Something like this would perform better for cheaper, a 12900k isn't necessary for just gaming

The h7 flow is a better choice if you like the looks of the h510

The motherboard is suboptimal for the unlocked CPU. A Z690 or Z790 motherboard would be better.

 

Use a 13th gen cpu. The i7-13700KF is a bit better than the i9-12900KF.

 

Instead of the 4TB HDD, go with a 2TB NVMe drive. Much better performance. Additional NVMe drives are easily added when needed.

That 3060 Ti cooler is among the worst according to TechPowerUp, and I'm not sure where you heard a 120mm tower will be sufficient for a 12900K... that configuration would have given you nightmares between the throttling and screaming fans. I am very passionate about shaming spinning rust drives for their drawbacks, so you've been promoted to an equal capacity SSD. For strictly gaming, a 6800 is going to sweep a 3060 Ti and has far more VRAM for years to come. The RM850x is an excellent 850W unit - the one I picked is just a better price right now.

Swapped the CPU for the a 13600k as that will be better for gaming

Cooler with the better and cheaper PA120
Swapped the mobo with a decent z690

Saved on ram

2tb of ssd >4tb hdd

a 6900xt is like a 3090

Pop air is much better case then the h510

The D.F performs the same as the rmx
