I'm building my first PC and could really use some guidance on whether all the components I've picked out are compatible. My current PC isn't performing well anymore, so I'm ready to spend up to $5,000 on this build, which I plan to use for the next decade. I'll be using it for both gaming and productivity, but mainly productivity. Also, I'd love some tips on what else I should keep in mind when building it. I'm aiming for a black aesthetic. Here's the list of parts I'm considering: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HmJZ3w

Are you looking to game or do more productivity tasks with this setup? If gaming is a priority, you might want to tweak your parts a bit. For example, to maximize performance, consider going for a newer graphics card like the 5090 for a future-proof build! Here’s a link to a suggestion I made: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9ZY7Jn.
I’d be doing both, but mostly for productivity.
