I'm about to finalize my first PC build and would love some feedback on the parts I've selected. Here's a link to my list with prices: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/k9pBgn. Do you think everything looks good, or is there anything I might be missing to make the build easier?

I suggest considering a cheaper AIO cooler, like the ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro 360. It’s about $270 less and should cool your CPU just as well or better. Also, think about adding an extra 32GB of RAM if your budget allows!
As for the RAM, I think I’ll hold off for now and see how things go!
Everything looks solid! You're getting a great deal on that 4TB drive too! Prices used to be so much higher for that capacity. Just a heads-up, make sure to double-check compatibility with your motherboard and case.
Yeah, seriously! I remember when I was looking for a 4TB drive and the prices were outrageous. It's nice to see them coming down!
Just a little FYI on coolers: the Arctic has been rated poorly in thermal tests for the 9800x3d. You could look at the Corsair RS 360, which has a decent version for $160. Not sure how it compares to the non-LCD version, though.
