Is this PC build a good idea?

I'm considering buying a PC build that my cousin recommended, which includes an Intel Core i7-14700K processor, MSI MAG Z790 motherboard, ARCTIC Freezer 36 CPU cooler, G.Skill 32 GB DDR5 RAM, a 2 TB Samsung 990 EVO Plus SSD, Sharkoon VK2 housing, and an 850W Seasonic power supply. My cousin isn't a fan of GPUs, but I'm wondering what people think about this build and if I should go for it. Also, if I decide to add a GPU later, what would be a good option?

You might want to think twice about the Intel 13th/14th gen CPUs. They have some issues, and there are definitely better options like the Zen 4 or 5 series. Also, if you're looking for a GPU, depending on what you'll use this PC for, you'll likely need one for gaming and music production.

GamerDude2000: Gotcha! What GPU would you recommend for gaming? I'm also getting back into IT studies soon.
