No gaming experience is worth going into debt over.

especially when it will be obsolete in 5 years.

Got everything from best buy because I've had good luck with buying electronics from there recently and I don't want to risk amazon fukking up the delivery for this expensive of an order.

Once everything is ready for pick up I'm gonna build it and hopefully I get everything working on the first try

Looks good but i'd seriously consider getting the same RAM but with CL30. The lower the CAS latency value, the better for RAM. See this: Corsair Vengeance RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory (CMH32GX5M2B6000Z30K) - PCPartPicker

The case is big enough. I have have one that's slighltly smaller and it fit everything with space to spare. See a bunch of pics of the builds that use your case for comparison: https://pcpartpicker.com/builds/by_part/TYMTwP

okay thanks. i also created a thread on buildapc reddit to see what they say.

Oh @Dre Space Age you should also consider getting 2 120mm intake fans for the front of the case to improve airflow. HEre is a build video and review to get you started:

Is it possible to recycle the CPU fam that came with my chip and use that as one of the fans instead? LOL

Nah , get yourself two of these and call it a day. This is what I have on my build, only $10 a piece
