Nice choice with the MSI MAG CORELIQUID I240 cooler for that Ryzen 9 9900X — it should keep things running smoothly in the Thermaltake Ceres 500 case.
How do you plan to use this build primarily, and are you aiming for a quiet or performance-focused setup in the Ceres 500 case?
I'm curious about the choice of the 16 GB RAM kit for this build—do you expect it to be sufficient for your intended workload, or might you need to upgrade later?
Considering the intended server/homelab use, have you thought about whether 16 GB of RAM might limit performance down the line, especially with virtualized workloads?
With server/homelab use in mind, are you planning to run this build with a lot of background processes, or will it mostly handle specific tasks? That could affect how useful the 16 GB RAM ends up being.
