Hi all. Long time lurker, first time posting. I appreciate this community very much.

This is going to be my build as soon as the components are restocked.
The purpose of this build is all around daily driver, light gaming, light usage of DaVinci Resolve, and several multi-core apps for work.
Ideally would like this PC to last me 6+ years - as my previous build did. Previous build was overclocked 4770K, 16 gigs ram, GTX 760. It is showing its age these days.

I've already purchased the Ncase M1, waiting on the international delivery.

I will do some overclocking if temps permit. I chose air cooling because I travel a bit and I believe it will be safer and easier to travel without liquid in the case.
I chose the ASRock motherboard because of the 3.2 Gen 1 header for the Ncase front I/O.

I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed and the tons of research and brainstorming has me on information overload. Please take a look at my build and let me know what you think. All input welcome. Thanks in advance.

Y-Cables were in the box from almost every noctuafan? U have to check that.

This
4770K, 16 gigs ram, GTX 760
doesnt get hot or take a lot of power.

CPU: best
MB: 2nd best from asrock. Worst board on the market? Phantom gaming z390 was the best, z490 might be better.
Memory: casual kit. I went for 3200 CL14-14-14, 3600 CL15-15-15 or 4000 CL17-17-17
SSD: I dont like sabrent. Western Digtal Black series or samsung 970 series is the way to go.
Video: 2070 Super? Which model? Referenz Edition is not the best buy. Best one is MSI gaming x or gaming z.
PSU: best
Fans: best
Thermal Grease: best

Problem is the heat of the CPU. Underclocking might be necessary. My 9900k is fully custom cooled to prevent throttling on allcore heavy load.

Thanks for your reply.
Ok, some of your suggestions are already things I was considering, so you pushed me to make those changes.

MB: There are very few choices right now. I hope more becomes available soon. I'll keep checking on this.
Memory: I can't find ram that matches both your speed and timing suggestions on PC part picker.
SSD: Changed NVME to Samsung Evo 970.
Video: Yes on my list is reference edition. The MSI Gaming X dimensions don't meet the case requirements. Too big.
I'll skip on the fan Y cables for now. I'll buy them later if I need.
