Heya,
I could use some help, as I am looking build a PC for the first time in 10 ish years.
I'm looking to convert my current system from a gaming/creative workstation into purely a creative work station and then build a new pc for gaming.
I have a ROG Strix RTX 3080 OC that is ready to go into the new gaming pc, but I need to get everything else.
I have a good 180hz 1440p screen, so high fps 1440p is my goal.
These are the parts I've put together currently.
I lean towards AMD for CPU as that's what's served me well with my workstation.
I went with something that is likely overkill for CPU cooling, but my hopes are to upgrade this PC little by little as time goes on.
PSU is also overkill, but that is because I hope to snag a 2nd hand 4090 within too long, or potentially new 5090 further down the line.
I would probably also need some case fans, but I am unsure which or how many.
I would appreciate any guidance.

Thank you for suggestions.
My reasoning for cooler I picked was partly because of Noctua's reputation for reliability and good noise levels. I am open to other options, but I'll be sitting pretty close to the pc and can be sensitive to noise. I've tried to look up information about the coolers you've mentioned, but I'm struggling to get a good feel for them. I do not care and colour, but I prefer avoiding RGB if I can.
I think you're right. I somehow missed that the torrent came with it's own large set of fans.
