I would suggest going for higher speed memory, example 48GB/64GB DDR5 8000.

6 sata ports mobo are few, i think only a handful with the model you choose to be one of the cheapest around.

AIO just get the Corsair Nautilus 360 for S$157 in amazon.sg.

Mobo not many choice within my budget :
If not because of the extra sata port I would go for a $300 cheaper mb
AIO 3x120 vs 2x120 is there alot of difference?

for mostly general use, u are overpaying for a cpu that u wont even come close to making full use of. a basic ryzen 5 setup will be more than enough (including for gaming) for 1/4 the price.
