Hey everyone! I hope you're all doing well. I've been putting together parts for my new gaming and video editing rig, with potential AI applications, and I'm almost ready to place my order. I'd love your help with a final review. Specifically, I need suggestions for 120mm fans for the rear and bottom intakes. I'm also feeling a bit unsure about the SSD, case, and GPU choices—wondering if I might be overpaying for similar performance. If you have any suggestions or see any mistakes, please feel free to let me know! I'm open to suggestions that offer better value without breaking the bank. Here's my part list: [PCPartPicker Part List](https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/mR3r7w)

I came across an NZXT H9 Flow case that looks fantastic and fits well—supports 420mm cooling too! If you want to match that, the Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro 420mm cooler is a good match. I wasn't impressed with the X870 Aorus Elite motherboard due to its PCIe limitations; I’d suggest the X870E X3D Elite instead for much better features. Your power supply could use an upgrade as well, consider one with longer, good-looking cables for better performance. And for SSDs, a model with DRAM cache would provide better reliability, especially for video editing. Let me know if you have any questions about my suggestions!
When it comes to your case, aesthetic matters! While there are cheaper options available, they often lack those nice RGB features. If you’re open to alternatives, I'd recommend checking out the Montech HS02 Pro or Cooler Master Elite 600; they offer a similar look with included fans. Your SSD choice, the Crucial P510, is solid and priced well right now. If you're looking to save some bucks, consider switching to the Biwin Black Opal NV7400 instead. For the GPU, stick with any card that has the RTX 5080 chip—there's not much difference between brands!
Thanks for the insights! I’m definitely considering those cases. I might switch to the cheaper SSD you suggested.
