My build plan is
Mobo: Z790 Carbon WiFi II
CPU: i9-14900K
GPU: Either 4080 Super or 4070 Ti Super (recommendations accepted)
Ram: 64gb Corsair Dominator Titanium 6400 MT/s CL32
PSU: RMx 1000W 80 Plus Gold
Case: Lian Li O11 Vision Black
CPU Cooler: Lian Li Galahan II LCD SL INF
Storage: 2TB Samsung 990 PRO paired with 8TB Seagate Barracuda

I have already purchased the mobo and case and now I don't know if I should return the mobo for an amd mobo. I prefer intel and nvidia builds but this system is for gaming and cyber security so I want a reliable powerhouse. Thanks in advance.

Ideally you should try keep the issues to just one thread. You've a couple of threads open already, giving you the answer to this question.

Return mobo, and get an AMD system.

You won't have any issues with the 14900 as long as you can update the BIOS. On the other hand, AMD has a better CPU for gaming if that is your primary goal.
