I have been looking into upgrading my PC and this is the parts list I ended up with.

Some notes to go along with this, money is of no concern and I play some games that heavily prefer frequency over core count. I generally don't even use half of the 12 cores I have available now.

The 7700k would be coming from Silicon Lottery and would be delided by them. Cooling is taken care of by a Corsair H110i V2. How bad would the temperature spikes that this CPU experiences be under those circumstances?

I chose a new PSU since I am currently sitting on this Xilence 1000W PSU and after reading a bit about the manufacturer I want to get it out.

I chose the Asus monitor over this slightly cheaper acer model since it offers superior brightness and contrast.

Lastly I am kind of lost on where to put the cooler of the GPU in my Cooler Master HAF932 since it only has a 140mm fan in the back. Could I remove the 230mm on the side panel and put it there or are the tubes long enough so that I could put it into the top?

Also if I forgot anything I will edit it in as needed.
