Hello! I'm wanting to build my own PC. I know absolutely nothing but here's the part list CGDirector created:

CPU: Intel i5 10600k 4.1GHz 6-Core Processor ($298.99)
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-U12S ($59.95)
Motherboard: MSI Z490-A Pro ATX LGA1200 ($159.99)
GPU: Nvidia RTX 2060 SUPER 8GB - MSI Gaming X ($399.00)
Memory: 32GB (2 x 16GB) Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3200 C16 ($114.99)
Storage PCIe-SSD: Crucial P1 1TB, M.2 Solid State Drive ($104.99)
Power Supply: Corsair CX Series CX550M 550W ATX 2.4 Power Supply ($90.79)
Case: Corsair Carbide Series 275Q ATX Mid Tower Case ($102.98)
Total: $1331.68

The GPU they recommended is throwing me off. Can someone tell me more about this GPU or recommend another one?
ANY help/advice when it comes to purchasing is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hey Sarah, what workload are you planning to run? Also, I have to throw out an obligatory warning that the new generation of Nvidia GPUs has been announced already so you should get more bang for the buck if you were to wait a while for them to launch.
