Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Warzone, video editing, streaming

 

First build, know that some of the choices are unethical, but i like the way they look in other builds. What do you think? ***going with the i7-10700, z490 mobo, and a cd key for the OS***

The 9700K and Z390 should be swapped out for an 11600K and Z590

The case is a hotbox and should be swapped out for a Phanteks P360A

Big nerd.

im going with a 10700 and a z490, partpicker just doesnt have those models in their database

Don't combine a non-K SKU with a Z mobo. You're just throwing money away. The only point to the Z series is overclocking, which you can't do with that CPU.

There's nothing by NZXT that you should ever buy. The cases suck and are absolute hotboxes, the AIO's have poor fan design and/or OLED burn-in issues (depending on model), and their motherboards are mediocre in comparison to the competition.
