MSI PRO B660M-A WIFI DDR4 Motherboard (WiFi 6E & Bluetooth 5.2 included)
MSI 3060 Ti VENTUS 2X 8G OCV1 LHR
Kingston Fury 16GB(2x8G) DDR4 3200Mhz
500G - Western Digital Blue SN570 M.2 NVMe SSD
No HDD

Deepcool Gammaxx 400XT LED 4-heatpipes Air Cooler (Black Top)

p.s. the questions I have on my mind right now are:
THANNNKS again for reading this long one and pop whatever your experience or advice and I would be really appreciated!!
I am currently a MacBook user but recently realized a growing need for a windows PC - either to relieve my MacBook from the comprise from ParallelDesktop & have a better gaming experience with friends.
Here are my situations & needs:
- I will still do most of the work on my MacBook (and hopefully, it'll release its full potential after I uninstall the ParallelDestop);
- things that I HAVE to do on the new PC would be gaming (most of them are steam games that could be played as a group but are thinking of trying some mainstream 3A games; not a big fan of FPS games & I have a particular interest in tons of management or stimulating games);
- might also do some biostats analysis work and periodically use Ps, Pr, and Ai on this PC;
- not going to update hardware too soon and wish to keep this PC for at least 3-4 years in a low-maintenance state (and willing to pay a bit more for that);
- I am buying a monitor (LG 27UP850) for the best compatibility of my MacBook;
- the budget is somewhere between AUD 1500 to 2000, depending on what I get

p.s. the questions I have on my mind right now are:
- would my cooling system be enough in this combination?
- I reckon 3060Ti 2x might be hotter than its 3x counterparts
- not sure how the case itself performs in temperature control
- unnecessary fans might increase noise so don't want to do that either...
- see somewhere said the motherboard MSI b660m pro-A might be too strong for this combination of CPU and graphics card? (cuz it could work perfectly with a better combination; it have plenty of ports 2HDMI 2DP);
- but I am choosing this one because I want a better video output (HDMI 2.1)
- take a lot of time to decide between the "MSI PRO B660M-P WIFI DDR4 m-ATX Motherboard (WiFi 5 & Bluetooth included)" they have, and I would be willing to this one if its HDMI&DP 1.4 is actually enough for me
