Not sure if there are better parts per slot to do similar things. Also unsure if I should try to invest in something better than a 3060 right now with how hard GPUs are to find. Was also debating going for 2x16GB RAM but that feels like overkill short term. Also not sure if I should try to include some extra fans. For storage I also have a few extra HDDs I can slot in to get more space if needed.

GPUs are incredibly easy to find, they're just not well priced.
