Thanks!! any ram suggestions too?
2x8GB DDR4 3200 MHz sticks for $100'ish as minimum. The higher spec the better of course.

It's difficult to just pluck component suggestions though. Would suggest using https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/ to put together parts and see what's on offer from other stores & best compatibility etc depending on their preferences.
Some people might want more RAM and fine balancing cost of fewer CPU cores etc.

$559 for a 12600k + B660m
Also comes with a 240mm AIO CPU Cooler for free.This is a great deal!
Probably a Ryzen 5 5600X and B550 for that budget assuming general use and some gaming.
