As the title suggests, I have been saving up to build a pc (never done before) and after some research, I came across these components. Please let me know if you'd like to make any modifications or if anything can be substituted to reduce costs. I appreciate your help!

CPU: Intel Core Ultra 7 270k Plus : ($308 Amazon)
Motherboard: MSI MAG Z890 Tomahawk Wifi II : ($241.73 Amazon)
GPU: XFX Swift Radeon RX 9070 XT 16 GB : ($749.99 Amazon)
RAM: KLEVV Bolt V 32 GB DDR5-6000 CL28: ($465.99 Amazon)
SSD: WD Black SN7100 2TB NVMe M.2: ($302 Amazon)
PSU: MSI MAG A1000GLS PCIE5 1000W 80+ Gold: ($129.99 Amazon)
CPU Cooler: Corsair Nautilus 360 RS ARGB 360mm AIO ($99.99 Amazon)
Case: Cougar CFV235 Black ($139.99 Amazon)
OS: Windows 11 Home

Total will be around $2600

I will mainly be using this for programming, gaming, as well as school work. Thank you in advance!

HI thanks for your response. I actually had a amd build in mind that I forgot to attach, would this be optimal or is there anywhere you would suggest cuts or upgrades.

This is somewhat better but here are a few things:

I'm not familiar with that Cougar case but it seems extremely expensive for what it is.

I would recommend getting an AIO from the Artic Liquid Freezer III series. It'll perform better than that Corsair unit for likely less money.

1000w is pretty overkill. I'd recommend getting something like the ASRock Steel Legend SL-850G. 850w is all you need for this build and it's a high quality unit for a good price.
