I was assembling a possible build for acquiring new components, so I viewed a YouTube video for some ideas, as I’m a fan of Lian Li products.

My concerns are: everything seems to be in order? Also, I noticed a USB issue at the bottom, but the creator didn’t mention it. Will this affect the fans? I haven’t purchased fans before—I usually use cases with fans and never added any myself. Any feedback would be appreciated.
Does everything look okay?
Right now it seems so, especially with the specs page for that RAM kit:
https://www.corsair.com/us/en/p/mem...Kl...-techspecs
It mentions the RAM is designed for Intel systems. I would recommend choosing a kit with AMD’s E.X.P.O or G.Skill Neo series, which are built for AMD’s AM5 platform. In terms of speed, you’re in the right range for DDR5-6000MHz or DDR5-6000MT/s. If gaming is your goal, consider a PCIe5.0 drive as the primary storage drive. Avoid Bose audio options since personal preferences differ widely. Nuphy products have mixed reviews; if you prefer Hall Effect switches, Wooting’s line might suit you better—they’ve refined the concept with their software. I’d steer clear of Razer items, as they tend to be overpriced and low-quality.
Feedback is welcome.
There are similar options available. A few items in the list, such as the keyboard, are already owned. I’m okay with exchanging parts if needed, like the keyboard. The parts I planned to replace were the RAM, graphics card, and SSD from my old PC to a new one. If the RAM causes issues, I can swap it out. Another point I wanted to confirm is whether switching from the X870e Aorus Master to an Extreme AI model would make a noticeable performance difference, given the price variation.
Extremely minor note: in his most recent evaluations Igor from Igorslab considers Arctic MX-7 superior to Duronaut, though the delivery times of MX-7 might pose challenges because of its recent release.
