Case accepts coolers up to 175mm, so no issues on that.

RAM can be touchy. 5600/CL40 is probably compatible. Do you need low profile RAM? Trident isn't low profile as I recall. I assume you need RGB RAM?

Thanks for quick reply.

Not really necessary with RGB ram. I dont need it.

Regarding the Trident Ram I picked them as I read somewhere that The G. Skill Trident Z5 RGB series DDR5 memory is currently best selling desktop memory for ASUS ROG Strix Z690 MB

Could be the best seller; I have no idea. Most "enthusiasts" like RGB on RAM and fans, so that could be a reason if it is best seller.

To save a few bucks, you might look into G.Skill Ripjaws series. No RGB, not as tall. I think Hynix chips like Trident. Hard to say what speed you can get away with. 5600/CL40 certainly should be OK. Some would tell you to gravitate toward maybe 6000/CL36, but it's hardly a big deal...........UNLESS you are benchmark-obsessed.

Corsair Vengeance is another RAM possibility.

I'd probably at least take a look at the memory list for that board. Maybe you have already? Not being on the list isn't a disqualifier at all, but it might give you some ideas.

I beloved patriot the build.

A few caveats.
The ram is some 42mm tall and will conflict with the front fan of the NH-D15:

NH-D15

Built on the basis of the legendary NH-D14 and carrying on its quest for ultimate quiet cooling performance, Noctua’s flagship model NH-D15 is an elite-class dual tower cooler for the highest demands. Its expanded heatpipe layout and two premium grade NF-A15 140mm fans with PWM support for...

A more severe restriction is that the NH-D15 will conflict with the vrm coolers on your particular motherboard:

ASUS ROG Strix Z690-E Gaming D4 | Motherboard Compatibility | Noctua Compatibility Centre

Socket: LGA 1700

Fortunately, both issues can be resolved by using a NH-D15S which is redesigned for high compatibility.

NH-D15S

Tailored to provide superior RAM and PCIe compatibility, the NH-D15S is an asymmetrical single fan version of Noctua’s award-winning flagship model, the NH-D15. Thanks to its asymmetrical design, the NH-D15S clears the top PCIe slot on most µATX and ATX motherboards. At the same time, the single...

A few things stand out. The older Z690 chipset has inferior DDR5 support vs the newer Z790 / B760 boards. The RAM you chose might interfere with most if not all dual tower cpu coolers. If your new PC is geared for strictly productivity work then high latency such as CL40 won't be an issue but if you have any thoughts of gaming I would look for lower latency RAM. Also that Antec case in your link looks to have poor airflow. Look for a case with a front mesh panel. The other thing that stands out is the price vs performance in regards to that Samsung SSD you have chosen. And last is the psu. A 650W psu will run that build of yours ... A 750W psu will allow you to size up on your graphics card and still give you plenty of headroom.

All these components in the links can be found at https://www.computersalg.dk/ . The 120mm Arctic fan goes inside the back of that case for a rear exhaust fan.

For some reason this cpu cooler doesn't show up on PC PartPicker but add it to this build.
