What will the pc be used for ?

 

[Defy Belief]

The PSU, as it won't fit in that case.

That build doesn't make a lot of sense in terms of value for money. I mean £500 for 32GB Ram is just crazy.

The 12700K has the same amount of P-Cores, so unless you need the extra E-Cores then you can save £200+ over the 12900K.

The regular O11 Dynamic fits a standard ATX psu.

The Z690 Tomahawk will do the same thing as the Z690 Hero for half the price. If you want Asus then there are some DDR4 boards for £250+. The Z690-A Gaming Wifi DDR4 for example is still £200 cheaper than the Hero.

A 32GB kit of DDR4 for under £100.

Good AIO and 6 extra case fans. You could go 6 intake and 3 exhaust. If you don't care about RGB then there is a non RGB version for less.

Solid 1000W psu. No need to spend £300+ on one.

Changed the SSD's to 1 x Gen 4 and a Gen 3.

What gpu do you have ?

Overscalpers DDR5 price. Lol worthy, miles cheaper elsewhere when in stock. Some places have the ram in stock when bought as a bundle too.

I personally wouldn't bother with the i9. From everything I've read, the i7 is only marginally behind in benchmarks and is a fair bit easier to cool than the i9.
