I'm in Sweden and I'm about to buy parts for my first PC build alongside my brother. I've done a good amount of research but would love to get some feedback from more experienced builders. I play 1440p games like Fortnite, Overwatch, and Minecraft. I know my setup might be overkill for those games, but I'm planning to dive into AAA titles as well, starting with Control, which I got for free on the Epic Games Store. I'm a bit uncertain about the RAM and SSD choices, and I've heard that I should invest in better fans, although I've been told these are decent for the price. The total cost comes to about 1000 SEK, which is roughly 106.37 USD, and I've noticed that prices here in Sweden are higher than in the US or Canada. I'll make my purchase during Black Friday to hopefully snag some better deals!

Everything seems good overall! If you're aiming for a blackout theme, consider switching to the Phantom Spirit 120 SE without RGB—it performs slightly better and fits the aesthetic you're going for.
Your list looks pretty solid! One tip for the RAM: if you can, try to get a kit with CL30 instead of CL36 for better performance, but if that pushes your budget, what you have should still work great!
Just a heads up, prices may change come Black Friday. I found a setup that's a little cheaper and comes with a 9800x3D, which is a good upgrade. Check this link for a better option: https://se.pcpartpicker.com/list/9b29VF
That looks good! I'm thinking of going with that since the 5070 Ti and 9070 XT have pretty similar performances, right?
I actually swapped the RAM to CL30 and added some RGB for just a bit more—thanks for the suggestion!
