First PC build (plz help)

Budget (including currency):   under $2k

Country:   USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for:   ROBLOX, Minecraft, BeamNG. any future games i may want and possibly a bit of YT

Other details  I'm upgrading from a dying 1050 Ti and a i5-2400 with 20GB of ram, to a...
 

CPUIntel Core i7-11700K 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor

CPU Cooler: Cooler master hyper 212 RGB

Motherboard: Gigabyte Z590 AORUS ULTRA ATX LGA1200 Motherboard

Memory: Corsair Vengeance RGB RT 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 CL16 Memory [x2]

Storage: Crucial P2 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 3.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive [x2]

Graphics Card: MSI VENTUS 3X OC GeForce RTX 3070 Ti 8 GB Video Card

Case: Fractal Design Focus 2 ATX Mid Tower Case

Power Supply: Corsair RM750x (2021) 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply

NZXT AER RGB 2 91.19 CFM 140 mm Fan [x2]

PC Part Picker list

 

I like the looks of all the parts and have done quite a bit of research to make sure I'm not getting anything extremely bad. I might want to add RGB strips to it.

I got 2 1920x1080 displays one is 75htz the other is 165htz.

(this is probably a bit absurd but) I need at least 5 usb for the motherboard, a headphone and mic jack at the front and preferably 2 usb as well.

I'm planning on getting all the parts together at the end of the school year (so around June).

I'm curious if there is anything i should probably go for instead and if I should get a fan controller.

the 11700k is actually getting on and wouldnt be enough for the 3070 ti. For more guidance follow this pc part picker list (and btw the compatibility issue tag is just a bios update) https://pcpartpicker.com/list/p6XCxs

Message me on discord (bread8669) for more help

No offense, but both of these parts list are awful.  Spending $1700 and $2000 respectively for a 3070ti build is insane.  The 3070ti in general is just a really bad value at $700.

To address @filpospecifically:

a) the 11700k is not too sloq for a 3070ti (but it's still a a bad value)

b) use the BB option on PCPartPicker so your lists are easier to read without opening a new tab.

 

@Dat_One_GuyFor what you're upgrading from, and what you wnna do, you can get something much faster for a lot less, or you can get something as fast as what you posted for even less. 

 

For $1580, this would be a lot faster than the list you posted and way faster than any of your games really need:

For $950, this would still be orders of magnitude faster than your current system (about 6x-8x faster fps in most games), and faster than any of your games would need, especially at 1080p.
