What's your resolution or is a monitor to be included in the budget?

[Why_Me]

Here's a case with better airflow so that your components don't cook. The 120mm fan goes inside the back of that case for a rear exhaust fan. Use Windows 11 with these Intel 13 gen cpu's.

mostly 1440p, but i might occasionally use 4K. I already have a 1440p monitor and quality accessories so I don't need to factor those in

I will be using mostly 1440p, and already have a decent 165hz HDR monitor. Thank you for the advice I appreciate it.

The ATX boards have a few more PCI slots which aren't always needed.

Thank you. On your recommended build from PC part picker, it notes the Thermalright CPU cooler may require a seperate mounting adapter to fit the MSI B760 motherboard. Would I need to worry about that?

I'm not sure if they are talking about the LGA 1700 bracket or the fact that cooler doesn't fit all boards with large heatsinks due to the fact that cooler is BIG.  Your safe with this cooler.
