Pc Build Advice
So I am building a PC again for the first time in a decade, and for the most part I have everything sorted out.... I think.
First a couple disclaimers
\- Some of the parts I ended up choosing are more for look than anything else.
\- I am planning on trying to go Linux only with this build so I'm avoiding parts that need proprietary software.

Questions:
1. The crucial T710 seems like a steal for the price, what am I missing?
2. I've gone back and forth on Phanteks D30 fans, I like the look but not sure if I'm getting too hung up on their performance.
3. I originally was going to go air cooled with something like the peerless assassin, but changed to an AIO for a cleaner look. But I'm still debating this and looking for outside opinions.
4. The mother board I ended up going with the project zero version for the looks, but this case looks to have decent cable management anyways so I'm not sure if that is just a waste or not.
5. I already have a Corsair Shift PSU ( on sale recently). From what I can tell it should fit just fine, but any one else who has experience with this case that can confirm would be appreciated.
Overall I'm not necessarily looking to spend more, but maybe trim some cost if it seems worth it. And I'm looking to see if I have missed anything glaringly obvious.
Thanks for the help and sorry for the ramble.
