looks good, a little on the expensive side, but if you have the money go for it. The only thing is I would get 3600 speed RAM. I think it's almost the same price as 3200, so no real reason to not go for it, even if you are not on AMD.

 

Edit: Sorry, I missed the drive size. Get a bigger nvme and potentialy a hard drive. 1TB should be standard for this price point.

Swap out the cooler for a high end air cooler like an NH D15

Why 3600 if my CPU only supports 2933?

Or is that a stupid question?

 

Edit: Storage is ok for me like this

enabling XMP will get your RAM to the rated speed on a Z490, B560, H510, or Z590 board.

also you really don't need 3600MHZ RAM

Why?
It's louder and more expensive.

I agree, you don't. I am just saying that the 3600 RAM is 15€ more as far as I can tell, so if the goal is the 3000€ setup he started with, it seems like a reasonable investment.

It's intel, barley matters performance wise. DDR5 is coming soon so investment seems kind of worthless imo

And it performs WAYYY better.

Also, its not louder. The AIO has fans too and Noctua is famous for silent fans.
