Question Building new PC, Have a list but what could be better?

[UnFound]

Hello! Wanted to see what others would change about this PC build. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/j7xmfy I have about 2800 and want to build a really good new PC for gaming , and i want to stay with intel/ Nvidia. Any recommended changes to make it better for around the same price would be appreciated in terms of everything like fans etc. I put this together in like 20 minutes from doing what i figured would be good together. Wanted to keep a big case as i want it to be a smooth build with the white.

Updated list from responses: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/YFvtxH as i do still want 64gb ram but want good airflow

The 14900K is a beast to tame and not a cpu I would recommend for gaming. This case down below is a dream to build with, especially if using an AIO not to mention it has far better airflow than those fish tank cases such as the one you have in your build. Replace the 140mm exhaust fan that's included with this case with the 140mm ARGB fan down below for the full effect.

I swapped the 14900K with a 14700KF (very similar in gaming but much easier to cool).
Much faster RAM.
Double the SSD space.
Beefier PSU.
I left the cooler as is, I don't know enough to recommend a good 360mm AIO. Look to other replies for recommendations.

Tip: there are other, significantly cheaper, ways to get Windows keys.

If you can wait a few weeks NVIDIA RTX 5000 series cards will be released.

I use an Intel i7 14700K, which is plenty at 4K gaming and many other tasks. That being said, don't overlook the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D if you plan to primarily game.

If you primarily want a fast CPU for other work or production and gaming secondary, the Intel Core Ultra 7 Processor 265K is a good choice.

I thought about the 5000 series but i just do not want to go through the scalping and waiting months on months phase again lol

If you have a Micro Center within 80 miles of you, it is worth the drive to save money on CPU and motherboard, they have the best prices and they give a further discount on CPU and motherboard combinations. Their GPU prices are usually lower than most other places, including online shopping. RAM is priced to be on par with newegg.com.

I suggest MSI motherboard, and don't be concerned if the word "Gaming" is on the package as it is a marketing gimmick. Don't purchase the most expensive or least expensive motherboard, however something in the $200 zone will be good, such as MSI's MAG Z790 series.

Why do you want to build a really good PC for gaming and not use the best CPU for gaming?
