Hi.

Your choices are fine.

There are cheaper white motherboards so mite be worth looking again to make sure your happy.

To note.

The arctic freezer 3 has a thicker radiator than most at 38mm so with a fan in total you need a clearance of 63mm if fitting at the top of your case

First boot on AM5 can take up to 15mins for anything to show on screen and may reboot a few times this is because the motherboard is training the memory so be patient.

That RAM is expensive and CL36 isn't ideal. You should be looking at 6000mhz CL30.

It's white ,RGB ,expo and it's Overclockers anything else C30 that matches that is the g skill which is pre order.

C30 to c36 will be miniscule in terms of performance.

The AF3 may not be compatible with the X870-A unless you remove the top M.2 heatsink.

The Gigabyte X870E aorus pro ice and MSI X870E Edge TI wifi both appear to be compatible if you want a white board and don't want to change the cooler.

Hadn't realised how limited OcUKs stock is. Performance difference is small but I'd still resent paying a premium price for CL36 RAM. For that money you can get the latest CL28 bin.

All I want is a stable system for gaming guys would like a tidy case thats why I like the lian li aio ..

True I don't like overpaying either but if you want to achieve a certain look then it a cost you have to accept.

The lian li looks like it would be compatible as the heatsink it quite small compared to the arctic.
