Motherboard shouldn't cost the same as the CPU.  Nor do you need a case that freaking large that doesn;t even come with fans   Plus it's dual chamber.

@Waxn Youve marked as solution already but ill give you a rundown anyway;

 

Better AIO, non rgb for cheaper

 

Motherboard basically the same but more on par with whats necessary and much cheaper

 

RAM 6000CL30, ideal spot for AM5

 

7800XT, big gpu upgrade over 7600XT

 

All the rest the same, There is the option of going for a 5 pack of P12's for 35 quid instead of 5 pure wings individually for 50 quid, would put you under the $1500 mark

Ok, this shows well how looks over performance on a limited budget can cripple a build, with $200 overspent

Yeah, customers always right and all that though i guess

7800x3d + 7900 gre + 32gb 6000c32

 

microcenter 7800x3d bundle takes care of the cpu mobo and rams

 

heres best of all worlds with the aesthetic preferences whilst preserving some semblance of performance albiet slightly overbudget

 

msfs really likes x3d cpus afaik so went for an x3d chip, non x3d bundle is 100$ less

 

between the 7900 gre and the 4070s is pick the gre since its cheaper and now that you can oc the vram it performs abit closer to a 7900 xt

 

psu with a 10 year warranty rather than a warrantyless a-gl that only has a 5 year warranty, definitely worth the 5$ extra

 

doubled storage capacity whilst retaining gen4

 

dithing aesthetics (~200$ worth) would allow you to get a 4070ti super but thats about it so if you feel like youd enjoy the build more with the overpriced o11d knockoff and a needlessly overkill but probably quiet or dead silent aio + fans then theres nothing wrong with getting a cheaper gpu esp since the 7900 gre is still a pretty good card

You want DDR5-6000 CL30 seeing how games benefit from low latency RAM. The 120mm fan goes inside the back of this case for an exhaust fan,
