Not too shabby for a gaming rig, however, let’s look at the cost…

Memory | TEAMGROUP T-Create Expert 2x16 GB DDR5-6000 CL30 | $84.99 |
Storage | Samsung 990 Pro 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 | $159.99 |
Video Card | Asus DUAL EVO OC GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER | $599.99 |
Case | DIYPC S3-BK-ARGB | $59.97 |
Monitor | HP X27q 27.0" 2560 x 1440 165 Hz | $269.99 |
Total | $1644.98 |
It’s acceptable, for sure. But, let me bring up my value build from a different thread. You might want to revise that build slightly as prices change around on a daily basis, but those two builds should be equivalent in price.
The three things that stick out in your build, are the 12700k Alder Lake (why? Get the 9700X or 245KF for the same money), the liquid cooling (nothing wrong with it, but it is overkill for your build), and perhaps the Z690 Taichi which may or may not be at a good price point. You should only have to pay around $150-$200 for boards of the same chipset and quality.
The 4070 Super is also an okay card. I am more partial towards the 7800 XT myself, similar performance, slightly worse features, ~10-15% less cost. Neither is wrong though.
