Budget (including currency): 900$

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: GTA5, Elden Ring, Rocket league Also some streaming and photo editing.

Other details going to be playing at 1080p 144 fps

I would like to stay on LGA 1700 for that upgrade path down the line (if intel keeps supporting it) also willing to switch to AMD if its the more budget friendly option.

No, there's nothing wrong with the compatibility of the components themselves as you chose a motherboard that has pcie 4.0 and a pcie 4.0 m.2, so you'll be utilizing the full potential of the m2 (I've seen people choose a 4.0 and put it in a 3.0 mobo). A great cooler for a great cpu (for that budget). The ram though, I believe you could find dimms with cl16 in 3600mhz for a little bit more money but other than that there's no issue with the build. 

You could go with amd for the same money but that's a choice you'll have to make by searching the differences or just asking an expert. Have fun building!

Budget (including currency): 900$ USD (can go to 1000$ USD but would prefer not to)

Country: United States

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/C6MQQ6 this is my first time configuring a pc so the list could be all over the place the pc will be used for other things apart from gaming like photo and video editing and blender. I would like to stay on LGA 1700 for that upgrade path down the line (if intel keeps supporting it) also willing to switch to AMD if its the more budget friendly option.

I don't see any obvious errors, but I don't have that much experience that would mean there aren't any.

that depends, do you need 32GB? or would you save to get 16GB and maybe bigger or better storage?
