Thoughts on build? (self.buildapc)

Hello all. I'm wanting to build a solid 1440p / 144 hz gaming PC with the ability for hobby level streaming and productivity work. With that in mind , would the following components make sense to meet those needs/wants:

12600k

6700xt

MSI b760 mobo

32 gb of 3600 ddr4

VG27AQL1A monitor

What would you all recommend for the case (assuming my components make sense)? Also what wattage psu should I get since some of the cpus and GPUs run higher than their rating? I'd like to get an even beefier cpu but from what I've read air cooling won't cut it for a lot of them.

6700 XT might be enough or not for 1440p/144hz, depending on what games you'll be playing, make sure to check reputable sites, (e.g. Techspot/Hardware Unboxed for video variant) if your games will play well enough with it.

I'm not really into most AAA stuff that's coming out so that's why I thought it would be enough. Also I'm fine with around 60 fps but I just want the ability to go higher for eSports/competitive stuff (have no qualms dropping settings for a competitive edge lol)

You're good then, 6700XT seems great fit for your use case.
