Your Monitor Resolution: 2560x1440
Additional Comments: Good cooling, not fussed about noise really, don't care for RGB.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Currently on a 2016 build running 6700k & 1070 gtx
Parts:
Case: Fractal Design Define 7 XL (picked as couldn't find regular size with glass window)
Mobo: ASUS TUF GAMING B650-PLUS WIFI
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D
CPU cooler: Corsair iCUE H150i ELITE CAPELLIX XT - 360mm Liquid Cooler (picked as not many options on the scan 3xs prebuild)
Ram (DDR5): 32GB (2x16GB) Corsair Dominator Titanium RGB 6000MHz (Heard 6000mhz is better for this cpu than 5600mhz)
GFX card: 12GB ASUS GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER DUAL OC, 7168 Cores, 2550MHz Boost, GDDR6X
GFX card bracket - ASUS ROG Herculx, Aura Sync ARGB, 72-128mm Adjustment, Magnetic Spirit Level (Heavy card bend is a thing?)

Fans: 120mm Noctua NF-A12X25 Chromax Black (x3) (case comes with 3, AIO would have 2 or 3, was thinking to do 1 on back as exhaust, 2 in front intake, 3 in the bottom intake & the aio as exhaust on the roof. Is it better to have aio on roof as exhaust or front as intake & do you want more air going into the case or being removed, negative pressure or something?)
OS: Microsoft Windows 11 Pro 64-Bit

Comes to about £2,600 on the above site.
Got a link here as well - https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/P7zZyg (fixed)
Anyway, any of those options overkill, bottlenecking or just unnecessary?
