I would like to go to town on this case with a 140mm-based White setup. Can I get a hand with choosing the fans, AIO, extra cables etc to push it into a piece of Art? :D

I'm looking to go for a White/Light Blue Tron-esque setup for the build, so lots of RGB lighting and fans to push ari around. Motherboard I'm going to be using is the Asus TUF Z890 Pro Wifi, which from my research has the following headers:

Top Edge
CPU_FAN 4-pin​
CPU_OPT 4-pin​
AIO_PUMP 4-pin​
Top Right
1_ARGB Gen 2.1 4-pin​
CPU Area
CHA_FAN1 4-pin​
Bottom Edge
2_ARGB Gen 2.1 4-pin​
3_ARGB Gen 2.1 4-pin​
CHA_FAN2 4-pin​
CHA_FAN3 4-pin​
CHA_FAN4 4-pin​
1_USB2 9-pin​
2_USB2 9-pin​

Other than the board and the Case, I've chosen a few other White items to go in the build as well - Kingston Fury Beast RGB White memory, a Zotac 4080 Super White Trinity card, and a Lian-Li Edge 1KW White PSU.
Frankly, I want to get a bit ridiculous - I don't mind too much on the budget after sobering up over the price of Lian Li Fans, I just want to get it right first time instead of being half-hearted and buying twice.

So what would people recommend? I was thinking a 420 AIO such as the Artic Freezer III, as Lian Li don't do a 420, but then the 360 Galahad II AIO coolers seem to come with the Fan Controller necessary to drive an additional 7 Lian Li TL fans ?

So some general advice on a setup, and any extras I can throw at it to make it look the absolute business please - personal taste notwithstanding :D

Soooo I think this is all I need?

My basket at OcUK:

Total: £534.84 (includes delivery: £0.00)​

The AIO comes with a Lian Li Fan controller hub for the TL Fans, and the 24pin Strimer cable has the controller hub for both the Strimer cables?
 
And in the interests of anyone stumbling across this thread, I cannot recommend this YT channel enough:


There are number of videos on the whole Lian Li eco-system, but one in particular I found useful was:


While this covers the Galahad cooler and SL Fans, there are a whole slew of videos on the the more recent Lian Li items. Definitely worth a watch if your interested.
