Newbie PC builder. Please let me know if my build works

I just picked the amd ryzen 7 9800x3d combo deal for a base then went about picking the rest. I’m mostly winging it using google searches. This is what I came up with. I’m planning on using either steamOS or Bazzite. Please let me know how compatible everything is or which parts could be better. Total newb so whatever feedback will be appreciated.

Phew. That’s a relief. Thanks for taking the time to respond. I mostly picked the case because I thought it looked pretty but it’s cool that it’ll help with cable management too. I thought it was probably fine but having someone confirm it was a huge relief.

You’re Welcome. Feel to reach out if you need anything else or want to do a final build list
If you stick with MSI B850 GAMING PLUS there are combo options like this
