Hello,
It look pretty solid but (of course there is a but ) :
- I'd improve the SSDs for at least one gen 4 (like the 990 or 980 samsung) and a second one a little bit less fast (but a gen 4 would be great)
- I'd take the dead pixel guarranty
- I'd not take the norton trial, windows defender do a great job nowadays

I hope this will help you ^^

Very good. I just ordered one with the 4090, a month waiting for.
I'd really like them to offer the CherryMX Mechanical keyboard.
Congrats on the machine.

i would LOVE if pcs offered like a mechanical keyboard building service, because as far as i'm aware there are very few, if any, mechanical keyboards that they stock

Thanks for pointing this out. Only after you mentioned it I realized that the menu with the hard drives is goes further down with scrolling
I've amended the order now and I've changed the storage drive on which the games will be installed to 2tb Samsung 980.

I was wondering whether to go with the 4090 but I've decided it's an overkill. Probably going to regret it down the line but then I'll have a reason to change the laptop
