The two immediate issues I see are poor case choice (heat box) and under spec’d CPU cooler. For a 12700, I’d be looking at a 240, preferably 280 AIO.

The CPU cooling I thought could be an Issue, The case on the other hand, it has a the look I prefer and I did some research on it, seems fine although there can be airflow issues. I'm unsure of other options in that price range and I'm not a fan of dropping 100plus on RGB shiny cases. I don't like the light show. Open to any off the top of the head suggestions.

The Corsair 4000d is a similar price and doesn’t come with RGB. The Meshify Compact might also suit, albeit a smaller case.
