High end build to cover it all? Or will something bottleneck

Hi all, appreciate any feedback on the below specs.
I've got a MSI ultra wide 1440 165hz monitor already
My thoughts on drives are 1tb for windows and basic programs
The 4tb for gaming
The ironwolf for backup and old data from current pc.
I play mostly cities skylines, Shapez, timberborn, crust, satisfactory etc but do like to odd driving game from time to time. That's why I went top on CPU but not on the GPU.
Only went 1500w on PSU because I can, and I want the build to be as quiet as possible.

Appreciate any advice or feedback.
Thanks in advance

Gold Level Poster
Case
CORSAIR iCUE 5000X RGB MID TOWER GAMING CASE - You really need a case with very good airflow for a high-end system, The D7 is excellent but aiflow is limited
Processor (CPU)

AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D 12 Core CPU (4.4GHz-5.6GHz/140MB w/3D V-CACHE/AM5) - The ideal would be the 7800x3D as it is "the " gaming CPU but it's out of stock for a month (could be less)
Motherboard

ASUS® TUF GAMING B650-PLUS WIFI (AM5, DDR5, PCIe 4.0, Wi-Fi 6) - Fine for a gaming system, could make a case for an X670 board
Memory (RAM)

32GB Corsair VENGEANCE RGB DDR5 6000MHz (2 x 16GB) - More than enough for gaming uses
Graphics Card

16GB NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 4070 Ti SUPER - HDMI, DP, LHR - The 4080S is a 4k graphics card so have dropped this down to a 1440p card
Graphics Card Support Bracket

NONE (BRACKET INCLUDED AS STANDARD ON 4070 Ti / RX 7700 XT AND ABOVE)
1st M.2 SSD Drive
512GB SOLIDIGM P44 PRO GEN 4 M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD (up to 7000MB/sR, 4700MB/sW) - A smaller Windows drive promotes good housekeeping. Have also dropped the speed as you will get no benefit from the Ultra fast drive.
1st M.2 SSD Drive

4TB CORSAIR CORE XT MP600 NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD (up to 5000 MB/R, 4400 MB/W) - Changed from the Samsung as they have had reliability issues of late. A slower drive is fine for gaming
1st Storage Drive

2TB SEAGATE BARRACUDA SATA-III 3.5" HDD, 6GB/s, 7200RPM, 256MB CACHE - As mentioned above, Ironwolfs are noisy as they are designed for use in servers etc. Would normally just add a 4TB drive but the Seagate on PCS is a slow 5200.

Power Supply
CORSAIR 1200W RMx SHIFT SERIES™ MODULAR 80 PLUS GOLD, ULTRA QUIET - More than enough for your build (I have a 1200w with a 4090 with no issues)

Processor Cooling
CORSAIR iCUE H115i ELITE CAPELLIX XT RGB High Performance CPU Cooler - The quietest cooler PCS provides
