Help me choose some parts!
Hi, I'm new to the PC world and wondered if I could get some help on choosing what RAM, Case Fans, and Cooler possibly get.
For RAM I would like to do a DDR5 Ram or would be doing DDR4 but just as good (Size: at least 64GB, or would that be overkill?)l, I would prefer only 2 sticks but if doing 4x16GB is better then please tell me.
I'm not sure at all for case fans, the case I have picked ut right now is "Lancool II Mesh Type C RGB Tempered Glass ATX Mid-Tower Computer Case - Black, I'm not the biggest fan of RGB so any suggestions for fans without RGB would be appreciated.
For the CPU Cooler, I was interested in doing water cooling as I have friends who can help me put that together, is there a certain kit that would be best for the PC, my friend is a little spoiled so he got a new CPU and I am buying his old one off of him which is an i9 129000k
Thank you for any help in advance!!

I advice you to stay with ddr4 platform, ddr5 still has a lot of things to improve. As current, ddr5 with frequency under 5600 is not as good as high clocked ddr4 rams. Only two sticks of 16gb will work fine, for current day you don't need more than 32gb ram unless you're going do some creative works that has a crazy high system requirements.
For fans if you like rgb you just pick the one that looks best, if you want performance then go with Noctua Fans. But if you want the best bang of your bucks, I'd advice you to go with Arctics P12.
For cooler, I'm not very familiar but heard names. If you got the money Rog Strix LC 360 can't go any wrong. But if you want to get the best bang of the buck and are willing to try the traditional dual tower air cooler, I would suggest you to try this beast by thermalright:https://www.amazon.com/Thermalright-Spirit-Aluminium-Heatsink-Technology/dp/B09QWZDB1G(it can handle any cpu under 250w, which includes the heavy loaded 12900k)

Greetings, did you have a specific budget in mind for the parts?

I don't have a particular budget, I kinda wanna see all my options, I guess the best bang for my buck budget.

Thank you so much! I will definitely look into the components you provided!
