It looks very good to me, you will enjoy that new system. Prices seem high, but I know that components in Europe are much more than they cost in the USA. I assume that you have an Optical Drive and an Operating System already?

Looks great to me. Nice build, and congratulations. I just priced out my late February/early March build, to the paltry tone of $8,500 USD.

Nice! You better be running programs/games that utilise that much computer. Anything particularly special happening Feb/early March (e.g new Nvidia release?) by any chance?
Tingi - looks like a nice, balanced, PC. Post some pics when you build it.

I was hasty in posting that. After what I have spent on XMAS shopping thus far, I am thinking a big fat no for the PC build. Down payment on Audi A5 > bank account....
As for programs/games that utilize it. Well, yes, I have a few things planned. I would really like to use a few of my in house development programs I normally have to use my workstation for on my main desktop. In addition, I want a powerful PC for Windows11/DX11 games, etc.
nVidia releases I am not at liberty to discuss. There might be some stuff around that time, then again, there might not be. I can't really confirm or deny it.
