Things that pop out at me
-That case with that many fans is $100+  Case fans often don’t need to have fancy bearings if they’re going to sit horizontal.  There may or may not be money to be saved.

-The motherboard and PSU may or may not be thought well of in the teirlists in the appropriate forum sections.  PSUs and cases are hard to get lately.  One is bulky and the other is heavy and shipping is having limitation issues.
-big cpu for not a whole lot of video card.  Hard to go smaller with cpu in this day and age though if you want to make sure the thing lasts.

 

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

more thoughts:

I might skip the fan pack and only buy it if it turns out thermals aren’t working to my satisfaction.  Fan packs can be a dangerous purchase anyway because of proprietary connector rgb BS.  One needs to do checking.  I’m not personally a super fan of glass side panels because they prevent use of side air which can help GPUs a lot, and I have no personal interest in seeing inside my case 99% of the time

 

Iirc the 510 comes with one or two fans.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

I think I would like seeing into my case.... so drop the fans since the case comes with 2? Thank so much for the help btw!

 

EDIT: With that extra bit I switched the psu out for this one https://pcpartpicker.com/product/R2mxFT/corsair-power-supply-cp9020103na

I’m not the best recaller.  It might.  Maybe check.
