Doesn't look like anything missing but it's definitely not optimized. We can get into that if you like, but I'd definitely pick up a 9070 or 9070 XT over the 7800 XT. I'd also pick up nicer fans than the thermalrights since this is an aesthetic build with a pretty high budget.

I'm very interested, please explain what you mean by optimized.

Also, why the upgrade on the graphics card?

Is there a reason for nicer fans, as in these will not cool properly or just not look as good compareable to the build?

Any advice or critique is appreciated, it is a higher budget build so I'd like to get it right, one and done essentially.

By optimized I mean like cost to performance.

I'd upgrade the graphics card as part of that optimization, the newer cards are better value for money despite being more expensive.

Any fan is better than no fan which is basically the idea behind thermalright fans; they're not pretty, not particularly quiet, nor do they last particularly long, but they cool fine (like all fans) and are cheap.

I appreciate the advice, I'll look into those graphic cards, do you have a fan recommendation?

Probably Arctic p12 Pro. For a fish tank case you're going to want reverse fans for the intake so that you can see the pretty side and not the ugly side. Normally the best value option is to order a case that comes with fans like the Lian Li Vector V100R
