Need some advice on fans / cooling for my new PC!

Hello guys!
I am planning on building a PC here for the 2nd time and moving over to AMD CPUs this time. My main PC focus is gaming. Here is what I have so far:
CPU: 7800X3D
MOBO: GIGABYTE X870E AORUS ELITE WIFI7
GPU: 4070 TI SUPER
RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000MHZ
PSU: 750W
Cooler: iCUE H150i ELITE LCD XT RGB
Now the main problem I have is my case. It's the Corsair 5000D Airflow. It only comes with 2 fans by default and I went to ensure this PC can keep cool. What fan recommendations do people have that I can add on here? And will PC Specialist install those for me?

Ahhh let me include that information:

Monitor: 1440p 144hz
Budget: Doesn't matter, unlimited
Use case: Gaming
Just to clarify, the main reason for this post is I'm lost on what fans I should buy from here that will work well with my 5000D case since it only comes with 2 as stock.

So if we say £5000 for the PC and then another £2.5k for a suitable monitor?

Let me be more specific. I am looking for fans to add on to my Corsair 5000D case. The budget for the fans doesn't matter to me. That is what I am seeking advice on. I'm unsure what RPM I should be looking at, what sizes I should be looking for, how many I will need etc.
I provided my specs in the original post so it's clear what sort of heat I may be generating.

Is it a PCSpecialist system? If so we’d need the full specs

This suggests you were asking for advice on a new PCS system

We cant advise on individual components as the whole system needs to integrate, changing one component affects others

Yes this is a PC Specialist system. I put the full specs in the original post of what I plan to build from here. The title of the post was about seeking advice on fans / cooling.
Is it not possible to just have some advice on good case fans for a Corsair 5000D? And how many I will need (because only 2 come by default)? That is all I'm looking for here :)

I'm afraid without the full specs, we can't offer any advice

To advise you on fans and then you order an unsuitable build is not something we're comfortable doing.

The fans depends on the components, to have a proper overview of the system, we need the full specs as requested in the link.

I'm afraid not much we can do you if you're not willing to provide the details requested.

I'm unable to post a link with the full specs because the CPU I want is out of stock so it will not let me proceed :)
Is there a workaround to this?

You'll be glad you posted the whole thing, as I can see at least 3 items that are poor choices.
  1. CORSAIR 750W CX SERIES™ CX-750 POWER SUPPLY
  2. 2TB SAMSUNG 990 EVO M.2, PCIe 4.0 & 5.0 NVMe (up to 5000MB/R, 4200MB/W)
  3. ARCTIC MX-4 EXTREME THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY COMPOUND
But to answer the fan question, I can't see any specific mention of fans being included in the white version of that case (the pic shows a black one front & back, but that is for illustration purposes only), but I'd go for the 4 x Corsair RS120 ARGB Fans White to match the case and the case...but if you're aiming for a white build, then you may have to use the Luna/white configurator (or ask PCS to change the AIO to the white version).

1) Hmm strange, the PSU must have reverted. Because I did select the "Corsair 750 RMe Series Modular 80 Plus GOLD ultra quiet"
2) What is wrong with the 990EVO? My current PC has a 2tb and 1tb of the same storage.
3) Is that thermal paste just a waste? I don't plan on adding my own, is the default one good enough?
As for the fans, thank you for the answer. I don't care for style, only performance. I will check out the ones you recommended! I also don't see an option to convert the h150i to white for some reason.
I did ask the sales support people here and they said the specs for the fans are identical to the black case, just not put on the website.
