I'm building my first PC and have already picked out some parts. Here's what I have so far: an NZXT H9 Flow case, an MSI MPG A1000 PSU, a Samsung 990 Pro 1TB SSD, Corsair Vengeance DDR5 RGB RAM (2x16GB), and an NZXT Kraken Elite 360 cooler. I've been collecting these components over the past few months and I'm in no rush to assemble everything. Now, I need recommendations for the remaining parts: a motherboard, CPU, and GPU. I'm considering the ASUS ROG Strix B650-A for the motherboard, but I'm unsure about the CPU and GPU. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Heads up, buying a 1000W PSU without knowing which GPU you're planning to get is a bit odd. Do you have any budget in mind for the remaining parts? That might help narrow down your options!
I think you might want to reconsider the AIO cooler; while it's a nice piece of tech, it can be pricey, and for most people, air coolers do a good enough job without breaking the bank. If you're set on an AIO, maybe look for a more budget-friendly option unless you're planning to run a high-end CPU. For the CPU, I'd recommend at least going with the 7800X3D. As for the GPU, options like the 7800 XT, 9070 XT, or even a 4080 Super or 5070 Ti would pair nicely with your setup.
