Hi, I am planning on buying this PC in the next month or two and need help, will these components work together, and any improvements I could make? I am hoping it will last a long time. This is for 2k Gaming, and I am hoping it will give me 120+ FPS on High/Ultra setting, I am fine with lowering some options down a bit.

My main concern is whether everything fits together. I understand that Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE is the best one, but unfortunately, it's not available, so I found these three. All three are within my budget but just. I am not sure which one is the best and it will cool the CPU, will it have any issues? Are there any compatibility issues, like clearance or stuff like that? Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
Motherboard: Asus TUF Gaming B650 Plus Wi-Fi
RAM: ADATA 32GB XPG Lancer Blade DDR5 6000MHz CL30 KIT
Graphics Card: MSI RTX 4070 SUPER Ventus 2X OC 12GB DDR6X Dx12
SSD: Kingston KC3000 2TB NVMe M.2 4.0 7000/7000 MB/s
PSU: Seasonic Focus Gx V3 850W Gold ATX 3.0 Pci-e 5.0
Tower Chassis: Endorfy ARX 700 ARGB + 4x ARGB 140mm Fan
Cooling: BE QUIET! Dark Rock Pro 5 or Arctic Freezer 36 Black or ThermalTake TougHair 710

The Dark Rock Pro 5 is 120 Euros, the ThermalTake is 95 Euros and the Arctic is 41 Euros. This all comes to around 2200 Euros (with the dark rock pro) or around 2300 US Dollars. That's around my budget; maybe I could go 50-100 euros more. Unfortunately, in my country everything is more expensive than outside and this is probably the cheapest I could get it.

Budget (including currency): around 2200 Euros
Country: BiH
Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mainly for gaming newer games like Horizon Forbidden West, Ghost of Tsushima, God of War Ragnarok, CoD, SpiderMan 2, Space Marine 2 etc. etc.

Target FPS doesn't happen with this GPU:
RTX 4070 SUPER

Even RTX 5080 can't to 120+ FPS on 2K;

So, either reduce your target FPS or get better GPU (RTX 4090 or 5090). Especially when you plan to enable Ray Tracing;

Cooling: BE QUIET! Dark Rock Pro 5 or Arctic Freezer 36 Black or ThermalTake TougHair 710

Freezer 36 is capable of cooling 219W while Dark Rock Pro 5 sits at 220W (low noise) or 225W (full tilt). Higher wattage cooling capacity is better.

Didn't find a review of Tt cooler, so, can't tell how well it cools. While Tt cooler is twin tower, the heatsinks themselves are quite thin (less metal).

So, Dark Rock Pro 5 is solid choice.

As far as clearances go, well;
Arctic - 159mm tall; no RAM clearance issues.
Be Quiet! - 168mm tall; RAM clearance 45mm to 65mm (with full 65mm RAM clearance, total height 188mm).
Tt - 165mm tall; RAM clearance up to 48mm (with full RAM clearance, total height 188mm).

Up to 179mm tall CPU cooler is what your PC case can sustain.

Rest of the build looks good.
