Hello! I'm new to building PCs and i have finally put together my first build. I'm nervous about how it may work as I am not an expert with computers and have always bought pre build computers in the past...

I was hoping to get some feedback and see if this looks like it would be a compatible build and make sense. Thank you in advance!

Recommend changing some parts.
Motherboard Quality 5/10 - Recommend asus / msi ( More Heat Resistance to keep parts safer ) Better Bios
Video card Quality 4/10 - Recommend EVGA > Any Edition - FTW3 is best, better thermal pads. Huge difference in Durability / gaming , especially if using more than 1 screen.
Corsair water cooler 4/10 - Corsair is known to have troublesome Fans , recommend asus / msi ( Even get some better Fan Hub controller features )


* Overall you should just wait until October 28th * When Intel 13th gen comes out, and Nvidia 4000 series comes out. ( 54 days to go ! )

Motherboard is easy 7.5/10, the Phantom 4 series has always known to have good power delivery, BIOS is lacking but it's Asrock, they've always been mediocre interface but who cares for the amount of time you spend in BIOS
GPU is easy 7.5/10, Gigabyte cards are just fine, they're biggest complaint is potential coil whine down the road, but this can happen to many GPU's regardless
AIO Cooler is 8/10, the Elite Capellix have always been very solid

Two things I would potentially change;

1. Memory - TEAMGROUP T-Force Delta RGB 64 GB (2 x 32 GB) DDR4-3600 CL18 Memory ~ Switch this to 4x16gb to run quad channel
2. Storage - Samsung 870 Evo 4 TB 2.5" Solid State Drive ~ Switch this to a 2TB PCIE Gen4 M2 NVME ** BOOT ** (Crucial P5+/Western Digital Black SN850) and then buy a 2TB 2.5" SSD for extra storage. Your boot/load times will thank you.
