I've just finished planning my first PC build and wanted to see if there are any potential issues with my choices. Here are the specs I've put together:
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 4.7 GHz 8-Core Processor
- **CPU Cooler**: Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE ARGB 66.17 CFM
- **Motherboard**: MSI MAG B850 TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI ATX AM5
- **Memory**: Corsair Vengeance RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL36
- **Storage**: Samsung 990 Pro 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 NVME
- **Video Card**: PowerColor Red Devil OC Radeon RX 9070 XT 16 GB
- **Case**: NZXT H7 Flow RGB (2024) ATX Mid Tower
- **Power Supply**: Montech CENTURY II 850 W 80+ Gold Fully Modular
- **Case Fan**: Phanteks D30-120 Reversed 120 mm Fans (3-Pack)
- **Monitor**: LG UltraGear 27GR83Q-B 27.0" 2560 x 1440 240 Hz
The total cost is around $2480.74. I'm particularly concerned about whether I overpaid for certain components or if there are any compatibility or performance issues I should know about.

It sounds like you have a great plan! Just to add, moving the stock fans to the top and using the new Phanteks fans at the front for an even 7 fans setup sounds like a smart move. That should help with airflow and aesthetics!
One thing to consider is the power supply wattage; 850W should be plenty for your build, but always good to check if you plan to overclock or add more components later.
Overall it looks good! Just double-check the compatibility of the parts, especially the motherboard and your CPU cooler height, to avoid any last-minute surprises.
Your build looks solid overall! However, I think the $105 for additional fans is a bit much, especially since the case should come with fans included. You might want to consider getting a cheaper AIO cooler instead to enhance the look of your setup. Just a suggestion!
I hear you! I'm trying to get my RGB to pop too, so if you're considering an AIO, definitely check out options that have reverse fans to match your setup.
That case actually only comes with one rear fan, so it might not be as over-fanned as it seems. You could also look into some reverse fan options for better RGB visibility!
