• Could someone please have a look at this and tell me if there is an oversight on my end?
• This build is coming up to about 2.1K, anything I can change to bring it down to 2K?
• Not sure about the fans, there seems to be like 3 fan headers on the motherboard, how do I connect 5?
• Any other concerns?

I would recommend not buying 100$+ worth of fans if you are trying to bring the initial price down.

 

I would get a Different SSD, Sabrent has become more reliable than samsung when it comes to gen 4 drives, and often are cheaper.

made this, too lazy to check motherboards, i also dont know much about ryzen 7000 motherboards, by the way you can daisy chain these fans together so you only use 1 motherboard fan header

You'll need to get less fans for the price to drop. The motherboard only can do 3 case fans anyways. You can technically get PWM splitters for more fans, but three fans should be enough. You don't want to compromise any space either.

cut down on the fans like others have said, if you want more than 3 fans buy a splitter, they usually only cost like 10-15 dollars. Buy a 2tb 970 pro evo instead of a 980.

Duly noted. Thanks for the feedback everyone!
