tbph, I wouldn't build a PC from scratch in the current economy. Just get a refurbished Dell or Lenovo and slap a low-profile GPU in it and as long as you can still play Ys, you should be good.
Sharkoon's a new one to me. A euro case manufacturer, which makes sense given. Haven't seen one in my locality, but shouldn't be too difficult to source. Lotta models, including some real meme designs (Elite Shark CA700, Rebel C80), but they look to be fairly decent designs -- probably taking a lot of inspiration from other flagship cases (ie: A/MK3 = Fractal Meshify). Didn't see any with any top handles -- I really like handles. Are they priced well?
2024 was sort of a silly year. I recall the 1080Ti benchmarking well during that year, along with 2060 SUPERs. Another good and solid midrange. I imagine you were able to save quite a bit with that selection.
The case was around 30 Euros, I picked the 1080Ti because it was the best GPU in my price range and I don't really care about RT it was the pick for me.
It's not really overclocking in the way that you're thinking, it's a tested profile that the manufacturer manufacturer made and tested the RAM to meet. You actually bought a 6000MT kit, but are running it at a reduced, cross-industry default speed which was decided upon years before the first DDR5 modules were ever manufactured.
I mean, there's not a whole lot of performance difference between 3600MT and 6000MT in most practical use, but you might get faster zip extracts and maybe better consistency in-game.
Some people will say that you're leaving some "free performance" on the table. If you're comfortable with it, there's probably zero downside to enabling EXPO. If anything, it's the CPU that might burn itself (or the motherboard) out -- just make sure you're up to date on your BIOS.

Just to be clear, I'm referring to the rash of CPU/motherboard burnouts that happened about a year ago when the 9800X3D and 9950X3D chips started dropping.
It's an issue separate from RAM profiles, and is specific towards some PBO (which is CPU overclocking) profiles in certain motherboards. ASRock, I think, had the most common issues, while some ASUS boards also got caught up in it. I think it primarily was a problem with 9800X3Ds, but I wouldn't stick a pin in that. Either way, it's pretty much gone away with BIOS updates.
I don't know. It's an expensive computer, and it'd be even more expensive to replace. I an kinda see why you'd want to be cautious about anything overclocking, especially if the machine already meets expectations.
But then again, it's an expensive computer, and you bought an awful lot of headroom...
