That build is ridiculous mate, can I ask what it's for?

Few tips if you don't mind, the thermal paste you selected isn't need the Corsair CPU cooler comes with it's own pre applied paste so they would have to remove that then repaste the new paste which can cause problems which aren't necessary

You should also remove Bullguard from your order, Windows Defender is free with Windows and just as good as any anti virus out there. Bullguard will cause more problems than it'll solve

Lastly the Silver warranty is a bargain at a fiver mate, you should really include that just because of the cost of the system

The other advice I'd give would be to lose the sound card, lose the USB card, and change to a second M.2 SSD rather than the (slow) SATA one.

If you want a superior sound card, get a USB interface, not a PCIe one.

Thanks guys, I appreciate your imput!

In regards to why the overkill build; it's been a while since I upgraded and I just wanted to put something together that will last a good while that is super powerful. It will be for gaming, media, work and just general everyday use.

So, I dropped the paste, bloatware, usb card, and soundcard. I also changed the warranty and switched to 2x M2 SSDS instead of the sata SSD.

Is there anything else you'd suggest or does that seem better now? To be honest, as I said I built my last few rigs myself but it's been a while since the last one so I'm no expert!

Cheers
