I just want to know how it can be improved upon. My friend wants a PC that can perform for years to come without worrying about performance drops. They have also stated that they really like the case and want a lot of RGB in the PC.

No specific reason why really, just seen some videos displaying decent performance for the price but I will definitely be taking a close look at your build. Thanks.
