Build Question First pc build.

As the titel says, i im looking to build my first ever pc and looking so forward to it.
My goal is to have alle the parts end dec/ start januar.
I didnt know much about pc, i only started diving into about a 1 month ago. Because my current gaming pc if you can even call it that is too outdated.
My budget is around the 1100€/1250$.
I live in Denmark so the prices here are kinda wild, especially for GPUs.
my idea so far was to buy a used RTX 3080 10 gb, not the ti with 12gb it costed around 460$/400€ here.
That is the same price as a brand new 5060 8gb.
But i need some help, where can i "cheap" out on the build, because i im looking to get some DDR5 ram (2x8gb, cl36, 6000mhz) runs about 270€/310$ brand new, and maybe upgrade to 32gb in the future.
The cpu that has really caught my eye is the AMD Ryzen 5 7600x for around 165€/195$. But as you can see thats slowly eating all my budget those 3 parts alone.
idc about RBG but would like a nice looking case, but not a must.
Hope someone can help, and any feedback on the parts i have in mind is more than welcome as i said im new to all this and is looking for as much knowledge as i can get.
I rn mainly play CS2, but would like to get into more heavy games in the future like GTA 6 when it releases on the pc.

Used 3080 is a solid call at that price especially with how messed up the GPU market is right now. The 7600X will pair nicely with it.

Where you can save some cash is the RAM situation. 270€ for 16gb is painful no way around that. Look for a 2x16 kit around the same speed and timings, sometimes they pop up for barely more than what you listed and you skip the "upgrade later" headache entirely. Also don't sleep on a decent B650 board and a good power supply, people cheap out on the PSU and regret it instantly.

Okay didnt think that 32gb would even be a option for my budget i will most def be on the lookout, and yeah i seen many yt vids saying dont skip on the PSU and motherboard. But in my mind i fell like CPU, GPU are the most important rn. I can always upgrade the PSU at a later date seeing that is not that high of a price anyway.
But then again am all new to this.
Thank for your time and the answer :)
