Assembling a PC and looking for input (pcpartpicker.com)

I grabbed a copy of the "High Refresh Rate Build" from PCMasterRace and wanted feedback.

I've not built a new PC in many years and last I heard was the NewEgg was trash and unreliable now. Is it decent again, or is it worth paying more to get it elsewhere?

Also, is there room for more storage? If I bought two of the SSDs, would there be room?

Other components decent?

And, finally, my so wants an RBG case, so any recommendations on one of those that would fit this stuff would be great.

If it’s just for game storage, I would just look for a good price on something from a reputable brand (WD, Kingston, Samsung, TeamGroup, even Sandisk or PNY). The OS will be installed on the nvme drive, and loading times for games won’t be terribly impacted by the different speeds offered by SATA drives as there are other limitations in the loading process. After a quick google search, something like this would work great. The only thing you want to avoid are brands with very little info/reviews or drives with a price that is too good to be true (looking at you, $15 drives on Temu).
