Thanks for advice
Will add a boot drive and up psu power
I am right to assume windows will automatically be installed on smaller drive or will I have to add note to order?
forgot to add on original post already changed warranty to platinum for piece of mind

Amazing build. I'd certainly go for the storage setup mentioned above; personally, I'd be inclined to get a note put on the order to make sure Windows goes on the smaller drive.

I would, however, change the CPU to the 7900X. It's cheaper and faster and the main benefit of the non-X variant (the lower power draw) is made unnecessary by the excellent case and cooling setup. Honestly, I'd be inclined to wait a fortnight or so for the 7800X3D chip to come out, as that will probably be the ideal pure gaming chip and outperform either of the 7900(X) chips significantly. But as you've ordered it may be a touch late now!

Thanks for reply
Was trying to hold off but had waited for 4080/7900xtx benchmarks to be available before going for 4090 like a child couldn’t wait any longer
Would there be any benefit now or in the future going for the 7950x over 7900x have read it’s mainly aimed for productivity but down the line maybe unreal engine 5 games would benefit?

I doubt any game in the foreseeable future will benefit from the extra six cores. It could happen in the future, but if it does, you'll have an easy upgrade, and probably to something better than the 7950X: perhaps in two years there will be a 9900X3D (God only knows what naming scheme AMD will come up with...), and that would slot straight into your system. So you have the future taken care of very well, I think.
