hey, I'm actually putting a miniITX build together as well, just waiting for the psu. Just two things worth considering: I went with the same motherboard. Roll the dice on Amazon used, I got a "like new" board that was indeed brand new for $220 2 days ago, it'll save some $$. Not sure where you're planning to keep the box, but if it's near a TV or monitor, the light from the RGB cooler is going to bleed at night. The RGB might be controlled by BeQuiet's RGB software, but that only works on Windows. You can probably install OpenRGB on SteamOS to disable it, but as a new person that's looking for a plug and play solution, it might be a PITA trying to install and configure OpenRGB on an immutable distro. I would spend the extra $20 and get the rgb-free version if you care about any of the above: https://www.amazon.com/quiet-Slightly-Overclocked-High-Speed-Whisper-Quiet/dp/B0FLWQ7D4D?sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY Everything else looks solid, the 240mm aio is plenty for the 9600x, ram is solid, gpu is solid. Hope you enjoy :)
