I have a spare 3070 GPU, as well as 16GB of Memory and my friend has a spare PSU, this part list has everything else I would need+everything I already have. Is there anything I should tweak or modify or will this build work, I plan to use it as a headless server.

Thanks for the feedback!

Update:

Use case, I currently run a docker swarm cluster with two older Optiplexes and a raspberry Pi, like I said before, I have a spare PSU, GPU and Memory and would rather put it to work then sell it. I would like to add this new PC to my cluster and utilize it for my home services and also learning. The only items I would really be buying is the case, cpu and board. I would like to run some local AI models on this PC as well.

With this GPU you can install a media server like Plex or Jellyfin and offload the transcoding on the GPU, but mind you you will still have a high idle load consumption.

Normally in a headless home server I would need virtualisation and low idle power consumption. So this GPU and PSU are a bit of an overkill if you are not planning to fully utilise them.
