How's this one look?
I won a newegg shuffle for a 3060 RTX (not TI, sadly, but it'll do for now). So, I'm building a PC to go around it, with some room for graphics card upgrade in the event I can get a 3070 TI or better somehow.
There's no budgetary concerns, though I don't want to go much over the build cost now. I have an irrational distaste for AMD CPUs, so stick with Intel if you're going to suggest changes.
This is for light gaming (I'll want to run Flight Simulator at the moment, but also more intense games)

Things I'm not flexible on:
liquid cooled, 360 (or more) mm worth of radiator/fans - current build is a i5-3570K (I think) with 120mm radiator, and I feel it gets a little hot sometimes.
32GB RAM.
Ethernet port is required, wifi is not, though I'd like the option
3 monitor setup - I have a nifty new desk that is just aching for a 3 monitor setup.
Things I'm flexible on:
CPU - i7 or i9, but wiggle room on model #
Motherboard just has to be compatible and able to take a 3090 (even though I have a 3060 coming, if I can GET a better card, I will buy it).
Drive space: Has to be SSD, but size is negotiable. Whatever interface is best.
Thanks for any suggestions!
EDIT:
UserBenchmark says the 10700K is MUCH worse than the 11700K, and the Ryzen 7 5800X is only slightly better than the 10700K.
Revised for AMD:

I have to say, 11700k wouldn't be a bad purchase if the 10700k didn't exist. They're are almost the same and one cost less. Also AMD is pretty much better at everything.

Better to get a PSU in the A tier list. Corsair RM650(or 750)X is my recommendation.
Yep, agree on those two points. Everything else is fine. @OP you are limiting yourself. Get yourself the best product no matter who built it.
Thanks for the input.
11700 vs. 10700 - the 11700 outperforms 107% to 98.7%.
5800X vs. 10700 - the 5700X outperforms 99.5% to 98.7%.
5800X vs. 11700K - The 11700K outperforms 107% to 99.5%.
CONTRADICTING that:
https://www.techspot.com/review/2261-ryzen-5800x-vs-core-11700k-vs-10700k/
Which has some actual games (and says the 10700 is the best for me RIGHT NOW - longer term, the 5800X might be better)
I've updated the OP with an AMD build using the 5800X (and the 3060 I got from Newegg came with a B550 motherboard in a bundle, so I'm saving that PLUS the change in CPU price).

Automod sums it up.
Read that warning that came up for details on why you shouldn't use userbench to compare CPU performance.
Their numbers are heavily Intel biased.
Yeah, I determined the Intel bias after reading the techspot link. I wasn't willing to accept just one source.
