Just getting an opinion, kind of went into not researching much, I know.. 

Should i have done something different? 

I also tried running a 50 ft. cable from my router and I get no internet connection... so the wifi was welcomed.

well the price seems very high considering the specs you ended up with

I like side fans as they add flare where it used to be just chunks of metal. I would recommend some more cable management as the case you have is great for making sure cables are out of sight out of mind lol. I also hope your desk doesn't force the keyboard next to the case unless your mouse if left handed. That would be weird posture having the mouse closer to the body and the keyboard farther away. 

 

If you like the looks and using the parts you chose in the way you want dont mind these criticisms: I wouldnt spend so much on that case if you are not fully utilizing its features as its a massive huge case meant to be filled. single gpu/air cooling combo isnt benefitting from the case. 32GB ram is still alot of gaming and getting faster 16gb kit would be cheaper. The money saved on getting a much cheaper case/ran could have been put towards something else. But thats just IMO so take it with a grain of salt. I am about keeping case simple as I want the parts to shine not the box to look RGB. I also build MATX/ITX watercooling builds. 

Nice build post some more shots of sides and front its pretty snazzy

That was just my budget, I came in way less than that. also didn't post my peripherals. Luckily I ordered in October of 2020 so I got in before the outrageous price increases.

Hmm... I would retract the "excess" cable like the gpu power cable and some other small cable

 

 

And maybe cable managed it more, i see your 24 pin going down and I guess you it was your front panel usb crossing a 24 pin cable going up...

Thanks for the feedback. I Use a controller for gaming so the mouse/key was just pushed aside in the picture. 

Yeah i didnt realize how big the case was going to be.. Its huge but looks great, i wish the gpu had some kind of lights or something to showcase it but might upgrade that sometime next year.

I'm not going to lie, I haven't attempted to clean the cables up yet, I was just so happy when I got to the bios screen that it was an afterthought... just wanted to get it up for gaming ASAP. and i think thats the SATA cable crossing the 24 pin

If it does what you need then its good enough. 

 

With no real information regarding its cost or relative performance there's not much to go off of as far as a "rating". But if it works it works

That's fine, I mean it was "aesthetic" after all, no significant impact if any on performance...

 

Oh and btw, Pretty neat build
