Looks like a beast of a system indeed. Assuming you have some more storage to add on as it looks a little light compared to the rest of your build. And you've excluded the bottom section of your build so I'm hoping you've removed Bullguard and added silver warranty for a fiver.

But this beauty should be able to handle anything you throw it at, and I would also love to see some pics when it arrives!

I actually didn't go for the silver warranty, sorry to disappoint!

I've got about 8tb worth of HDD storage sat around so I'm just gonna hook those up once it arrives when I need the space, admittedly I did want the 1TB variant of the samsung nvme drive but it was out of stock when I ordered and I couldn't preorder :(

Graphics card fits by about a cm! So happy with this monster can’t wait to finish work and take in some RTX madness!

Just in case you want to enhance the RGB effects in the case, you can replace the rear fan with the following - 1x Corsair LL120 RGB LED Fan.

I called PCS to replace it for me but you can easily do it at home. It looks even more awesome that way!
