I recently finished building a dream PC setup and wanted to go with an all-white theme. I put together my components, which you can see here: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/n6tBBq. In total, I spent about $4000, including peripherals and my desk. I know I might have spent a bit more because of the theme—especially since I couldn't find some white items like RAM. For reference, the base cost was around $3000. I'm curious, though: is this overspending for what I built?

Honestly, spending $2600 on just the PC part doesn't seem that great for a system with a 9070 XT. You could've gone with cheaper parts and still gotten a solid performance—like a 9800X3D paired with a 5080 for around $600 less. So, it looks like you paid a premium for that all-white look. But hey, it’s your cash at the end of the day!
Yeah, that's my concern. I feel like I'm overpaying just for aesthetics. I told my wife it might be around $300-$400 extra just for the white parts. Does that sound about right?
