I'm in the process of building a new PC for my wife and I'm considering using the A3 case. I might be going a bit overboard since she mainly uses it for work tasks like browsing, emails, and some light gaming, such as jigsaw puzzles and Scrabble. I want it to be durable since she doesn't typically upgrade often. I've got a 2 TB NVME drive for the OS ready to go. I'm still undecided about the fan setup; I'm thinking about having three intake fans at the bottom, one exhaust at the back, and maybe two or three exhaust fans at the top, with a possible configuration for those top fans as two exhaust toward the back and one intake toward the front if it fits above the PSU. I'm aiming for all ARGB. Comments and suggestions would be great!

I have the A3 case too, paired with a 7700 and 4070, and I actually have zero fans because it's all mesh and keeps the temperatures low. You might be fine without too many fans if airflow is good!
Just a heads-up, it looks like your PCPartPicker link is private, so I can't check out your build. You might want to make it public or share the parts list directly!
You probably don’t need a 1000W PSU for your build; a 750W would save you some cash and still provide plenty of power.
Thanks, I was a bit unsure about the wattage!
Thanks, I forgot to set it to public. Just fixed it!
