Hey everyone! I'm gearing up to build my very first PC and I've created a part list that I'd love for you to check out. I've attached the link to my list on PCPartPicker. I'm hoping you can let me know if everything looks good or if there's anything I should change or add. I'm also wondering if I'm missing any essentials for the actual build like extra cables or adapters, and if my fan setup makes sense since I've planned 2 exhaust fans in the rear and 6 intakes. Any other tips for a first-time builder would be greatly appreciated too!

You've definitely spent a lot on aesthetics! Just a heads up, if the Crucial T500 is cheaper than the 990 Pro, I’d go for that. Also, consider the configuration of your fan setup; have you thought about reverse fans for your intakes? Plus, when choosing a PSU, I’d recommend a good quality 850W unit—cheaper and still A-tier—and using some white cable extensions for a cleaner look.
What do you mean by reverse fans? I'm planning on having 3 fans at the bottom for intake, the AIO will have 3 intakes too, and then 2 exhausts at the back. I just want to ensure plenty of cool air is flowing through! Also, I'm not skimping on the PSU since I plan to upgrade to the 6000 GPU series eventually. Any recommendations for white cable extensions?
