Hello. :)
Ive been trying to look some stuff up and get a grasp of what Ill going for
looking around at other builds posted and going through the little that i know this is what i have come up with so far.
its not done though.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/CcDF4s

listed is a 16core ryzen 9.
I am fairly comfortable trying to liquid cool the cpu for my 1st time if its recommended, or just in general i know liquid is just more efficient.
i would just need to switch out the noctua fan to a liquid cooling but i didn't know which road to go down once it started asking sizes for the liquid cooler >.<
what do i match the size to?
also, i picked a high rated 3090 gpu that was listed. its possibly overkill, but that would be kind of what i want if it is.
should i go less or more? i dont want to have to upgrade for years so prefer to pay the extra now then later.
also also, am thinking if its necessary to install extra intake/outtake fans on the case, in doing so i couldn't find the dimensions to the fan i would need to buy to fit if anyone could show my this also. thanks :)

i again also, picked a random monitor for now. not too worried about this ATM, mainly just the pc.

any recommendations or changes that anyone would make feel free to throw them my way.
i thank everyone for their helpful comments so far :)

edit

also probs overkill with that power supply but i was trying to compensate for whatever extra fans may be installed plus whatever else. if its too much we can lose some wattage for some other stuff if its necessary

Better GPU for cheaper (could save another 500 going AMD RX6900xt)
Better Monitor for cheaper
Windows is free, you can get a windows key online from amazon for $10-30 US
Also I'd stay Win 10 on Ryzen at least for another 6-12 months
Better storage yes it's more expensive but IMO SSD>HDD any day and worth the price.
Still cheaper this way than your list.

GL and Enjoy your build

sick, it looks like i did fairly well.
i see the switches and like them.
i will go with this list for now, my buy date is still 2 weeks out, cant wait.

my only thoughts are:
1. what are the thoughts on liquid cooling and should i do it to increase the efficiency ?
-guy commented earlier that airflow on a 16core chip may not cut it at that level and maybe a luiquid cooler would be more effective?
lmk
2. should i get extra case fans? and if so, lights will be cool.

and quick question for learning purposes, why is win10 better for ryzen cpu instead of newer releases?

again, thanks for the comment and support :)
ill be keeping close eyes on this thread as the days get closer to make sure its all going to be swell

There where some issues with windows 11supporting Ryzen properly. Not sure if it's fixed. Also I personally like win 10 and don't like the win 11 layout

Going aio would be fine TBH. Get a 240 or 360. Then you don't need extra case fans. Aio comes with 2(240) and 3(360) I would recommend Corsair h150i elite aio. But it's expensive
