapc community,
I'm planning to build my very first PC, and I could use some guidance from the experts here. I've been doing some research, but I want to make sure I'm on the right track before I start ordering components.
Here's what I have in mind so far:

I'll mainly be using this PC for gaming and for programming for my data analyst job, and I want it to be a solid, future-proof build.

I'm wondering if there are any areas where I can optimize or if there are better component choices for my specific needs.
Also, any tips for a first-time builder would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your help.
