I'm putting together my final PC build and would love some feedback on any potential red flags or things I should consider before buying all the parts. You can check out my build at the link below for reference:

I'm not a pro, but here are a few things to double-check: make sure you've got good cooling, as Arctic P12 fans are a great value; also consider adding a couple of fans for exhaust at the top of your case if possible.
Additionally, confirm that the RAM you're picking is compatible with your motherboard, and grab a heatsink for your NVMe SSD to keep things cool. Finally, think about getting a larger SATA drive for general storage in the future, as games just keep getting bigger. And don't forget to use a certified DisplayPort 2.1 cable for your new rig, especially if you're eyeing a high-refresh-rate monitor.
Your build looks solid! But do you really need a 1000W power supply? You might be able to save some money with an 850W unit unless you're planning for major upgrades down the line.
1- I'm planning to add a 3-pack of fans for the top exhaust.
2- I've confirmed the RAM I picked is on the compatibility list for my motherboard.
3- As for my monitor, I'm still using the 1080p 144Hz ASUS VG249Q; will the cable from that monitor work with the new GPU?
