First Time PC Build with no Experience

I have been a console gamer my entire life and I finally decided it was time to join PC Gaming. Recently, I was gifted a Tower 900 thermaltake case, 32g of RAM (Corsair), a Ryzen 9 5900x with Noctua chroma.black, and a PNY 450gb SSD for helping with moving to and painting a house. I had already bought a motherboard from a friend (asus tuf x570) but I had been putting off buying everything else because of prices. Once I was gifted these new parts, I splashed the cash on a 5070 (shadow 2x) and a NZXT 850w PWS to finish the build (as seen in images 1-2). I had friends and cousins help me with the first build but decided I didn’t like the massive case. So after some thought, I decided I could move the parts and figure out the wiring myself and I’m pretty proud of the job I did. Just wanted to tell my story and show off what I think is a pretty clean first PC build all things considered (images 3-4). The new case is a Corsair iCUE 465x (that I was also gifted) and but the fans are deep cool and not stock so that was fun to figure out.
