I'm putting together a PC and I want your opinions on my build. I've got an RX 9070 XT graphics card paired with an Intel i5 14600K processor on an ASUS Prime Z790-A Gaming WiFi motherboard. For memory, I've got 32GB of Corsair Dominator DDR5 RAM. I'm housing everything in an MSI MPG Velox 100R case and using a Silverstone 360 liquid cooler. I plan to connect it to a 2K ultrawide monitor. Are there any components I should consider changing before everything arrives?

While your build looks solid, some might argue that the i5 14600K isn't the best bang for your buck for gaming compared to the cheaper i5 12400KF, which offers similar performance. Alternatively, consider a Ryzen 7 5800X for better upgrade options in the future. That said, your choices aren't bad if you've landed a good deal on the i5! Just make sure your cooler is up to the task of handling that CPU.
Yeah, good point! I got the 14600K at a really low price, but I'm a bit concerned if the cooling system will manage.
