Hi everyone! I'm new to building PCs and I'm looking for some advice as I'm planning to treat myself to a custom build. I've done a bit of research and pieced together a list of parts, but I still have a lot to learn, especially about case fans. I've noticed that many builds include about five fans, and I'm unsure if the ones I listed are sufficient or if I should consider adding more. I already have monitors, and while I don't plan on going for a 4K setup right now, I want the option available if I decide later. I'm also good with my keyboard and mouse setup and just want to ensure this PC has the right components to let me enjoy playing games like Cyberpunk, Battlefield V, Red Dead 2, Mafia, and Elden Ring smoothly. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for taking the time to read this and let me know if I'm doing something wrong here in my post.

First off, the PC parts market can change pretty quickly. If you're saving up for a few months, maybe check back closer to when you have the funds ready. Also, you might want to swap that SFX power supply for an ATX version since SFX is usually for smaller cases. And those fans you have are nice, but quite pricey. I suggest checking out Thermalright for more budget-friendly options.
Thanks for the heads-up! I just threw this together to get an idea of what to save up for. The SFX to ATX thing was confusing, so I appreciate that clarification!
