I built a computer ~4 years ago, and just plan on just selling it for whatever I can get and upgrading to an entirely new system from scratch. I was hoping if anyone has any input, as I have only built the one computer before, they would be willing to share it.
Here's the part list:

I know the RAM is probably a bit overkill, however I do work as a software engineer and am considering getting into some light video editing for game play footage.
The PSU I know is overkill, but figure better safe than sorry for any upgrades in the future, not to mention most of the smaller PSU's are on backorder right now.
The 2070 super I plan to more or less be a stopgap until the next Nvidia series comes out hopefully before Christmas (3xxx series?), at which point I'll most likely upgrade to the 3080TI or whatever it ends up being.
The two monitors, I may go ahead and get or wait on for a bit, not entirely decided yet. However the ones in the list are $50 more than the ones im actually looking at on Amazon. Seems to be the same monitor, just cant find the TN version that I see on amazon on part picker. Some input would also be nice on if TN is truly better than IPS for gaming, as from what I could tell the response times on IPS are typically a bit higer.
As for the air cooler, not going to lie I just prefer the simplicity of air cooling, and not having to be paranoid about if a radiator hose springs a leak. Used the same cooler in my current build and haven't had any issues.
Again if anyone has any input on how to make any of these choices better, please let me know.
Thanks!
