Very difficult to read that to be honest, better if you copied and pasted the link to the build itself using the "post to forum" button. What is the system for? Is it gaming? It's certainly "up" there spec wise but not sure if it's particularly wise. I don't know any people that would make good use of such a system and some of the options are a bit off (cooling choice is bonkers IMO).

 

[Oussebon]

As above, what's it for?

What software?

if gaming, what resolution and refresh rate are you gaming on?

Why the sound card?

How are you planning to use the storage?

What's the budget, and what price did the spec come to?

 

[ChelseaWinners]

i edited it,gaming and VR along with video editing and photshop stuff.storage will have video and movies on along with pictures etc and sound card for better audio/sound, budget was around 3000 and it came to just off that.

 

[Oussebon]

What monitor are you gaming on? resolution and refresh rate - or give us the exact model usually written on the back if you're not sure

And what VR kit?

 

[ChelseaWinners]

its an ASUS VP28UQG, 28 Inch 4K (3840 x 2160) Gaming Monitor, 1 ms, DP, HDMI, FreeSync, at the moment but am looking at ultra wide monitors at the moment and foR THE VR i was gonna go with the oculus rift?

I wouldn't recommend an overclocked AMD. Boost clocks from AMD are from the best core rather than the worst. This means that if you overclock all cores to the same level they will be restricted to your worst core limit. AMDs boost works absolutely fine and boosts whichever core is the best to it's maximum capacity where power allows (Good Motherboard covers that).

Crosshair VIII Hero is overkill, the standard Asus X570 board is fantastic.
Asus ROG 2080Ti is way overpriced. Best to purchase your own IMO and just fit it.
I would purchase 2 really fast M2 drives over 1 M2 and 1 SSD. 1TB is overkill for a cache drive though, 512GB is overkill so I wouldn't go past that for your second drive.
The PSU is cutting it fine. The 750RMx would be my minimum recommendation with a build like this.
With the cooler, the 3950X runs very hot under full chat. The minimum would be the H100i RGB platinum for me. The H100x is almost as good with it's regular fans but the silent fans actually lower the performance, it's cooling plate isn't as efficient hence why it's not quite as good. The RGB platinum has the quietest fans I've ever seen so definitely go with that. If you want to be certain then the H115i RGB Platinum would allow higher boost clocks for longer during heavy load.
The Corsair coolers come with excellent paste. I wouldn't recommend the MX-4 re-paste.
The case fans would be overkill if you selected something like the 570X RGB case from Corsair. The RGB Platinum and the stock fans would have you covered.
No point at all in the audio card, waste of cash.

 

[Oussebon]

Agreed with the above.

Also re: the case fans, you're buying a be quiet! case presumably because you want a quiet system, but then replacing the Silentwings fans it comes with with RGB ones anyway? Probably better to just get a case that comes with these already - 570X was mentioned above, but also the Obsidian 500 SE is an option as it has the controller built in

And then a relevant motherboard for USB 3.1 Gen 2 at the front, with that case:

Or the 570X case and X570-PLUS motherboard woild be great too.

NB: 760P in place of the MP600 SSD as the configurator wouldn't let me add the MP600 due to stock shortage.

A beast. Good choices.
I'd still prefer an Intel based system but guess AMD's the 'better' one these days.

That's a good monitor for the spec.

If you don't mind fitting an SSD yourself, you could order without the Intel 760p, and then add a very nice, fast Corsair MP600 instead once they are available. You can buy one as an upgrade from PCS, or from any store of your choosing. You have a CPU and a motherboard that support PCIe 4.0. It would be nice to have a PCIe 4.0 SSD

The spec overall looks solid to me. You are paying a premium for certain things, but if you are happy to do so, the spec is balanced I think

 

[Scott]

You will want the MP600 M2 drive if you can get it/have the patience to wait for it. Otherwise that's a monster
