Everything here look good?
did a lot of research on the following;
cooling the cpu
thermal paste
4k 144hz+ displays
4090 platforms
ram

other stuff not positive about, especially the tower case.
Could use some feedback.

please, for the love of god add an nvme ssd.. at this pricepoint its percent wise a minimal extra investment and it makes a huge difference having your ios on it..

Haven't looked through the build in-depth, only gave it a quick glance.

Are you doing professional workloads that demand 64 GB of RAM? Otherwise I'd bump it down to just 32, and if it's strictly gaming you should be able to get away with just 16 easily too.
Does your network (as in router, etc) support 10 gigabit ethernet speed? Otherwise that network card is completely redundant as it will be bottlenecked to 1 gigabit (which is the most common standard still). Your motherboard also supports 2.5 gigabit natively.

Nvme drives are way faster as they are not bottlenecked by SATA (which the SSD you picked is). You have 5x m.2 slots on the motherboard you picked, may as well use them.
One of the 5 slots is even PCIe 5.0, if you're looking for the absolute bleeding edge ssd speed. But note you will likely not really see any tangible difference between a bleeding edge m.2 drive vs a run-at-the-mill m.2 drive in games.

I had a problem with my current mobo and its ethernet imput so i was going to get the same here (i have fiber so 1k/1k so yea shouldnt mater i suppose).
as for the ram I'd rather be prepared for anything as this build is going to be lasting a long time, i dont mind spending extra there.

for the SSD drives i would like to have the fastest possible at reasonable speeds, and dump things like my created videos and extra stuff on the 4tb, so would you recommend i get a m.2 ssd for gaming instead of the sata ssd?

Get one for OS and some games, sure.
