12GB vram is a gimmick for 3060, you'll never utilize it fully.

Any suggestion for RAM 3200 cl16 rgb ones?
Is there any cards better off in this price range, zotac provides 5 yr warranty.

Another card you can consider is 6600XT. This performs almost same as 3060 but you won't get nvenc encoder and Ray Tracing. If you don't need these 2 then 6600XT is good contender. As Goku said, 3060 isn't cut for 1440/4k gaming where it will fill 12GB VRAM and definitely can't play with RT enabled, without DLSS. Read more about RT and DLSS and see how useful it is at 1080p gaming. Go for whatever card is cheaper.

Put price breakdown
RAM - Get 3600MHz CL18 IMO, barely 1k more for slight uplift in fps, also look into XPG D60 for RGB RAM, cheaper
SSD - Samsung 980 costs same as SN570 on sale these days
Cooler - Neither of them are RGB, 400 pro has blue light. Take any of them.
Cabinet - 1st & last are the same cabinet IMO, there's just no fan & 4 fan variant of that cabinet.
CPU - Intel i5 12400 - 17.1k
Mobo - MSI B660M A Pro WiFi - 14.6k
RAM - Corsair Vengeance 3600MHz LPX - 6.25k
GPU - Zotac RTX 3060 Twin Edge 12 GB - 35.8k
M.2 nvme - XPG Gammix S5 1TB - 7.6k or
WD SN570 1TB - 8.2k
PSU - Deepcool PM650D 80+ Gold - 5.2k
CPU Cooler - Deepcool AK400 - 2.3k
Cabinet - Ant Esports 510 AIR - 4.3k
Installation charge, benchmark test - 2.5k
Total 95.6k quoted by local gaming build shop.
RAM - proccy supports 3200 MHz, so buying 3600 make any sense?
SSD - Online search shows wd sn570 being at par with Samsung 980, any comments? Local shop promotes the xpg Gammix S5, i find the read speeds to be lower than the fromer. So confused which one?
GPU - Zotac provides 5 years warranty, is it ok to sacrifice 3k to 4k for that and being nvidia? 6600 not available locally.
PSU - Someone mentioned concern about deepcool quality on psu, should i consider Corsair or other?
Cabinet - More into aesthetics, liked coolermaster td mesh 500 at 7.5k.
Cooler - Suggest an aio twin fan cooler for rgb aesthetics and cooling. Is cooling by ak400 or aio cooling better? On search, Deepcool twin fan aio comments were that only at same temp as stock fan.
Commentz plz, finalising today.

Build the PC yourself do not give even a rupee for assembly
Do not cheap out on the power supply
If you are buying 3060 because of 12 GB VRAM, don't.
Case and cooler are not good enough
Check prices on primeabgb and mdcomputers.

Cx650 Corsair not available. Any better ones?
Msi 6600 XT mech 2x at 36k is justifiable? Is this good card? Does 6600 and XT versions run perfectly on msi b660m?
Cabinets, still confused btw
Ant Esports 690 Air 5.6k
DEEPCOOL MATREXX 55 MESH ARGB 4F 5.5k
Ant Esports 510 AIR 4.3k

NZXT C650 (80+ Bronze) or the Corsair CX650F or ASUS TUF Gaming Bronze 650w. If none of these are available, then go with the deepcool PSU.
Yes the RX 6600 XT is a good deal. Replace the 3060 with that.
For cabinet, the 510 Air is fine. Go with that itself.
A simple tower cooler will suffice for the 12400. The AK400 is more than enough to keep it cool.
There isn't much difference between the SN570 and Samsung 980. You're only getting the advantage of Samsung's name by going with the 980. Go with whichever is cheaper.
Other than these, your build is fine.

RAM will run at 3600MHz using XMP, put mobo BIOS at Gear 1 setting as well for best performance. 6k for 3600MHz Vengeance is a bit high, but not too bad.
SSD - Samsung 980 is superior to SN570, slightly, I got my friend 980 for under 8k on sale with card offers from amazon. Get at least SN570.
GPU - Get the zotac 3060 if that is what's available locally, register it online within 30 days to get 5 year warranty. Definitely overspending a bit here.
PSU - Deepcool one is bare minimum, I myself spent on a 8.5k PSU for my rig
Cabinet - If you like the looks & can afford it, get TD 500 Mesh, good case, not best (that would be Lancool II Mesh at this price for cooling)
Cooler - Even a simple 1.5k tower cooler is enough for i5 12400, I use it with the stock cooler as gaming rarely pushes my CPU temps above 80C avg. AIO is a waste of money IMO, just adds aesthetics, nothing else. Also AIOs are consumables & last upto 5 years at best, so air coolers are just more reliable & 0% chance of leakage (it is pretty close to 0 for AIO, but not 0%).
AIO - Cheapest 240mm ARGB one, as cooling performance won't matter much, maybe the Deepcool one.
Except GPU & installation charges, I don't see high quote for anything else.
OS - Get grey market retail key, I will recommend Win10 over 11. Most users will be satisfied with Win11 though, unlike myself & some power users.

LG 24GN650. I found BenQ an easy no as it is usually just expensive compared to competition.

Secondly does 27" gaming cause eye strain, being a reason for me to avoid 27" and also read about pixelation at 1080p, if not used at 1440.

Do not waste money on rainbow leds. Static, changeable colours are best IMO.

Buy Keyboard where you can turn off LEDs, if ever needed. Much better if it can do what Goku is telling above. Rainbow gets irritating very soon.
1080p on 27" does suffer from pixellation. Following are better combination
1080p-24"
1440p-27"
2160p-32"
You can also do 4k on 27" but the texts will be small.
