My only suggestions would be:
  1. swap the 4TB 990 Pro for a 4TB Corsair MP600 Pro...as it's got much better endurance and reliability
  2. swap the 850W PSU for a 1000W PSU, otherwise you're limiting yourself to a similar level GPU down the line (and I believe 900W is the minimum recommended PSU for some 9070XT models, the PowerColor Red Devil for example)

I was thinking about either the XFX Quicksilver Mag.Air (+White) or the Sapphire Pure, had terrible coil whine on the last Red Devil I purchased (6900XT). Really depends on what is available through the site. Thanks for the input, I'll swap them over :)

Oh, and does anyone know if the RAM is EXPO enabled? From what I have read, Corsair offer XMP, and XMP and EXPO kits. There isn't anything I can see on the part picker that states if the Vengeance/Dominator kits have EXPO, and I believe the EXPO kits are typically grey in colour which doesn't match the images shown.

Edit: I might be overthinking this

It won't matter, as the motherboards support hybrid OC RAM profiles, so EXPO, XMP, DOCP (and the non-OC JEDEC of course).
