PC case : Be quiet 500dx
Monitor : Dell S2721DGFA
Graphics card : RTX 3070ti Aorus Master
Psu : Be quiet 850w straight power 11 platinum
Moba : Aorus z690 ddr 5 Elite Ax or z790 Aorus elite AX
CPU : Intel i5 12600k or i5 13600k
Ram : Vengeance 32gb 5200mhz ddr5
CPU Cooler : Corsair H100i elite.

Please let me know of anything that doesn't seem fitting.

I would definitely swap to a better value PSU. Something like the Corsair RM, or RMx PSUs, or the Seasonic Gold GX PSUs, or EVGA's G series PSUs. Pretty much anything from this list would be a great swap.

What is your budget? Do you need a storage device? What in particular do you like about that case?

If I were to make a similar build, I would do this;

Gigabyte Aorus Elite and Aorus Pro differ slightly.

I think Pro is a bit more expensive?

Be sure to do a side by side feature comparison to weed out the differences that might matter to you.......liquid cooler headers, CMOS facilities, VRM details, etc.

I haven't checked on Z series, but know there are some notable differences on B series boards.

I've already bought the monitor, pc case, cpu cooler.
Here in Greece my be quiet psu is around 180€. I don't think anything is better in that price.
