We love you Ukraine
Build looks spot on, very well balanced.

You've got some headroom to spruce it up, specifically the case, cooler, cpu if you wanted to, I would personally definitely up the case to something like the Lian Li as a minimum on that build. Cooler, I'd go for the coolermaster 240 just for quietness, and the cpu, I'd personally push to the 5800x for added futureproofing.
