Looks fine to me. The only thing is that your case only comes with 2 fans. So you might want to buy a few extra

i put a light amount of research into the case and CPU cooler tbh. i also need to make sure all the dimensions jive together. i'll double check the fan situation. there'sa lot of sweet lookin cases so if i gotta buy extra fans anyway i might look at something like this just cuz it looks sweet

You could get a laptop with a 3070 for that range, or one with a 3060 for like 1000 bucks if you just want something immediately

Otherwise are you planning on upgrading it later?

i'm not super interested in a gaming laptop, but it's something i could consider.

everything i see about the 3070 is that it performs a little less well than the 6800 (besides ray tracing which is barely a thing at this point) and is much less expensive. so in terms of upgrading i kinda just had the idea that in 3-4 years i'll have the freedom to upgrade gpu without much sunk cost if the market is in a good spot.

i guess it's also worth mentioning i have a 1440p 144hz monitor already so that's what i'll be gaming on, and the 6800 performs well at that level.
