So I am planning to build a new PC.
I want to game @ 1440p.

Games I Play:
Apex Legends
Overwatch
Heroes of the Storm
Old School Runescape

Future Games:
Back 4 Blood

As you can see, nothing overly demanding.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RbN2NP

Monitor: ASUS or LG IPS 144HZ+ 1440p (Whatever is better priced @ the time of purchase)
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600x (I already have this part)
Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming B550-Plus (Wi-Fi)
CPU Cooler: NZXT X63 RGB
Case: NZXT H510 Elite
PSU: Corsair RM 750W Gold Modular
Ram: Corsair Veng Pro 16GB 3600 RGB
Storage: Samsung 970 Evo 1TB M.2
GPU: RTX 3070(Anyone I can get my hands On)

Do I need anything additional to control the 4 RGB fans total that this build has?

believe that case comes
with rgb controler
and mobo has 2 rgb headers

id possibly get maybe a faster
ssd just in case for future
but overall its a solid build

I believe the Samsung 970's are PCIe Gen3, while Samsung 980's are PCIe Gen4. So in terms of read/write speeds, Gen4 is faster. But when it comes to gaming, I do not believe you'll see a significant or notable difference. If you're doing a lot of file management or other activities that does a lot of file creation/moving, then you'd probably want the Gen4 speed.
