Work and Play Build

Hi

Havent built a pc in a while, and it feels like I am behind some stuff. That being said, It should be a fun project.

I am looking to build something that I can use for both work (running VMs and GNS3 - work in IT) and of course for gameplay. While i dont specifically want to chase a few extra FPS, I want to future proof the box to last a while.

Hense higher level processor(i7-13700k) and oodles of memory(corsair ddr5-5600 at 64Gb)

I will include a pc parts list below and would love to hear input and opinions about what i choose. Especially in terms of cooling, and which case to use. Also, if I maybe buying more expensive parts and cheaper ones with quality performance ones should be considered (example the m2 flash drive i chose.
