The only thing that leaps out is why windows pro?

What are you using it for? For most scenario's overclocking Ryzen actually reduces performance.

Other than that it's well balanced, and yes, a definitely beast.

The other thing I'd question is whether, when you're already at the £4k mark, you might consider going for a PCIe gen 4 boot drive. Adding a 500GB 980 Pro would cost you an extra ~€130. It's not an enormous upgrade in terms of performance, but at your budget I wouldn't want anything less than the best...

I'd also spend an extra €20 on the RMx power supply.

I don't know why it didn't post the amendments I had made previously but I have Firecuda PCI 4.0 drives added. Didn't pay enough attention to the RM vs RMx PS, but you're spot on, worth the small upgrade cost. Cheers!

Valid question; BitLocker is a requirement of me using this for work, and they'll reimburse the cost of the OS, so no big deal. Using it for everything - work and gaming. Aiming to get a nice few years out of it.

Makes sense then. Just double checking, some people don’t realise the change they made with windows 10 pro vs previous pro licenses.

It’s a lovely build. RMx is a great shout, it’s a far better PSU than the RM, well spotted @sck451
