What will this PC be used for?  Any particular reason you are picking a 14900k over an AMD CPU?

Whats your objective with the build and budget price point you're looking to hit?

I would definitely look into a 9800X3D if you are mainly doing gaming. 

The 14900k is very power hungry and runs warm, and is worse for gaming.

This video always impresses me with the 7800X3D vs a 14900k.

slightly better performance at 55-60w power draw vs 200-212w on the 14900k.

The 14900K is a heat producing power hog. Look at a i7 for similar results and keep in mind the difference between a unlocked and locked i7 is 1 - 2 fps on average @ 1080P yet you aren't fighting the power draw and heat with the locked version of that cpu. 3D art says Nvidia. This psu down below is manufactured by Seasonic and this case was released just a few weeks ago and it's killing it in the reviews.

Also do keep in mind that the 14900k has the hardware cpu killing defect. We dont know how it will fare with the bios patches over a longer period of time. Could be fine or could just still be going on but slower.

 

Either way for your usecase rebalancing the build like others did and opting for a better 9800x3d would be my goto. That and well you can invest way less into coolin!
