Before diving deep, what are you primarily using this build for? It might help to assess whether all the spending is necessary. If it’s mainly a workstation for gaming and streaming, the specs look really powerful! Just curious if you need that much horsepower for what you’re doing.
I mainly use it as a workstation for gaming and streaming. I tend to push my rigs pretty hard with multitasking — I even have around 90 Chrome tabs open at times, thanks to my ADHD! So I guess I'm running it pretty intensely.
