using a site like “PC parts picker” will help. It will tell you if the parts you pick are compatable. it’s pretty accurate, with the exception of the prices it gives you. After you pick your parts you will have to hunt down the best deals.

Have you considered the GIGABYTE GAMER RX9060XT 16GB card? It’s available here for $389.99 - I just bought one for myself last week and it has made a world of difference in my gaming experiences, especially since I was upgrading from an MSi GTX GeForce 1070 Ti 8GB card that was about to see its 8th birthday! It was (and still is, really, for 1080p gaming) a great card, but it got to the point where I just couldn’t play any of the newer games I want to play. The new Gigabyte card allows me to do just that without breaking my bank. I think you might want to consider it as well. Cheers, and good luck with your rig, whichever way to decide to go!
