I'm upgrading my CPU and currently considering using the ID-Cooling A720 cooler. Do you think it will be adequate for cooling the 9800X3D, or should I look for a more powerful option? Also, if you notice any major flaws in my build, feel free to let me know! I've included all the components I've already purchased in my current setup.

The ID-Cooling A720 should do the job just fine for the 9800X3D. However, if you're looking for something that might perform even better without breaking the bank, you should check out the Thermalright Phantom Spirit—it's got great price-to-performance and is quite effective.
Yeah, the Phantom Spirit is a solid choice if you haven't purchased a cooler yet. It can keep up with some heavier CPUs, and it's cheaper than a lot of high-end options. Trust me, it's like a budget version of the Noctua NH-D15.
I was using the little Intel cooler that came with my CPU, so I definitely need to get a proper one. Thanks for the suggestion!
