Hello, hardware deities. My old study laptop is overheating up to 95-100 degrees when I start Minesweeper, so I thought about joining the pcmasterrace for a while.
I'm assembling something that should last another 4 to 5 years, but we'll find out. To date, I've compiled this parts list:
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/J4JYfy
The case needs to be spacious enough, I believe, and it seems the PSU should connect directly to the GPU with no adapters. I'm not very familiar with MOBOs, but an ARM5 with Wi-Fi appears to work with most setups, though I might need to update the CPU's BIOS.
Before committing to such a powerful machine, I became a bit cautious about possible errors. After all, I haven't built my own PC before, so if someone more experienced could review it, I'd really appreciate it.
P.S. Additional details – I plan to run at 1440p-144fps+, playing most games online, MMOs, ARPGs (PoE), competitive titles, story games (Cyber2077), Tarkov, and even some programming work. I'm confident this machine will handle it all.

Well, with a 4090 you won't need to upgrade for a while on a 1440p setup. I made several adjustments, mainly to increase storage capacity. Game files are currently growing larger. I also switched the board to an x670 board.

I think combining Amazon and Newegg should work fine.
A sleek, modern air cooler featuring minimal RGB and digital temperature display.
MBO with PCIe 5.0 SSD support for future upgrades.
Currently offers the fastest PCIe 4.0 SSD available.
Case design includes a front panel C-style and simple ARGB lighting.
ATX 3.0 Tier A PSU with a 10-year warranty.
32" QD LED display at 600 nits, 2k resolution—27" 2k looks decent.

You want low profile RAM so that it doesn't impede that dual tower cpu cooler. btw here's a case that's easy to work.
