Build Planning Help

[xSpaceMan11x]

Budget (including currency): Around $5,000 USD

Country: United States

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Rainbow 6 Siege, Warzone 2, High end games, Solidworks, Siemens NX, Master Cam, Blender, Programing, Photoshop, Lightroom. This is more or less what I want to use it for. 

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): 

First PC build
New job as an Applications Engineer, need a machine that can handle the load
Currently using a Surface Book 2, but it's starting to break and run poorly
Considering AMD for the build because of good reviews
Don't know if AMD or Nvidia is better for the GPU
Don't want and probably don't need the 4000 series Nvidia GPU
Considering the following parts for the build, I don't know how good these ones are (see attached picture for specific parts):
Motherboard
Memory
GPU
Looking at the following cases:
Corsair iCUE 7000X
iCUE 5000T
iCUE 5000X
Want something that looks cool, has good airflow, and has room open to any recommendations
Considering getting two high-end monitors for gaming and work-related purposes, including editing
Already have a keyboard and mouse, but open to any other gadget recommendations.

Intel still holds the consumer CPU crown, so I'd still stick with Intel for now.

13900K faster than 7950X in everything, cooled with EK AIO 360 which looks great and performs well.

I personally wouldn't pick a $700 motherboard, so I just pick a great Z790 board.

SSD, P5 Plus for boot drive and main drive, NV2 2TB for mass storage.

RTX 4090, because you're going to do blender, which AMD GPUs are notoriously suck at due to the lack of CUDA cores. If you only game, I would pick 7900 XTX instead.

RM1000e, high quality PSU, not the highest quality, but certainly very good value.

Case, O11D XL, a very good looking case with great air flow. You may want to add a few more fans, like at least 6 more fans, your own pick.

It's a bit over the top, but given stated case preference and memory selection consider an Intel build. It sticks to Corsair iCUE compatible lighting.

Thank you guys for your suggestion on your pc suggestion. If you guys having any cool pc case recommendation that would be great. I really love the Corsair one but I don't know a lot of pc case companies so want to explore some more. Something that also has good air flow. Thank guys.

Lian-li O11 series is popular and has good airflow options. They also offer more conventional designs like the Lancool series.

 

Fractal Design has a number of series that offer good airflow and looks that appeal to many. Meshify 2, Torrent, and Pop to name a few.

 

Phanteks also offers a number of popular designs with good airflow.
