Advice appreciated

Hey I'm looking to purchase my first gaming pc so thought id double check with users on here encase im missing anything obvious.
I don't currently own a monitor but ive heard good things about the aoc-q27g3xmnbk so might consider that one but open to suggestions within the £250 range for monitor.

Uses will be primarily gaming with some light office work. Games such as fifa and call of duty and the new gta when it comes out. Might try cyberpunk too.

budget - would rather not go over £1200 for the PC. keep in mind ive already bought a 9070 xt separately so that's why I've selected no gpu below. thats ready to install once ive received the PC. I see people on here recommending the 3xd chips but they just quite expensive right now so i was thinking about upgrading to one of those in a few years time instead once the prices are lower?

You're fine without one of the X3D chips for this build. And your build looks solid. The only change I'd definitely make is the graphics card support bracket: they're not necessary on a card the size of the 9070 XT.

I would suggest maybe tweaking the CPU, however. The 7600X is fine, but for £45ish more you can get the 7700, with two extra cores. I think this would be a worthwhile uplift and might well make it longer until you need to upgrade the CPU.

Okay sure thing. One thing i was wondering is it recommended to increase the amount of case fans or is the default amount it comes with enough? (4 in the 3500x)

The default case fans are fine. You don't have extreme components in it, and you also get two extras on the AIO cooler, so it's six in all, three intake and three exhaust.
