Great build. No glaring issues as such, just one suggestion -

Switch the case to something cheaper and better from the list here (I recommend the Lancool case wholeheartedly): https://www.cgdirector.com/best-smallest-atx-cases/

We're currently updating that list so will be phasing out the NZXT recommendation soon

Cheers for the response! Would definitely consider getting a smaller case!
