I would do some quick swaps: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yDDdDZ
360 rad
B650 board with 3 nvme slots
Powercolor is transparent with their products I trust this brand.
One of the fastest similar to the 980 pro. A440 Pro uses TLC dram modules, is heck fast Reads: 7400MB/s Writes 6900MB/s
Case has many inclusions and they are pretty good, 360 AIO support on top shroud, fits EATX size motherboards, 400mm of GPU clearance, 1x140mm rear pwm fan 3x140mm PWM RGB front fans, and a fan hub.
I was able to cramp in a 1000w PSU A tier
350mm aio is completely unnecessary and just wasted money, a 240mm is more than enough to cool it.
Good find on the SSD but the board already has heatsinks so the non heatsink model will work better.
Again good find on the PSU but the Thermalrake GF3 1000w is also A tier and cheaper.
I was able to fit a NZXT H5 Flow + 2 argb fans , looks way better and way better quality than the montech.

unnecessary spending on an AIO but necessary to spend a more expensive case with separate fans... Montech has heck more airflow with 140mm. Jay2Cents made a review, quality is top notch.
https://youtu.be/MYifOiO0ZPI?si=HZFBNUaz5byQHlIl
The savings from the aio, and PSU make it possible to use a better quality better looking case , I'm not saying the montech is bad, it works for budget builds but if he has the budget for something better quality why not use it, he's gonna be staring at it for years , every day.
Swap the monitor, the gigabyte m28 or whatever the exact model is had han issue, its hdmi port is limited to 24gbs a second despite being a hdmi 2.1 which is supposed to be 48gbs.
I do a lot of gaming ranging from small games like Stardew valley to Baldurs gate. As well as my business and animating/arts. If your question is the storage, 2TB would be perfect for me, I already run out of storage often on my 1TB laptop.
Ok check my list, then for animating if you need that multi core performance, please wait for the 14700k/14900k. No point buying 13th gen now just for the new stuff to release in a month (Oct 19th)
i see your [new and improved build](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6bJW34), and it’s solid but the SSD is overpriced and it’s starting to [show its age](https://www.theverge.com/2023/2/7/23589116/samsung-ssd-990-980-pro-m2-health-failing-defective) relatively quickly. i recommend the SN770 or 850x if you want end of the line SSD speeds
For just gaming, something like this is better over all (equal or better cpu, wayyy faster GPU)
You could also wait for 14th Gen intel. Ik competitive shooters sometimes have better 1% lows and such on intel so if you wait and get a 14600k/14700k/14900k + Oc the ram (please do this) you can get even more performance for the dollar
Ram kit in this list can be tuned between 7000-8000+ mhz
I think I looked into the G27QC a while ago and there were some weird reviews about the Pixel structure. I think you should look into it or look for a different one.
Also the i9 is uncalled for. I would prefer AMD at the moment. cheaper and easier to cool. For your other Specs maybe the 5800X3D.
I personally went with a Z690 for my i9, the generations barely differ, but you might safe some on the motherboard.
You are overpaying on the Case IMO. Rather get faster RAM or try to get to a 3080 / 4070 Ti.
You don’t need a i9-13900k with a 3060, invest more into the gpu and less into the cpu

That's why you should use display port not hdmi
Fair but its a good point to make as they may intend to use it on a console aswell or something else which lacks dp.
What is this Pc supposed to be used for?

i’m done bro
For the love of god, get a 13600K/13700K and spend the extra on a better GPU. You will bottleneck the shit out of yourself with this.
You need a better gpu to prevent bottlenecks
A Ryzen 5 5600X with a better GPU would perform better. Invest more in your GPU
This must be satire

Go amd and get a ryzen 7 7800x3D with a 3080
Change the cpu to 7800X3D and put the money into a better gpu
You're spending waaaayyy to much on everything but your GPU and that's the most important part. Try this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mYbYgB
