It's not bad, but I wouldn't. RM750e has inferior caps and fan, even compared to the RM much less the RMx, and is mostly an unknown since there are no reputable reviews of the RM750e at this time. Can't recommend it even though the rest of the RM lineup has been pretty good. I do not recommend power supplies, especially from derivative models by Corsair, without a review. Too many times they've pushed inferior platforms with minor name changes. Won't do it.
The AK620 cooler doesn't seem to perform any better than the AG620, and is basically the same design, but is more expensive. CPU coolers (And everything if we're being honest) seem to be thin pickings and very expensive in the Canadian market right now, even more so than usual. Save 20 bucks and just go with the AG620 for same performance which is more than fine. Hell, I have the same 12700k and my Noctua NH-U14S keeps it quite chilly. I don't see the need for anything more on that CPU so long as you are not overclocking and really there is very little to no reason to overclock on 12th and 13th Gen because the margins are minimal and the headroom is low. These 12th/13th Gen i7 and i9 CPUs are already pushing 99% of what they can without getting into dangerous VT-shift and electromigration scenarios for daily drivers.
While I AM a big fan of Fractal design cases, and own two of them myself including my Define S in use on my main rig, I do not really care for the Pop air, and I wouldn't really call it a "large roomy case that's easy to work in" anyhow. The Corsair 4000D airflow IS that big mid tower that has plenty of good features, lots of room to work and has great airflow with the right configuration of fans and cooling. I've not heard ONE SINGLE bad thing, at all, about this case, and a lot of very good feedback on it. Plus, it's about the same price as the smaller Pop air.
I didn't include exceptionally great case fans, but the Corsair SP's are pretty decent for the price. Again, prices there are sky high. Really decent fans are going to run you in the 25-30 dollar range, each, and while there are benefits to paying that including long term quality, that may not be where you want to sink your money into. Or, you might. Maybe it IS worth it to you in which case we could definitely change the case fans for something higher quality like the Noctua A14 chromax.black.swap fans or even something a little less expensive like the Noctua Redux line.
The motherboard, I too went with a non Z model because as I said there is little to be gained by overclocking the CPU on this generation and for the most part, although there ARE a few differences and features found on Z690 and Z790 that are not on the B760 boards, there aren't that many beneficial features worth paying an additional 50-60 bucks for. If those features, such as more lanes on the Z boards is something you want or need, or maybe more USB ports, etc. we can certainly swap out the boards we've recommended on any of these builds for one of the Z boards but the least expensive Z board I'd recommend is closer to the 290-320 range than these others in the 250-ish range. God motherboard prices have gone through the roof and stayed there if you want something that isn't simply bottom of the barrel or low end chipset.
