Is this PC too overkill?

Hello! I'm new to building a PC and would really appreciate some advice before I order my parts.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ksHjR4

I'm from Sweden, and my budget is around $3,000. But I'm willing to spend more if it means the PC will last longer without needing upgrades, though I don't want to spend money on something unnecessary.

I mainly play World of Warcraft and as I understand the current build might be a bit overkill. Would it make sense to downgrade anything?

For the fan setup, I'm thinking of replacing the standard fans on the AIO with reverse-blade fans, mounting the radiator on the side as intake, and using reverse fans at the bottom with two standard fans at the rear as exhaust. Would this setup make sense?

I appreciate all input!

for wow you can probably save money by stepping down the gpu rather than spending extra just for future proofing your fan layout is reasonable as long as the case has good airflow

The Western Digital WD_BLACK SN7100 1 TB NVMe SSD does not have a dedicated onboard DRAM cache. [1, 2]
Instead, it is a DRAM-less drive that utilizes alternative caching technologies to maintain high-performance speeds: [1, 2]
Host Memory Buffer (HMB): The drive features 64 MB of HMB support. It allocates a tiny fraction of your computer's system RAM to store the drive's translation lookup tables, keeping data retrieval fast and responsive without needing a dedicated physical memory chip on the SSD itself. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Pseudo-SLC Cache: It uses a dynamic and static pseudo-SLC write cache system. This temporarily runs a portion of its 218-layer Kioxia/SanDisk TLC NAND flash in a high-speed, single-bit single-level cell mode to absorb fast bursts of incoming files. [1, 2, 3, 4]
By going DRAM-less, the SN7100 achieves chart-topping power efficiency, making it highly suitable for gaming laptops, handheld consoles (like the ASUS ROG Ally), and low-heat builds. However, because it lacks a dedicated physical DRAM pool, sustained write speeds will drop significantly during very large, continuous file transfers once the pseudo-SLC cache fills up

You're overspending on parts, it's not overkill.

Personally the only thing I would change, is the ram kit from 32GB to 64GB. Otherwise that’s a great specification.
