Congrats on your new PC! Just a few details. Instead of getting an overkill 1500W PSU, you could get an 850W PSU, no difference for this system. You're getting 9800X3D with a heatsink made for lower TDP CPUs. You will need to upgrade that heatsink soon or underclock the CPU. Otherwise everything is fine. M2_2 does share the bandwith with GPU lanes but your CPU supports up to 24 lanes. GPU will use 16 and M2_1 will use 4. You can still install another SSD to M2_2 and you will be fine unless you install a second GPU. M2_3 and M2_4 are from chipset instead of CPU. You can also enable RAID 0 for extra SSD speed but lower data safety, RAID 1 for data safety if you don't need seperate drives and all that storage.
On BIOS settings, if you enable AMD EXPO instead of Memory Try It! you'll get better and stable speeds.

Silverstone always makes such a fascinating cases, I have plenty of their rack mountable ones myself.
Great build btw!

nice build and that case looks really good!

Thanks a lot for providing a hands-on demo of the case. I think the case is great and it will very likely be my next one. Do you have a comparison to a conventional case w.r.t. to noise? Because the airflow is so good in this one, one should be able to get away with pretty low fan speeds, especially if one installs some bottom fans for the GPU as well. I'm wondering whether the correspondingly lower fan speeds will offset the lack of any sound dampening.

should get an aio liquid cooler much better than a big block of heatsink

The "USB" plugs you had to remove the graphics card for, are not "USB" plugs, but SATA plugs. If I were you, I'd check which sockets you used (SATA 1-6) as it is not uncommon for them to be shared with M.2 (storage media) lanes. The motherboard handbook will detail any sharing / exclusion rules.
