I'm building a new PC with an Intel i7-14700KF and using a Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro Elite cooler. I'm wondering what temperatures I should expect, and if air cooling is sufficient for my setup. I want to avoid overheating, especially during gaming or heavy CPU tasks.

Generally, air cooling like the Dark Rock Pro Elite is good enough for gaming as long as you don’t overclock the CPU too much. Just keep an eye on the temperatures, and you'll be fine.
I don’t plan to overclock, and I'm using 64GB DDR5 at 6600MHz with a 5060 Ti. Should I still be worried?
