Budget (including currency): 1500euros

Country: Austria

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: games ,coding and some design

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

I've got a 144hz monitor and want to play games at 1080p or 1440p.

Not a bad parts list. There are only a couple things I'd suggest changing, though if you build this system as is I'd be fine with it. 

1. The motherboard - the Gigabyte B660 Gaming X is a very similar board VRM wise but has better IO and is 10 Euros less. 
2. I'd spend the money on a better 2TB SSD instead of 2 SN570s. NVMe RAID is a nightmare to setup, so doing either RAID 0 (performance) or RAID 1 (mirrored drives) isn't gonna be fun, and getting a better drive would end up with a better 2TB drive would get most of the benefits of both without having to deal with the headache of NVMe RAID. 
3. It's 5 Euros more to get a fully modular PSU, it's a nice quality of life improvement that I'd say is worth the price difference.

Possible but not likely, LGA 1700 has been out long enough that most coolers you buy will have the proper mounting hardware in the box, but if you get unlucky with one that's been sitting on a shelf for a year then you'll need to email Arctic and they'll ship you one. I wouldn't worry about it, if you do get unlucky the 12400 comes with a stock cooler so you can just use that while you wait for the new mounting hardware to arrive.

It's not a bad idea, the 6700 XT is 200 euros less and isn't that much slower, but I can understand wanting a 3070 instead for its better drivers, CUDA support, and just being a faster card all around.

6700XT makes sense if the price gap is 200€:s. Save that 200€ or spend it on a better cpu like 12700f.
