What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better.
Multitasking and gaming, three monitor setup, gaming on main screen, wow up on the 2nd to play the AH, movies/browsers on the third.
If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, framerate, game settings)
I don't play the latest AAA high end games, but I do want to run multiple things without any issues
What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?
~$1500
In what country are you purchasing your parts?
US
Any other details?

I originally was looking at an i7-14700kf but had concerns about air cooling.

For cases I was considering an H7 flow but think I'm going with

Any parts here to avoid or any improvements that could be made?

Samsung 990 EVO Plus 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 5.0 X2 NVME Solid State Drive - 129.99
SK Hynix Platinum P41 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive - 129.99
KingSpec XG7000 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive - 96.99
I don't know much about SSDs but I thought the 990 EVO is the best. I found that there are issues reported with the P41 after a few months of use and the XG7000 maybe has controller issues?
Wondering if I'm correct to go with the EVO of it it doesn't really matter and I can save $35 going with the XG7000.

I run 3 monitors and usually have a movie on one screen, play a game on another, and generally a browser in the last, but I'd like to be able to have warcraft up on the third to play the AH while playing a different game on my main monitor.
64GB of ram might be overkill but it's not that expensive and I'll never have to worry about it.
Looking for any feedback from this group, you all usually have great insight.

What's the most important hardware to focus on if I want to run multiple games and once? I like to play the AH on wow so I have it up on one monitor so I can check if I've been undercut and re-up.
I like to play other games on my main monitor and often watch movies on the third.
Between GPU, CPU, and RAM what would be the highest priority? I'm looking to have solid options on all but which should I pump the extra room in my budget into? Or should I spread it out amongst all?

What updates the location on find my device? My last location is showing a parking lot I was in my mother in laws car in. If I get near them will the location update or do I have to reconnect to them? Because that wouldn't be very helpful since I don't know where they are right now.

I much preferred the 3.3.15 and prior UI so much that I was using that version up until about a week ago.
