Improvements?

[Shank_e]

Budget (including currency):  1400 AUD (can be a bit over budget)

Country: Australia

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: 1080p gaming on games such as CSGO, Overwatch, Hoyoverse games, Minecraft with shaders and some other similar style games.

Other details https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/kLBNMC
This is what I have come up with so far. If anyone can suggest any improvements that either reduce the cost/better value for same cost it would be greatly appreciated. I would like to stay on AM5 due to the upgrade path and that's really it. I will be getting a used GPU, currently the 3070 is the cheapest one on the used market but I am not willing to shy from an AMD GPU if it becomes cheaper when I eventually do buy it after saving enough.

750W psu for that build. Air coolers don't work that well with those fish tank cases (basic physics).

It's pretty simple tbh. 

 

Front intake fans + mesh front panel w/fresh air blowing on your components > fish tank case

I don't quite understand that statement, but if you mean a standard case is better, probably.

But that fishtank still has Front intake fans, no ?

You're playing on words, those two fans at the front are front intake fans or start explaining

I don't know what positive reply I can give to this. If anyone has an idea...

Positive answer? It's pretty simple. There are four sides to a PC case. Front, back, and two sides (not including top & bottom). No idea why you continue to post about this tbh.
