Comes in a bit under €1050 so you've plenty to get a keyboard, mouse and homeplugs, which I'd recommend instead of using WiFi

That motherboard is woefully underspecced for an 8-core Ryzen; low-quality/quantity of VRMs and without coolers.

Something like this build is more balanced (especially in regards to OPs monitor) & leaves change for the mouse/keyboard.

*edit* @OP:
