Question advice on a gaming build

Greetings,

my brother asked me to help him build a gaming oriented computer.
there are the parts which where selected unless something bad about them pops up.
cpu: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X
mb: ASUS TUF gaming x570 plus
gpu: GigaByte Radeon VII 16gb hbm2
nvme: Samsung 970 EVO plus NVMe m2 500 gb (mz-v75500)
psu: Antec ea750g pro 90+ gold

there are two missing parts in this build, first the memory, he asks for 32 gb of ram, I'm trying to find a 3200mhz Samsung b-die chips (2x16) but I'm unable to verify.
for example F4-3200C16D-32GTZN, F4-3200C16D-32GTZR or F4-3200C16D-32GVK.
I am able to find kits of smaller sizes which I can confirm are Samsung b-die chips. any ideas about them?

the second missing part is the case, he doesn't want a disco case, the normal black one without window will do the job. here is the issue, most of the cases I can see are mid-atx, as the mb is labeled as atx, will the hw above fit a mid-atx case like Antec VSK-4000B-U3 ATX Mid Tower Black?

Thanks.
 
1. IIRC, b-die memory has CL14 for 3200MHz kit. But it's long before micron and hynix catching up so I might be wrong.

2. Have you checked Fractal Design? Their Define and Meshify lineups are quite elegant.

3. If you want to save a bit money, 3700X is the better value and 5700XT / 2700 Super are more efficient than that Double Precision monster Radeon VII.

according to https://benzhaomin.github.io, F4-3200C16D-32GTZA is Samsung b-die and cl16

Fractal Design cannot be found where I live (not to us)

well, my brother wants a monster to last his as much as possible, the current one lasted 5 years
 
I think an 8-core CPU would be sufficient for the next 5 years, unless he likes to live stream.
An AMD 5700 XT or NV 2070 RTX are better choices than Vega, but he might want to go higher if he doesn't intend to upgrade his GPU for 5 years.
