So im planning to have a pc built, have a micro center about an hour away that can do the job and save me the hassle. Problem is figuring out all the size/space issues, and the old air vs liquid debate for cpu cooling. Looking for input on this list, as well as thoughts on an air cpu cooler or if liquid is really worth it.

I really like the list the only nitpicky thing id change is the case as the one in your list had the psu at the top. I personally prefer mine to sit at the bottom so i picked a different case that also seemed better for airflow. I prefer air cooling as liquid seems too much of a hassle. Maybe one day ill get the courage for it. And everything in your build is black so when you get the cpu cooler make sure to choose the black option to keep it uniform as your current choice is on the grey option! https://pcpartpicker.com/list/N6DtpB

Overall a great build and will knock any game (thats optimized) out of the park for years to come. Im rocking a 3080 with a 5800x and 32gb 4000mhz ddr4 ram and i still so far play every game at max settings at 1440p with two monitors.

Personally, I will only do air cooling from now on.
I've had multiple AIOs fail on me, and if you're aren't overclocking, air cooling is fine,
