New Velox Build

This will be my third computer from Digital Storm, and beside a few minor issues the pc's have been rock solid. I tend to keep my computers for a long time and mostly game at 1440p, but I wouldn't mind considering 4k with the new rig.

A couple of questions:

1) I know the 14900K and the 4900 PSU are power hungry, will the 1000 PSU enough head room, or should I consider the 1500 PSU (I know this is over kill but there doesn't seem to be a mid-range option).

2) Cooling: On the first rig I went with the Noctua air cooler, but I had issues with it shipping and not being broken. I see that DS has brought it back, have they solved the damaged shipping issues? I prefer air cooled, but my second rig has the AIO cooler, if not do I need the Stage 2 AIO or Stage 3 (3 fans)?

3) Fans: When I originally purchased my second pc, I upgraded the fans to Corsair ML PRO Series for better airflow. I don't see those as an option, do I need better fans over the existing standard chassis fans?

Thanks for your help!

Probably going to switch to the AMD 7800x3d since it's only for gaming and based on the reviews will perform better at less heat/power.

Agree. The 14900K is a total waste of unneeded power. You should look at this and do some reading. IMHO, the 14600KF is your CPU for the next 5+ years.

Just 6% less for gaming than the top proc? This is not the i5 as we have known it before. CPUs are so far out in front of gaming, it's ridiculous. And they will stay there for years.
