https://pcpartpicker.com/list/n8X3FZ Here is my build and I wanted your guys opinion on it. I'm new to this PC stuff and don't know much but I've been researching fora while and asked around to finally decide on the parts. I hate messy cables so I found out there are extensions for parts in the PC. I was wondering if you guys can help me with that as well. All suggestions will be greatly appreciated

Only thing Id suggest, at least for right now, is swapping to a B650 or X670 board, seems theres something going on with the BIOS of X870s currently (just from what Ive read and heard, causes higher temps and wattages). You can also get a cheaper 2TB drive if you wanted to save a few bucks extra. Otherwise, looks good, just hate fishbowl cases since you have to buy 400 fans but thats personal preference.

Here is a very strong 2TB SSD I've used that's just about as fast but much cheaper. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/crKKHx/western-digital-black-sn850x-2-tb-m2-2280-pcie-40-x4-nvme-solid-state-drive-wds200t2x0e

Thanks a lot if you have any other suggestions feel free to tell me. Also I was wondering if you knew anything about extension cables and how I could use them.

Extension cables can look cool but they do add extra bulk and cable management complexity. Luckily your choice of Lian li unifans cuts down on cables big time. Your PSU already has solid black cables so I think it will look just as clean without extension cables. I would build it without them and then see if you really care later.
