Hi guys, need y'all! Trying to make it work. I'd like to be more around 3000$CAD before taxes on my build. What would you do different to maximize performance while lowering the cost a bit. I like an esthetic build as it sits on the desk.

Switch out the AIO for an air cooler, use a faster/cheaper 2x24GB RAM kit, choose a cheaper PSU and finally, you need to reconsider your case - it looks great, but you will need more than 6 fans to fill it out with an air cooler.

What air cooler would you recommend?

Gotcha for RAM

Case was more of a place holder for approx. budget. I’m not set on any model as of now

Try this: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/tX6m8Q
It has a crazy overkill PSU, but I noticed that you wanted Platinum 80+
The brand new (2024) NZXT H5 Flow will be easy to build in and easy to look at. Lot's of room for expansion.

Thanks!

The Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE is a good place to start looking and they have an ARGB as well as a black version, depending on your aesthetic.
