My only feedback is about your ram choice, but since you didn't post the link to configure, I couldn't check what was available. I would recommend getting a higher frequency than 5600, if possible. 6000 would be the minimum, but if there's higher available, even better.

Not a lot to comment really. If you really have the need for such a machine and have the budget, then go for it!

I think over 32Gb, you can only do 5600MHz, the reason for this is over that tends to cause instability over 32Gb at 6000MHz, Asus are particularly affected.

To be honest though, if you really want full available performance from the 14900k, THE ONLY OPTION is to go with a custom loop build, which for equivalent specs is going to bump up the price by another grand. But even with a 360mm Radiator for the kind of workload you're applying the 14900k will thermal throttle heavily.

The other option is to go for an AMD build with 7950X

But we'd need to know your maximum available budget to be able to give advice.

Didn't know about that limitation on ram quantity x speed, so good to know. Have never researched about such huge amounts of ram anyway 😅

Do you known if asus assures that the motherboard he chose accepts 96gb?

Yes, it does, it now goes up to 192Gb actually.

Fair comment on the RAM............limited budget so dilemma on where to stop.............ideally you are correct of course.
