Hey everyone!

I'm an offensive cybersecurity professional, so I work extensively with tools like VMware Workstation, VirtualBox, Burp Suite, and Metasploit, and I use a dual-boot setup. My PC is strictly for professional use, especially for penetration testing—no gaming involved.

I'm about to build my first-ever PC (previously I worked on a laptop). After doing my research, here’s the combination I’ve put together:

CPU: Intel Core i5-14600K Raptor Lake 3.5 GHz 14-Core Processor ($235.98 @ Amazon)
CPU Cooler: Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE ARGB 66.17 CFM ($35.90 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: MSI PRO Z790-P WIFI ATX LGA1700 ($189.99 @ Amazon)
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws S5 64 GB (2 x 32 GB) DDR5-5600 CL28 ($184.99 @ Amazon)
SSD: Western Digital Black SN850 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME ($127.99 @ Amazon)
Graphics Card: Gigabyte OC Low Profile GeForce RTX 3050 6GB 6 GB ($171.99 @ Newegg)
Case: NZXT H7 Flow CM-H71FB-01 (2022) ATX Mid Tower ($89.99 @ Best Buy)
Power Supply: Thermaltake Toughpower GF A3 - TT Premium Edition 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX ($109.99 @ Amazon)
Keyboard & Mouse Combo: A4Tech 4200N Wireless

Total: $1146.82
 
Any suggestion for any part would be highly appreciated. And I would love if anyone suggest a suitable monitor (in between 24" to 27") & a UPS.

Thanks in advance.​

UPS, a good quality 1000VA one, will be ok. If a true sine is too expensive for your budget, you could go for a simulated sine UPS.
