What advice should I get for a new build?
I've never used prebuilt components before, this is my first DIY project. I mostly play MMOs (wow, FX5) and some AAA games with Netflix, Disney, YouTube, etc., in the background. I want to make sure the parts I choose will work or if I need to adjust anything. My goal is to get a stable 120+ high/ultra setting for games. I'm located in Ontario, Canada, near Ottawa if that's useful. Any advice or tips would be appreciated!

A solid construction overall. If I were you, I'd stick with the heatsink and fan setup—like Nocta D15s, since your case has plenty of space. There are fewer failure points there. The pumps do eventually fail, possibly within a few years or sooner, but that's something I wouldn't want to worry about. The 7800X3D handles air cooling well, and games aren't particularly hot during benchmarking.
The 7800X3D performs exceptionally well. A dual tower air cooler is more than adequate for this GPU. Below are some suggestions to explore.
It's good to hear. I only picked the AIO because my current PC has experienced many CPU overheating problems and I don't really like the noise it makes, which could be a problem if I want to keep it quiet.
Great guy 👍
Would like to purchase one for better quality of life, fewer worries about applying paste.
