I am planning on building my own pc and could use some advice

Hey I have just a few questions

First of all I watched a lot of videos and decided a pc I feel confident I could build but I want to make it unique to me, the case in the video was decent and cheap but blank. I found a case with more fans and it appeals to me more then the other. The sizes of the case are bigger and I would like to know if that’s okay?

Second of all I’m unsure if all the parts I had selected are perfectly compatible together. I think they would be fine but I’d like help deciding.

Third, and last question is; I’d like to budget my pc but don’t know if a lower cost would satisfy the type of pc I’d like to build, the build it’s self isn’t bad on the video which showed it but I feel like some parts were a little different from the ones used in said video and the ones I picked out.

Thank you to anyone taking the time to help and I’d greatly appreciate the help.
 
with cases today on a first build a larger atx case is easy to work with more room for hands and parts. the downside is you may need eps extender cable to go from the power supply under the back of the mb to the eps plug on the mb. most 6-12 inch cables run you about 10-15. if the power supply eps cable itself it too short. with the bigger case if it uses a fan header for the case fans. most of those fans speeds are controlled by a dumb switch (voltage) and not by mb 4 pin fan speed. on your build start with a good 600-650w power supply. go with a boot ssd first and then when you have the funds add a storge hard drive. moving os from one drive to another is not fun. start with one 8g ram stick. when you have the funds add the other 8g. with newer pc with 4 slots on the mb. keep two of the slots open if one bank goes bad you can move the ram to the other bank. if you can wait on the build you may see better cost on gpu at the end of the year if nvidia nad amd drop newer gpu. with intel cpu be carefull they like to change pins out on there cpu to force people to buy newer mb whe na new cpu drop. as there having isue with there small cpu chips there holding them back till end of this year. on your build if you have the funds pick up a faster m2 or newer ssd drive. also put some money into a good cpu cooler.
