Looks good if you're going 13th gen might as well use SK Hynix A-Die ram that goes up to 8000MHz, 6000MHz at CL40 is probably slower than DDR4.

The build looks unbalanced to me. High-end CPU and GPU, skimping on the rest.

I would suggest you start with a budget and work around that.

normal SI. they want the main 2 part to advertise only.

Aftershock?
For high end build rather go Sim Lim Square and build one.

cpu intel i9 13900kf
mobo GIGABYTE Z790 AORUS ELITE AX
ram G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB 5600MHz CL36
gpu GIGABYTE RTX4090 GAMING OC
ssd Samsung 980 Pro 1TB
hdd Seagate Barracuda 2TB

psu fsp hydro gold rated psu 80+ 1000w
case CORSAIR ICUE 4000X
COOLER CORSAIR ICUE H150I E


Issue with that configuration it is spec with cheap parts especially Lexar SSD.
Lexar SSD for normal use is fine but for editing and gaming best to get a faster
SSD like Samsung etc.

Take note some motherboard have Wifi+BT so do not get con to pay additional
WIFI+BT card. The only thing I don't have recommendation is the PSU as in market
there are not much Gen 5 PSU.

Better DIY, pay 5k they still cut cost in many part, dishonest seller.

if you get that you will definitely need a lot of servicing

You should indicate the price and builder name/brand for better evaluation.
For Zbrush software, choose an I9 if pairing with rtx4090 in your choice else an I7 with last generation gpu.

Carousell? I won't recommend for high end build go through there.
Rather ask shops like PCthemes, they have WhatsApp you can message for spec.
Delivery wise you can arrange lalamove.
Take note if you really want to buy from any seller especially expensive, make sure they issue receipts.
Some seller don't and it is a red flag cuz any issue they can run away.

Nah it's not from Carousell, more like a manufacturer factory.

Looks good can go ahead but curious which NVME you want to buy for storage?
Samsung 980 pro or 970 EVO Plus, 970 EVO plus will be cheaper than the 980 pro.

Nothing wrong with 1080p monitor, just take your time to audit more 4k monitor as it is a worty investment for a good model when you found one.
