I'd take a 4TB HDD for secondary storage. 1TB is pretty small nowadays.

This 3070 Ti is cheaper and has a better cooler. But since we'll save money you can also get a EVGA RTX 3080 or Asus RX 6900 XT.

 

Why not get a 2tb 970 Evo Plus? It's as expensive as the 2 SSD's you listed, same amount of storage but it's faster and a sata drive less means less cables.

 

I don't see any reason to spend €200 on a case. This Corsair 4000D Airflow is just as good and only half the price.

 

The Z690 Tomahawk Wifi is cheaper and just as good.

 

1000w is extremely overkill. Get an RM750x or Formula Gold instead.

 

Also the 12700K is only slightly more expensive, but has an iGPU which could be useful. 

 

And you'll need a CPU cooler.
