Everything is good but I would recommend getting at least 2tb storage now days but otherwise those r good specs.

Nice man will be a beast of a work and game machine. Not sure if you use 3dmark as a game like me to benchmark and overclock for fun , but highest scores are achieved with a 14900k. Jayz2cents, Linus and splave have videos of recent doing some wild stuff to oc lol. Side note if u can wait Intel dropping a 52 core CPU on a new platform also.

Gigabyte Vanguard Doesn’t Exist, You could probably get a similar tier SSD for a bit cheaper from a different brand. I would get a cheaper AIO (Thermalright) and I recommend the Asrock Steel Legend Z790 which is my favorite Z790 board.

Agree with wolf man. Lot of high end stuff id definitely snag a 2tb at minium.

Good advice on aio. Asus is got some cool looking stuff but normally I overpriced in my opinion. If I had to ball out on one it prob be an artic LF3 . For ref I use geometric future 420mm on i9 13900k with pl1 and 2 set to 300w. Cine R23 hits 86 max. And games in the 50s. It cost me 110usd.
Either way tho if money isn’t an option get what I like the looks of and up that storage bro it’s gonna be killer.
