I made the following parts list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4ksFHG
Costs 900 USD. I've got 100 dollars extra, what should I upgrade? Or just leave it as is and spend the last hundred on a nicer monitor? This will be a gaming pc. Must be an AMD GPU tho, and the mobo needs to have wifi. Thanks all :)

EDIT: i think imma spend it on case fans. 4 be quiet! SILENT WINGS 4 (3x140mm, 1x120mm) to keep the noise down

EDIT 2: heres the updated list: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/strawbee/saved/rzTCrH

added some case fans, nicer ram, a nicer mobo (the first one didnt have usb gen 2 header, need it for the usb c port on the case). I do plan on getting the 7600 XT rather than the 6700 whenever that releases

how many case fans should i have? the case supports
Front:2 x 120mm / 2 x 140mm
Top:1 x 120mm / 1 x 140mm
Rear:1 x 120mm
according to NZXT's website. I plan to put 140mm where i can as theyll be quieter at the same cfm

At least 2, preferably 4. Have one blowing cool air at the GPU and another pulling hot air out the top or back of the case.

im getting the h5 flow, so im thinking 2 front, one rear, one top? it supports 2 front, 2 top, 1 rear, one bottom. it says the bottom one is angled for gpu but im switching it out anyways

That will work well.
