Putting together my first MicroATX PC- questions!

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sxzBqd

This is my WIP part list! I have a budget of $2.5-3k for the PC components, excluding all accessories and the monitor. I'm looking to run all kinds of game titles, and watch YouTube, listen to music, and stream while doing so. I am purchasing parts in the USA.

I've manually checked compatibility for all my parts and how they fit in the case. I want to make sure I'm paying for pieces that have good performance, will last a minimum of 3-5 years, and work well together.

I'm a bit nervous about assembling the build as I've never done it before; are there any complications that are foreseeable with what I've chosen to put together? I am a fan of MicroATX builds but hope I can manage all the cables in a smaller space and don't find myself running out of available ports or something.

Other questions: How many fans should I be aiming for? There are two preinstalled in the case and I am not planning on using an AIO cooler (unless I should?)

Are the I/O ports (two USB and one USB-C) on the outside of the case good enough?

Any feedback at all would be awesome! Thanks!
