PC build concerns
Hey, I'm planning to assemble a PC within a 2k budget and have already picked some components. I have a few questions before placing the order. The parts in question - https://pcpartpicker.com/list/YPfBZJ - I'm checking their compatibility and whether they come ready to use without extra setup. I want the system to support both gaming and work tasks, as well as handle graphic design, video editing, and new games. Also, could you suggest any budget-friendly alternatives that offer similar or better performance? Thanks in advance!

The RX 7900 XT might be excessive unless you aim for 4K at maximum settings. With a 1080p or 1440p screen, the RX 7800 XT offers sufficient performance.
You mentioned a $2000 budget, but this build fits comfortably within it.
Selecting the 7800 XT provides ample room for future upgrades.
The i7-13700K runs smoothly at 5.4GHz without overclocking and supports extensive configurations.
A faster RAM package is recommended; 32GB should suffice now, but upgrades are possible.
The board accommodates up to 192GB and includes features like built-in WiFi, robust VRM, and multiple expansion ports.
High temperatures can occur during heavy use, so a 360mm radiator is ideal and fits the case design.
Mounting it on top works well.
If you wish to invest fully in $2000, consider this alternative:

my only adjustment is if the OP wants production and gaming id to go the 7900 non x maybe ..
Just gaming 100% 7800x3d
Maybe the 14700 with the minor clock boost and additional e colors will alter that XD
It's a dead platform.
I still have big hopes for the 14700k, but only as a final stop for an LGA1700 CPU. Personally, I wouldn't invest in Intel this late.
At least AM6 will provide you with 8000, 8000x3d and hopefully 9000, 9000x3d before AM6!
I was expecting the 14700k because I'm in the process—starting with a phone 15 Pro, then maybe going for 13600k.
I plan to use the AK500 digital or a Noctua NH-U12S cooler, so the 14700k might not be an option.
Yes, I like the idea of the 14700k, but only if you have the platform.
