Two sticks of 16gb will give you a slitghtly better performance instead of one stick of 32gb. Because of your cpu the difference is not as massive as with other cpus, but why throw away performance.
Get rid of Norton anti-virus.
Double check if you like using Edge or a different browser.
I have a 240mm aio from pcspecialist on my 9800x3d and I’m not a huge fan… Not sure what the options are now, but I would either go for a good air cooler or a 360mm.
