In regards to gaming: 5600 > 3800X.  The Focus 2 comes with 2x140mm front intake fans. All that case lacks is a 120mm rear exhaust fan. btw the Corsair CX series psu's are more or less overpriced paperweights that you won't see recommended on a tech site.  I would look at these changes to your build while dropping all those Fractal fans off your list. One other thing .. the newer AMD 5000 series cpu's such as that 5600 down below run cool.  A cheap $20 120mm single tower is more than sufficient for that cpu.

 

Keep your eyes peeled on the reviews and pricing of this card (RTX 4060 Ti).

Though the peerless assassin and burst assassin are superior coolers and the b550m pg riptide is better than the pro4 iirc but similarly priced

The Assassin is a great cooler but looking at your build you're going for the RGB look which that cooler doesn't have. That and the 5600 runs super cool. Now if you wanted an 8 core cpu for streaming purposes the 5700X is the obvious choice and the cooler to use for that cpu (RGB) would be this one down below.

ive changed the cpu to the 7 5700x and the psu to the rm750e and the cooler to the ag500 bk argb, but he wants it to look good so he agreed on keeping the 4x fractal design aspect 12 fans
