Hi,

the chosen items are compatible. What are you using the computer for?

BerserkGan

I am trying to get a gaming/coding use computer for 4k graphics.

I was wondering, how many fans would I need, is my cooling enough etc, for the gpu and the cpu. Like are there any additional cables or anything I need?

The case you have picked out would have 3 fans, what you have for the processor would be fine, and then the video card would have its own cooling with its fans as well. That should all be fine as-is and you would have room to add more fans if needed. Any necessary cabling should be included with the parts, the only thing you may need is a SATA data cable for the 8TB drive.

Sata cables should come with all motherboards and you will have good thermal paste that comes with the air cooler as well, so you don't need more paste.

For the hard drive, I would recommend one of the WD Black drives or one of the FireCuda drives. Those are CMR as opposed to SMR - CMR drives usually work better for gaming.
