I'm in the process of building my first gaming PC, and I'm curious if my current setup is good enough for gaming at 1440p with 120fps. A good-looking PC is important to me too, as I want to incorporate blue and teal RGB lighting into a white case with glass sides. Here's the list of components I've chosen: Intel Core i7-12700K processor, Cooler Master CPU cooler, MSI motherboard, Corsair 32GB RAM, Western Digital Blue 2TB hard drive, Samsung 990 Pro 2TB SSD, PNY GeForce RTX 5070 GPU, Montech KING 95 PRO case, and a Corsair 850W power supply. The total comes to $1894.42. I also already purchased a Samsung Odyssey 32" 1440p monitor. What do you all think?

Consider switching to an AMD build. An AM5 motherboard with a Ryzen CPU could save you some bucks and possibly offer better performance. Some of your current prices seem a bit high, especially for the GPU. A Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with a 9070XT or 5070ti might give you better value.
I can see that! I actually got my monitor at a huge discount, so that helped a lot with the overall price.
