For Adobe and video editing in general it is highly recommended to go Nvidia for Cuda suppport.

A few suggestions. The i7-14700K has 4 more efficiency cores than the i7-13700K.

 

Consider faster and less expensive memory.

 

Consider an ATX 3.0 compliant PSU.

Hello... I think you should consider something like this... I went with an all MSI Build. It will be simple to build. Just remember to take the 3 Fans out of the Front of the Case and move them to the Top of the Case and then Mount the 360mm AIO in the Front of the Case. Airflow and Temps will not be an issue. Sure you could go with 14th Gen but for only a 3% increase in Power it's not worth the extra $100. I also got you plenty of Ultra Fast M.2 Storage, 1TB for the OS and other Software and Programs and then a 4TB for Mass Storage of you Games and Content Creations. Please let me know what you think.

 

I have been building PCs for over 30 years so if you have any questions please ask. For future communication I use Discord for much faster response times as I have it open 24/7. Here is my Discord: Wizardsnapper#2772 I am also available if you need help before, during, or after the Build process on Discord through Voice or Video Chat. I can be with you while you build your new PC if you need me to be.
