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.

As to the last part of your post, for almost the same money you could get Montech's X3 Mesh case with 6 RGB fans included

Or you could save about $20 by going with 16 GB of RAM instead of 32 and swap to the 903 Max instead of the 903 Base, which comes with 3 ARGB fans

If you're not familiar with RGB you might be asking why pay more for seemingly less. The difference is the ones in the 903 Max are addressable, meaning they can be controlled with software on the PC. Whereas with the X3 the RGB is fixed and it looks like you can only turn it on or off, no mention of even having different modes to cycle through.

(This is in addition to whatever differences in the two cases themselves)
