Also should I get windows 11 pro, regular windows 11 or windows 10?

If you already bought everything, yeah it's fine. Not worth the effort returning anything and getting something else.

Get it from a key reseller. Windows Pro is usually basically the same price as Windows Home, so you might as well go for Pro. Also Windows 10 keys work on Windows 11 and vice versa so just get whichever is cheaper (more than likely it'll be Windows 10). I'd probably go 11 because of the improved scheduler for Alder Lake, but it's not that big a deal and you'd be fine with either one.

I’ll have 10 fans on it. My question is should I put the aio fans on the side (not the front but right next to it) for intake or leave it at top and make it exhaust?

Ok makes more sense. What's our budget just curious, because these are the some of the most expensive parts you can get.

I already bought the parts listed above they are coming next week. Can’t cancel it too cause it’s shipped. Unless I return it when I get them back but it’s gonna be a hassle.

Wow nice, must have cost you a fortune. You really should have waited until the newer processors come out in Q3 2022.

I can always just switch my motherboard for that right? And I don’t mind using these for the next three years.

Looks like a pretty sick computer. Obviously the correct time to ask for advice is BEFORE you buy stuff, but you'll be ok with what you've chosen.

I don't think that case lets you attach an AIO to the side. I can't see screw holes. Even if you could, you'd be exhausting into a solid wall of aluminium.

 

Probably the top would be best.
