Hi folks, Im building my very first gaming pc.. transitioning from Macbook after idk how many years. I play most games on PS5 but play others in my computer (like mostly League of Legends, but also some other not that heavy games on steam). I am a programmer (web developer) but usually dont program on my own computer but maybe want to do so...
Here is the build I made after a research... its a bit over my budget (I didn't want to spend more than U$1k ), but thats the best I could do (I chose this thinking in the future, dont want to replace things quickly).
I do want pieces with RGB colours and they need to be in synch, thats why I chose most of the Corsair RBG stuff. I live in Australia, so the prices are a bit different here, but mostly buying from ***NO COMPETITOR MENTIONING PLEASE***, or from another online retailer here).

I already checked for compatibility and seems fine!
Some other questions:
1) In regards to the CPU.. When looking for i7 model12700KF, on ***NO COMPETITOR MENTIONING PLEASE*** , I saw that there are several options and price varies so much... as long as i get the i7 17000KF, they are all the same, right? the difference is only the seller (for this model, I know there are 12700K and 12700F, but im talking about 12700KF) ? (example: compare the one above with this one from Australia (where I live):, are they the same?)
2) The case I loved had 4 other fans, do i really need all of them? i dont want it to be too noisy, so I thought this was the solution? (plus, I am planning on getting the Corsair iCue H100i cooler, as mentioned above, so it will be 7 coolers in total, lol).
Thank you!

Junior
