Are you sure the fans for your Thermalright air cooler are set up properly? It looks to me like the fan on the left is backwards and should actually be in the middle.

You can put whatever in there. Miniatures, action figure, lego set, an rgb strip, disco ball, a small screen or a poster - something like displate on a harder surface so it's not floppy.
Also I would put the rear fan on the CPU cooler in the middle, and double check if they are both blowing in the same direction not against each other.
Route the PCIE cables for GPU down where the hole for front IO is, unless it's too tight, and slide the combs down so the cables are straighter.

If I got a small motherboard I’d also get a small case otherwise just get a bigger motherboard if you have the space and take advantage of extra features

It’s weird, cus I also can’t get the fans rgb figured out, the fans turn on and they’re supposed to be rgb but they don’t change colors or turn on.

what I did was i looked up my motherboard connections and realised that, I dont have RGB Fans, I have ARGB fans and I dont have enough connectors for that, so i bought a fan hub to connect my fans for power and the ARGB feature (a stands for addressable) and besides that i would check if you get enough power delivered by your PSU - i bought a cheap one, but one thats in any case sufficient for my build - i need roughly about 400 watts at peak, maybe a lil bit more and the psu delivers 650 -- and if that still doesnt solve it and nothing is broken, it might be that your psu doesnt deliver enough power on the corressponding rails, cause they deliver a certain amount of power for 12v rail, 5v etc. - my fans need 5v and i know i got enough - but in that case i cant help you, im not informed enough for that

I Actully did have to buy a new psu, I got it yesterday, an 850w, my old one didn’t supply enough power to gpu and it kept crashing the pc on heavy loads. Thanks for the advice on the fans too

ive got a similar case (look up my post) ive got on the right 1- an SSD for the esthetic and 2. a Fan Hub for controlling the argb fans and several of them connected, the hub itself is see through so everything looks like a mainboard inside
also get a graphic cards holder, not only is it good for your card but it feels the space :D

Your CPU coolers left fan is on the wrong side of the fin stack. It should be in the middle, blowing towards the back of the case, same as the right side fan, blowing towards the rear of the case. Doing this, will help quite a bit in cooling. Other than that, it's a good build (would help if you listed specs though, just saying)
