That looks pretty good. Is your 1 TB SSD an M.2 drive? What types of games are you intending to play on it?

1 TB SSD and M.2 drive would that make any big difference?

The bandwidth of the M.2 drives (generations 3, 4, and 5 all have increasing bandwidth capabilities) is much greater than the bandwidth of an SSD on the SATA bus. So yes, it makes a significant difference. Most people load the operating system (Windows for most of us) on the fastest storage drive, and that means the M.2 drive in most computer builds these days.

You should monitor your CPU and GPU temperatures while gaming to see if they are getting above 70 C. If the CPU is getting a bit warm, I would add a second fan to the CPU cooler. If the GPU is getting a bit warm, perhaps another fan could be mounted in the side panel or in the lower front.

My Ryzen 7 7700X hits 89c at times, depending on how CPU intensive the game is.

My latest build (Wine-Cool) was measured a few weeks ago:
I reviewed the temperatures of the GPU and CPU while at idle and after I had been gaming for a while (playing World of Tanks - Blitz). The temperatures are fine and didn't change as much as I would have expected.
Idle temperatures: GPU = 44 C, CPU = 39 C
gaming temperatures: GPU = 48 C, CPU = 43 C
That's only a 4 C increase for both components. I was using Adrenalin 24.6.1 to monitor the temperatures. I also disabled the integrated graphics in the BIOS so I wouldn't be wasting that power. I will only use the video card for graphics with this machine.

That CPU is getting rather warm at 81.4 C, although it's under quite a load of course.

It got shot? Was that a first person shooter game? I didn't realize the dangers in gaming.

Yes, 2 sparks from my motherboard occurred while playing Spider-Man, but it was my SMPS fault and I fixed it, unusually I gave my motherboard to service center for repairing thinking that it was its defect but that wasn't.

I'm glad you replaced that PSU with a quality unit. I had to look up 'SMPS' to see that it means Switched Mode Power Supply, aka switching power supply.
