As mentioned elsewhere, may look into a 5600/5600(x) as the ?700 series 
seems to be less available, if there's an update that far.

Should be fine, if you do bump up, for the 3060, unless you're doing 
nvlink for live encoding, would probably consider an rx 6700 for a bit 
less and roughly the same raster performance (slightly lower rtx, but 
the 3060 isn't great at that anyway)

Not sure I'd go new right now... though if you got a nice B550/570 
motherboard, you could got something like 5800x/5800x3d and a faster 
nvme drive.  Depends on what all you do with the computer.
