Over the last few months, I've been scavenging for a 9800x3d and 5070 Ti, and I finally have both parts. The GPU was purchased in a bundle with a PSU (which I'm hoping is good), so those three parts are all "fixed", whereas all of the other parts I am free to pick.
I have a few questions:
Thank you in advance!

I have a few questions:
- Is the motherboard good? I want to purchase a newer AM5 board so I don't have to deal with stuff like flashing BIOS, etc. I'm fine spending <=300 on the motherboard, I just hope it's easy to work with and serves its purpose.
- Is the cooling fine for the case? It is to my knowledge that with the Lion Li O11 Vision Compact, I need to also choose case fans, so I bought a pack of 5 of these Arctic ones. I don't want any fancy RGB, etc, just something sleek and black. Will plugging in 5 different fans be difficult with all the wiring? Further, is the AIO sufficient?
- Is the memory fine? This is G. Skill's new "ultra low latency" memory, which runs at 26 CL. I play a lot of FPS games on low graphics, and I want the best input lag. Will I have compatibility issues with this memory, because it's so "new" and unknown? I'm fairly certain it's the only memory that runs at 26 CAS @ 6000 MHz.
- Any other notes? Is everything compatible/fine?
Thank you in advance!
