I'm trying to build my first PC, but I've run into some compatibility issues with the parts list I've created. I'm currently waiting on two pieces to arrive, but it seems I made an error in the parts list. Here's the link to my list for reference: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hg7P3R. Can anyone help me understand what the incompatibility is and how I can resolve it?

Honestly, PCPartPicker can get confused about compatibility sometimes. Looking at your list, most things seem fine to me. Try checking the dimensions of your case against the GPU specs to be sure.
The issue seems to stem from the motherboard’s x16 slot being in the first position. You'll need a motherboard that accommodates that, like the B850 Tomahawk, since the Lian Li 011 Mini v2 case has design quirks that could complicate improper layouts.
I can't return my GPU or motherboard, so I'm guessing I need to return the case instead...
It looks like there’s a note mentioning that your case might be too small for the GPU you're using. You might want to verify the measurements and ensure everything will fit comfortably.
I updated my link, my mistake! Can you double-check now?
This is my first build. How can I make sure everything works together?
