The only issue I see is the 1TB SSD. with games like that you're going to run out of space real fast. I'd recommend either adding a second SSD or swapping out that one for a larger one.

Well I'd say it depends upon what you value more. The RX 7800XT beats the 4070 in raw performance at a lower price. But has weaker ray tracing. While the 4070 has slightly less Vram. If your value longevity and any VRAM intensive work (I.E. photo editing etc) then go with the 7800. If its just gaming and you want that ray tracing then go with the 4070

MB, go with the B650. Hands down.

For the RAM, check out Corsair Vengeance DDR5-600CL30

SSD, I always prefer Crucial. They have the best price to performance IMO.

PSU, If cable management is important to you then I'd got with the Corsair RM750x Its fully modular and rock solid.

What monitor refresh rate and streaming/recording settings (resolution, framerate, encoder) do you plan to use, and do you intend to overclock or upgrade to a significantly higher-power GPU soon?

I’ll mostly be gaming on a 1440p 165Hz monitor, aiming to get as close to that refresh rate as possible in newer titles. For streaming, I’d probably keep it at 1080p60 to start, using NVENC rather than CPU encoding. I don’t plan on overclocking right away, but I’d like to keep the option down the line. As for GPU upgrades, I could see myself moving up to something like a 4080 Super or equivalent in a few years, but nothing crazy beyond that.

Great!! Thanks for clearing that up.

Everything looks generally solid and compatible. Your CPU, cooler, motherboard, RAM, and case all pair well together, and the Arctic Liquid Freezer III should handle the i5-13600K even if you decide to overclock later.

Your PSU, the Corsair RM750x, should be plenty for this build with the RTX 4070 Super and leaves a bit of headroom for a future upgrade to something like a 4080-class card, though if you plan to push beyond that, you might want to consider an 850W unit for extra overhead.

For your use case this setup should perform very well. The 4070 Super is strong for 1440p, but if you’re looking for alternatives at similar price points, the RX 7800 XT or even a lightly discounted 4070 Ti could be worth considering depending on current deals.

Overall, I’d say you’re in good shape. Just double-check clearance in your O11 Dynamic Evo for the 280mm AIO and the GPU length, but it should fit fine.

Hope this helps!

Hey, nice first build! Everything looks compatible. Your i5-13600K and MSI Z690-A DDR5 combo is solid, but the motherboard might need a BIOS update for the 13th Gen CPU.

32GB RAM is more than enough for gaming and great for future-proofing. The Peerless Assassin cooler is decent, but if you push the CPU hard, I might consider a stronger cooler like the Noctua NH-D15 or be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4. If you are more into aesthetics and efficient cooling in a compact form factor, the Corsair iCUE H150i Elite Capellix or NZXT Kraken Z73 RGB. I added some links to possible coolers below. Your RX 7800 XT is perfect for 1440p gaming, and the Lian Li Lancool 216 has great airflow. PSU and storage are both solid choices.

It looks like you are almost good to go!
