First PC build, is it any good? i9-12900KS

[Definitely not BB62]

Budget (including currency): $1000 USD (not very relevant in this case)

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: GTA, Sprocket, AutoCAD Mechanical, Inventor, Fusion360

Other details

- The parts list is linked below

- I don't need any other peripherals

- I'm upgrading from a Ryzen 7 2700X, 32gb DDR4 3000 RAM, and a B350 Krait Gaming MBD, and need to buy it ASAP

 

The budget for this pc isn't straightforward, as I recently obtained an i9-12900KS, EVGA 3070, and a 850w Corsair PSU. My questions concern the motherboard and case.

 

I plan to buy the MSI Z690-A, but wonder if it's worth spending $40 more to get a nicer Gigabyte AORUS Elite AX. Which is better, and why?

 

Case-wise, is the 4000d Airflow enough to keep this setup cool?

Could find a better CPU and a better watercooler. But it really doesn't matter about the motherboard. But if you'd like the nicer looking motherboard so you can take some nice photos. Go ahead. Chances are the motherboard won't have that much of a improvement over the $40 cheaper one other than looks. Corsair charges to much for PSUs I would go thermaltake or EVGA for a PSU

Any recommendations for a better watercooler?

Coolermaster might have a deal on a watercooler- But just look on youtube for reviews.
