The Noctua is probably borderline good enough for that CPU (for some reason it's not listed on Noctua's site), it wouldn't hurt to try it first before buying another cooler. If it stays under 80C while gaming then it's sufficient and when you do decide to overclock then buy a new better cooler.

Edit: The reason I say it should be good enough for stock is because it shows that it can handle the i9-10890XE at stock which is a higher TDP CPU.

The onboard audio is a Realtek ALC S1220A. It provides OK sound from what I have read. It is going to be more affected by interference than the Sound Blaster and the amp on the onboard isn't as good. If you aren't an audiophile it is good enough. However, since you already have a card that you like, just keep using it.

Basically your GPU has direct x16 lane to your CPU. That can be split into a couple different setups for SLI, but no modern AAA titles support SLI, or to use a special M.2 expansion. The motherboard also has 2x M.2 slots, one is PCIe only and the other is SATA or PCIe. The PCIe only has a direct x4 connection to the CPU. The other will use either a SATA ports bandwidth or connect via the chipsets x4 link to the CPU. You will want to connect your NVMe SSD into the first slot, that slot also has support for 110mm SSDs so it is easy to differentiate.

If you haven't already purchased your SSD I would suggest a change. There is nothing wrong with the 970 EVO Plus, it is probably the best PCIe 3.0 NVMe SSD right now. My biggest issue with it is the price. You can get a 1TB SSD for about the same money as the Samsung and while the specs say they are slower, your actual usage won't be able to tell the difference. Here are a couple good 1TB drives:

Of these the WD SN550 is the best of the 3.

if i understand it right, the lanes are enough for all the things and are enough in each slot like the M.2 port and PCIEX ports for grafikcard and so on?

thanks for the M2 options for other SSDs
