Your chassis is the only cougar you’ll be touching, huh? Seriously though, maybe consider a different case if you're worried about airflow or aesthetics. Also, looks like some upgrades could help!
You might want to swap the B840 motherboard for a B850. It’ll help with future-proofing, especially if you plan to upgrade your GPU later!
Is the B850 really worth it? I feel like I won’t benefit much unless I upgrade to a GPU with PCIE 5.0 support.
Your build is solid overall! But to save some bucks on cooling, an air cooler might do the job instead of the AIO. Also, go for a B650 or B850 motherboard for better features. For RAM, faster speeds could benefit you, and I’d suggest choosing SSDs like the MP44L or NM790 for improved speeds.
Sounds good! I’ll check those suggestions out. Thanks!
Thanks for the laugh! Should I look for a different chassis then?
