There have been many changes since my last build 10yrs ago. I swapped out a PSU and it hasn't booted, RIP. I need a new PC anyway and am excited about a new build. These are the parts I have so far. After some review, it looks like I can't seem to find everything on compatibility lists. Are these items compatible? Also, it shows a max capacity of 128 GB on MB but is only 64GB available through DDR5? Thoughts on RAM, GPU, or anything really would be helpful. Thanks, everyone!

Motherboard, case, and CPU certainly appear compatible. I'd guess video card too, but I don't game.

Do you have any particular reason to want DDR 5?

Do you have an over-riding need for more than 32 GB RAM?

I'd start seriously thinking about cooling if you want an i9. Air versus liquid.

Thanks for the input! I will need to do some training video editing soon. Other than that no real reason other than being overpowered. :)

For cooling I am considering either of these:

Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 (BK022)

or

Noctua NH-D15 chromax.Black, Dual-Tower CPU Cooler (140mm, Black)
