Hey everyone! I'm looking for feedback on my final PC build. I want to know if there are ways to enhance it, keeping the same GPU and CPU. Are there opportunities to cut costs without sacrificing performance or quality? Here's the link to my build: https://fr.pcpartpicker.com/list/cHXCbp. I'm also planning to add six Arctic P12 fans. One last thing—I'm concerned about the aesthetics; I don't have any RGB lighting and I'm worried my setup might look dull. I prefer subtle purple or Arctic lighting over anything flashy. Any thoughts?

You could definitely save some cash by picking a less expensive model of the 9070XT. Maybe look into the 7800x3d too; the performance difference at higher resolutions is pretty minor. For the power supply, a more budget-friendly option like the Rajintek Cratos 850W or Montech Century || Gold 850W could be good alternatives.
Your build looks solid! Honestly, RGB isn’t a big deal; you’re focused on your monitor, not the case. You might not even need more fans; the stock cooler should suffice. If you're looking to save a bit, consider downgrading to something like a 5600 CPU, which is more than enough for most tasks.
Have you thought about a 1000-watt RMx PSU? It gives you extra headroom for power spikes and is most efficient at 50-60% load, which can help with overclocking your 9070 XT if you’re into that. For subtle RGB, consider just adding one RGB fan like the Thermalright TL-S12W for some nice effect without going overboard. If you're looking to save, a different NVMe from brands like Patriot Viper might save you some bucks while still delivering quality.
