Hello, I would suggest to take out one of the fan bundles linus tech tips did a good video showing having more than 3 fans is pointless, regarding your PSU I would use that money you gained to get a higher watt PSU, just for more headroom if you plan to overclock but if you don't plan to overclock you should be fine, to save more money you could get an air cooler such as Noctua for less money but better performance, and won't need to worry about leaks or anything even if they are uncommon.

A little more headroom is usually nice, but it's not strictly necessary. A quality 550W is enough. If this were a Radeon VII, I'd feel differently.

Minimum recommended psu is 550w. That's for an average, mediocre type psu. You have a very decent psu, so will be plenty good enough.
