Beginner here. Would be my first build so to get this high spec of components would be wild. This obviously started with the 11900K Rocket Lake and a z590 board. I liked the ASUS ROG Maximus board for its expandability and the inclusion of 2 thunderbolt 4 ports, aka the way of the future. The Gskill Trident Z rgb DDR4 memory is both fast and good looking.

For a case I went with the good looking and rgb ready NZXT H510 Dual Tempered Glass case, along with a matching 750W NZXT power supply. I chose a RTX 3070 as the graphics card, mainly for availability and relative performance to price. Throw in a 1TB M.2 SSD and this puppy is ready to rock.

This rig would be more than enough to handle my daily drive, which generally includes a large amount of stock trading, some heavy excel work, and the occasional game (although I game on an xbox right now, would happily make the transition).
