Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: light productivity, 3A titles and FPS.

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

 

 

is there anything wrong with this build?

 

first time, are there too many fans?

 

anything i could lower without sacrificing performance? (ie, not the cpu or gpu.)

 

thanks.

stuff is cool. stuff that has fancy lighting is cooler. stuff that has fancy lighting and works is the coolest.

I'd switch out that MSI motherboard, it has trouble cooling its VRM's. (Check hardware unboxed's video) If you don't need PCIE gen4 support, nor do you plan on upgrading to the Ryzen 4000 cpu's later this year, the MSI b450 tomahawk is fantastic.

That case comes with 3 fans pre-installed, if you do not plan on overclocking (I assume you don't, as you're sticking with the stock cooler), just buying 1 extra for exhaust (or moving the bottom front mounted fan) will be sufficient.
