ADVICE NEEDED: FIRST TIME PC BUYER

[Jonny Boy]

Hey PC folks,
I'm incredibly overwhelmed by this process. Very uncertain about these parts, in particular the case. I read a lot of reviews of the case on Amazon, and lots of them say it came with missing parts. Most importantly people were saying it has small air vents and certain HDD don't fit correctly.
Can I switch out the case with something else? Is there anything specific I should look for? And lemme know your thoughts on this build in general! I want something with a LOT of storage space, and I plan on buying two sets of 32GB RAM.
Thanks! Here's the build below!

The case is pretty much up to you. The PC Builder basically suggests something that's guaranteed to be compatible with a generated build and will also allow for extensibility. Feel free to replace it with any other good option you can find locally

When you're picking the case, just make sure you check the specifications for it like max GPU length supported, HDD/SSD brackets, External ports, etc.

Overall the build looks great. The GPU isn't ideal thanks to the shortages so I suggest swapping that out with a graphics card you can find in your region. Bump up that power supply for some decent future-proofing. Swapping out a PSU is a pain and I'd recommend getting at least 750W. Everything else looks fine to me
