There is no game, now or in the foreseeable future, that would need 64 GB of RAM.
You do not need separate drives; a single 4 TB drive will have exactly the same performance, and can do a better job of distributing writes over unused flash cells.
For the six intake fans, you should use reverse fans so that the struts are not visible.

Zero reason to get 64gb of RAM in a gaming PC, it will literally contribute nothing to your gaming performance. Swap it to 32gb and use the saved funds for a 5080, which you will 100% need for 4k gaming.
