The 3070 sticks out like a sore thumb. That card is a dog.

 

Nvidia is due to release three new gpu's next month. Look at the reviews of the RTX 4070 Ti Super 16GB.

Ignore the bios warning. You can update the bios on that board without installing your cpu & RAM. Replace the 140mm fan that comes with that case with the 140mm ARGB fan.

Maybe get AIO instead of Tower Cooler for aesthetics, like Corsair iCUE H150i ELITE CAPELLIX XT 65.57 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler  ($219.99 @ Amazon)

 

Or @Why_Me's ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 360 A-RGB 48.8 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler  ($132.99 @ Amazon)
