what is a good heatsink to buy since it doesn't come with one?
For those asking 13700k v 7900x... While 13700k is actually better in some areas and equal in others, since the Asus mobo it's bundled with is decent (not the msi one!), You will easily be able to upgrade CPU for at least the next 2 gens. Therefore the better deal is 7900x. If it weren't for that, then 13700k.

for nvme, is solidigm P44 Pro good? or just the samsung? I think this samsung costs more than solidigm p44 pro 2tb
Folks, don't fret on nvme.. truly any quality m.2 will be fine.. from 670p to 990p to 850x and equivalent. Save your money for the other parts which add up quickly.. whether be psu, GPU or cooking
If 7900x, remember it's designed to run at near 90c! So investing in more cooling is a waste, so long as you keep it from throttling too fast.
Intel on the other hand will benefit by MORE cooling!
7900x , cool just to keep from throttling
13700k, cool at all times!
I knew a PC "hobbyist" who would go to Frys and Microcenter to buy everything to try and return after trying said item a few days later. He was probably responsible for 90% of the store's open box items.

For air coolers. Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 is cheap and highly rated. Often compared with more expensive coolers.
Deepcool Ak620 is also good.

If you truly not interested in upgrading for 4 years, I personally would go for 13700k then. At certain benchmarking/workloads, it equals 7900x and in others it beats it.
If CPU prices continue falling, then AM5 intrigues because you can theoretically just plop another chip down the road. Intel will maybe get you to 14th gen, but even that is not certain (though likely)
