Question Looking for advice on a 4090 build. (Never built a pc before)

I'm looking for some input on my build so far.
I'm set on the GPU, but still looking around for which brand to get. I'm also set on the Ryzen 7 7800x3D, and have picked the motherboard accordingly. I managed to get the MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk whilst it was on sale, and I am able to return it if it's not the best option.

I'm unsure on the case, so any input there would be very helpful. I've also been told that maybe the G.Skill Flare X5 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory would be better for me over the G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory.

Help would be really appreciated, thank you.

What resolution do you play at?
 
I'm currently just at 1080p 144hz, but after building the new PC I'll will be getting either a 1440p 240hz monitor or 4k 144hz.
If you can hold on for now by using the integrated graphics that come with that cpu Nvidia will be releasing the RTX 4080 Super 20GB in January and that card would be the perfect fit imo for super high end gaming at 1440P. That card should retail for $1200.

Pair it up with something like this.

Expect the RTX 4080 Super 20GB to fall in between the RTX 4090 24GB and the RX 7900 XTX 24GB on here.

Low profile RAM so that it doesn't impede that dual tower cpu cooler and a case that's easier to work with.
