Want to make sure I'm not making a fatal mistake for my build before i buy parts

Hi! I'm thinking about building my first pc and after doing some research over like a week or two I made this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8ZL3ZQ . Is there anything here that I'm making a REALLY big mistake on that I should change before I buy the parts?
Also I heard from some people that I should get the 5080 because its more future proof instead of the 5070 ti but it's also 400 dollars more expensive. Should I be seriously considering the 5080 or will a 5070 ti work fine? Thanks for the help in advance!

Also I didn't touch the monitors since I don't keep up with them, but wouldn't one size be better? Especially if you have them both the same orientation (horizontal), maybe not if you have them different (one vertical one horizontal).

I was planning to use the Agon Pro as a main PC (I heard it's hard to find good OLED monitors at 32 in) and then use the Asus TUF as a vertical monitor. I'll take a look at your list though thank you for the help!

Mini LED is a great OLED alternative

Agreed but they’re like nearly the same price at that point might as well just get oled 🥲

Oh for sure just don't have to worry about burn in if a concern. But to be honest I'm still using IPS panel and content.

Based on benchmarks, the Corsair Nautilus liquid cooler handles Ryzen CPUs better than the Arctic Liquid Freezer III pro

going off benchmarks at least for ryzen 7 which is what I'm using doesn't the lian li GAII do much better?

You're right, but I'm a bit skeptical about the long-term reliability of Lian Li. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I feel like Corsair is more durable.

I really wouldn't know 😭 I know they were faulty in the past but I read that they improved their designs a lot and switched the pumps they were using and a lot of other stuff, and they top most charts. And I care about aesthetics a bit too honestly if Im probably going to fork over like 80-90 extra dollars for the lcd version

Yeah, it looks awesome for sure, but I don't know if a 2-degree difference is worth it. I always prioritize reliability. I actually prefer air coolers, but I need to do some PBO tuning on the CPU.

I’d go for the 5070ti and put the extra money towards and OLED monitor. . The market for these has exploded so there’s a lot to choose from. Also prices have gotten much better.

I heard burn in and text readability is a big problem in OLED monitors should I be worried about that? And like for a second monitor should I spend the extra money for an OLED too

It's a good build. The 5080 is only about 15% faster. Generally not worth the extra cost.
You're of course paying extra for aesthetics, but I think you already know that.
Swap the SSD for the Crucial T710. Faster and cheaper.
