Might as well get double the storage here, and that... motherboard is way too much money. I can't see any feasible reason to purchase that.

There are plenty of ways to save some money and still get the same performance out of the parts you picked. I left mostly everything the same but changed the motherboard and the ram, while keeping the rest of the build pretty much what you picked. You don't need a $699 motherboard for a build such as this let alone even a $499 motherboard like others are suggesting. This Gigabyte board has pretty much the same features, and will not have any performance difference compared to those more expensive boards it can handle the 13900KS just fine.

 

I also swapped out the memory, according to some benchmarkers and hardware testers quad channel kits of DDR5 aren't worth the trouble at the moment. Also going 6600mhz compared to 6400mhz isn't worth the extra money. 

 

You could also save some more money going more price to performance on the other parts as well. You've picked a lot of fairly expensive parts you're technically overpaying for. When did you purchase that 2TB Nvme because you got ripped off, you can find similar quality drives for less than $200 all day. If nothing in the list besides the already purchased parts is absolutely critical you have that specific part, and you want the best price to performance system possible we can make that happen. 

 

Also I'd like to know your requirements in  a display before recommending one. I.e. Required resolution, refresh rate, and if color accuracy is a needed a feature.

Thanks for the suggestions, this is an initial part list, I definitely didn't plan on picking the more expensive parts, but wanted to start high and widdle it down if that makes sense. I'm still in the research phase and won't be buying these until June.

 

To answer your question regarding the price I paid for the SSD, it was the week of release and everything was inflated at the time, I also was in europe when I bought them and parts tend to be a lot more expensive over there. You don't want to know what I paid for my 3090

Display requirements - Legible Text for code, high refresh rate for gaming. in an ideal world it would be 144hz+, 4k, HDR10, <4ms latency but I don't see many monitors that support all of that outside of the curved monitors from samsung.

Sounds good, that explains a lot. Europe pricing plus launch day. I feel that. 

 

As for the monitor, It's a little harder to recommend because everybody sees them differently. I'd also recommend looking into a 1440p display. I have a very similar build to the one you are trying to build and I couldn't be happier with it's performance at 1440p. Max settings RTX Ultra, with DLSS off on most games and I'm close to if not hitting or above my 165hz refresh rate. Hell I average 140fps in Cyberpunk at max settings, RTX Psycho, and DLSS off. It's the best resolution in my opinion, text will 100% be clear and legible, plus the performance is top notch while if you compare it side by side to a 4K display the resolution difference isn't all that noticeable. Plus the price is a lot better for higher refresh rates and better panel types. 1440p standard or ultrawide is my preference, even with a system that can push 4K.

 

Here are a few options, if 4K is your goal the monitor recommendations in the previous other two build lists are pretty solid.

 

Samsung 32" 2560x1440p 165hz IPS, 1ms response time, HDR10, with G-Sync: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09Q7NC1RW?ref=emc_p_m_5_i&th=1

 

LG 27" 2560x1440p 144hz Nano IPS, 1ms response time, HDR10, G-Sync Compatible: https://www.amazon.com/LG-27GL850-B-Ultragear-Compatible-Monitor/dp/B07TD94TQF/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=1440p+hdr+monitor&qid=1679937587&refinements=p_89%3AASUS|Dell|LG|SAMSUNG%2Cp_n_feature_fifteen_browse-bin%3A17751808011|17751809011%2Cp_n_feature_eleven_browse-bin%3A17726573011|17726574011|17726576011%2Cp_n_feature_seventeen_browse-bin%3A23506006011&rnid=6676813011&s=pc&sr=1-5

 

ASUS 32" 2560x1440p 170hz IPS, 1ms response time, HDR400, Adaptive Sync(freesync premium): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09HRB9F39?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1

 

There are a lot of options, hell you can go for ultrawide if you want, really up to you on how much you want to spend, the average 4K display with your requirements is going to be $550 plus minimum, high end monitors and ultrawide for both 4K and 1440p are going to be $1000 to $1500 for the really nice ultrawide high refresh displays. Like the Odyssey G9 and OLED G8.
