This is my first time building a PC. I am building a new PC basically from scratch and am wondering about any thoughts on the build.

I will mainly be using it for gaming, coding, and Virtual machines.

The CPU, MOBO, RAM, and GPU have been bought or are being carried over from my old PC and I will probably be adding more fans.

My main concern is with the CPU cooler. Thanks

get a cheaper cooler, and a SSD. Otherwise it looks good

That cooler is among the best air coolers on the market. Primary consideration, not the best idea to transport your pc around with it attached. Cooling should not be a concern

I saw the i9-10900 cooling video and assumed that the cooling necessary would be similar. The other thing I was considering using would be an AIO. I think I could be hitting the cpu hard as I sometimes run multiple VMs at once and normally allocate at least a core to each and prefer leaving at least a couple of cores for my host.

Here's the link

I was more considering the size and whether I should switch to an AIO. I wouldn't be moving my PC around a lot so i don't think I would have to worry about the cooler moving around.
