Questions about my upcoming PC upgrade

My current build consists of:

GPU: GTX 1660 Ti 6GB

CPU: Ryzen 5 3600X

RAM: 16GB DDR4 2133MHz

Motherboard: ASUS Prime X570-Pro

HDD: 2TB

SSD: Samsung 980 PRO 1TB|

Power Supply: Corsair RM750

Case: Thermaltake V250 TG ARGB Air (just the front panel is glass)

Monitor: ViewSonic 24 Inch 1080p 1ms 144Hz

What I plan to purchase:

(Microcenter Bundle, which consists of):

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 9600X

RAM: G.Skill Flare X5 Series 16GB DDR5-6000 (1 stick)

Motherboard: ASUS B650E Max Gaming Wi-Fi

GPU: PNY RTX 5060Ti 8GB Dual Fan OC

Monitor: AOC 27 Inch Curved 1080p 0.3ms 280Hz

(Total upgrade cost of ~$900)

Now, for my questions:

Will the parts I picked be compatible with my old parts & my motherboard?

Are there better alternatives I could pick? (Especially for the GPU, I see people say that the 8GB is not enough, and I also see many variations of the 5060Ti on Amazon.)

Would I be fine to purchase the GPU early, as it can be shipped, and put it in my current PC? (For the bundle, I must go pick it up in person.)

Would my PC be lacking in any region?

What would be a good CPU cooler & thermal paste to go with the new core?

If anyone could answer any of these questions, I would highly appreciate it. Thank you! ^^
