You won't have to buy thermal paste—it's included with the cooler. The case is completely customizable, which can be costly for such a product and would appear sparse with just one 240mm GPU. However, if it includes all the fans, that adds some value. Airflow looks decent based on images, though it's mostly opinion-based. It wouldn't be my top pick, but it's up to you. For monitors, using two 144Hz screens doesn't make sense because you wouldn't play games on both (the bezels would overlap). A single larger 144Hz panel or one 144Hz and one 60Hz option would work better. If I were you, I'd choose a 34" UW monitor.

I plan to use two monitors side by side for editing and streaming. It’s not about connecting them for a visual trick, but I’ll go with a 60Hz setup. For optimal thermal performance, I should consider the best thermal paste available. Since I’m running low on stock, I want to ensure the cooling is top-notch. A powerful 800$ processor deserves it—definitely worth investing in.

This setup offers solid RGB options with the included fans and AIO providing decent color coverage. For better airflow, consider the mesh version of this case. You’ll also find several budget-friendly models under $70 that deliver strong airflow—check out the links provided for more choices.

Among these options, the Lian Li Lancool II stands out as my top choice for airflow and heat efficiency.

The LANCOOL II-X ATX Mid Tower Case features a front panel with a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type C port, whereas the Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS ATX AM4 motherboard lacks adequate USB 3.2 Gen 2 or Gen 1 connectors. Consequently, the case's USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type C port cannot be utilized.

Sure, if you're looking after that feature, you'd want a motherboard with extra front panel headers—though it's not essential. I don't usually rely on the USB C port; USB 3.1 or 3.0 works fine for front panel connections. Unless you often need fast data transfers over USB, it really doesn't add much value.

Ugh, seriously?! That budget is huge! With such resources, I think they can assemble a complete setup for under $400 and boost performance beyond what you have. Probably not all the gear is that expensive—maybe some are negotiable or there are better options available.

I’m being honest, RGB could really dent the budget, and it seems you’re focusing more on CPU power. I’d wait for some independent reviews, but a R7 5800(x) should cover most needs, even an R5 5600x might work. Right now I own both R9 3900XT and R7 3800x, and based on what I’ve experienced, unless you’re running very demanding CPU tasks, an 8-core 16-core processor will still perform well. You should weigh style against speed, and your current parts list has improved a lot. What are you thinking about getting for the GPU right now?
