This would already come to a 1000-1200 euros not counting for racks or bags haha.

Would you recommend a lower groupset? I just want it to last a long time that's why I would go for the xt. I don't have a lot of money as I am a student but I'm saving every penny for a bike. Used to ride a full carbon fixie but it got stolen so now it's time for something different. Exploring the world with a bike and a tent seems to me like the best holiday I could imagine
