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