Seems like a solid deal, just need to replace the 16GB ram yourself. +$200 for 32GB from the page is definitely not worth it

The new Intel CPUs can be cooled perfectly fine with good $30-$50 air coolers since they are far more efficient this generation and run cooler than AMD, the flagship Ultra 9 285k runs cooler than a 7600x (big change), but after looking at the default air cooler, I would agree with you. The 'free' air cooler they show is basically a stock cheapo one, not a quality third party one. Since adding the 5070TI requires the PSU upgrade anyways, paying $50 more for an AIO liquid cooler is worth it, as its the same price as a good air cooler and this case looks like it might be less ideal for air coolers in general.

Absolutely. The performance of this machine will probably be higher than you need TBH. It'll do 1440p ultra and 4k, and the CPU will chew through any prosumer workloads. As pointed out elsewhere though, upgrading the RAM to 32GB would be ideal, 16GB is usable but in some scenarios it might be the bottleneck.

I own the steel legend 9070 xt. Solid card for this price. It's the 304 watt card, not the 340w like other overclocked ones. Runs well, looks decent, undevolts decently, ptm750 pad, what more could you want?

FYI this only has two RAM slots. Initially I was going to get 32 GB (2x16), but it was $82.99 and 64 was "only" $139.99... so I decided to just go ahead and go slightly overboard since I didn't want to have to buy all new RAM if I wanted/needed more in a couple years. To Luis - the RAM goes in the slots vertically (put it in straight and press straight down, once on each side, and it will snap in with a clip on each side... a little different than a NVMe SSD that goes in at an angle, then you press it down flat and then screw in.
Do you have the link for the one you ordered for me to order from Amazon?
