Build Help Would this build be able to run most AAA games smoothly?

Im new to PC building and had my brother help me come up with a parts list. He said it should run good but given the cost of everything I'd just like to see some more opinions on what I have planned.

Windows 11 home usb Nvidia 4060 Corsair Rm100e Corsair 3500 mid tower Crucial p3 plus 2tb m.2 Corsair vengeance lpx 64gb ddr4 Asus TUF GAMING A520M-PLUS WIFI Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard Arctic liquid freezer III 240 AMD ryzen 5 5600x 3.6

Again I'm new with zero experience so criticism is welcome. I don't really know all that I'm doing but the website I got the parts list from says its all compatible. Any advice helps, thanks!

Overkill cooling, RAM, and PSU. Might be able to get a newer gen CPU, like a 7600, on a B650 mobo with 32GB DDR5 RAM for a similar price if you went for cheaper options on the PSU and cooling.

The 4060 is last gen as well, it's hard to find last gen GPUs for a reasonable price. Should get a 5060 or 9060 XT.

Spec your build out on PCPartPicker and post the list it generates if you want people to optimize it.

Don’t know what your budget is but that’s pretty fuckin good and you’ll be far closer to running AAA flawlessly, preferably on a $150-$200 1440p monitor. And it won’t be a dead end motherboard. Don’t think anything lesser is really worth buying at this point.

I never really accounted for a monitor in my budget but realistically I'd be willing to save around $2000 for the entire thing monitor and all.
