How attached are you to that Asus motherboard?
The Gigabyte Aorus Elite X WiFi 7 is cheaper and i'll be switched if i can tell in what way it's worse.

The liquid cooler is a waste of money. It will not be neccessary at all. A number of air tower coolers will do the job, including the suggested Dark Rock Pro 5.
Alternatives are the Scythe Mugen 6, Thermalright Peerless Assasin or Phantom Spirit EVO, Noctua NH-D15. There are many.
You can still buy the custom paste if you like, but it's not neccessary.
With memory, you want lower latency (CL) for gaming. CL28, 30 or 32 are acceptable.
You can go with any kit, but watch the latency!
Samsung 990 Pro has speed and durability but that speed is not noticeable 95% of time. You could go with much much cheaper NVMe without risking too much in quality or performance.
But i don't blame you for buying quality. I would suggest you pick a smaller Samsung to be your OS drive, and use another for storage. I picked two 2Tb MP44L drives that are reliable and affordable. You can ditch one to save a bit of money.
Pick any 4070 Ti Super you like. You could opt for a RX 7900GRE and save a bit of money without losing out much on performance. QHD @ 144Hz is 7900GRE's playground.
If you really want a case like that, consider the Antec C8:

140mm white aRGB fans:

(1 rear, 2 side, 3 top or bottom)
I would much rather have a Meshify or Torrent. The Torrent has far better airflow and ventilation.

No comment about your monitor.
you've made a few mistakes and overspent on items that don't improve quality or performance. I would recommend spending on quality. Cheap stuff just doesn't make life better.
That said, there is very little reason to avoid a decent NVMe that is not noticeably slower, or an air cooler that does the job exactly as well as a liquid cooler.
Enjoy your build. Hope the advice is useful.
