Ok, thanks a lot, had an Amazon Warehouse deal on the 2060S and went with it.

I have one more question on top of the question about the RAM earlier: I could get the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER 8 GB Gaming OC 3X for 535€ or the Gigabyte GeForce Rtx 2060 Super Gaming OC white 8GD for 419€, i.e. 21.6% cheaper (116€ in absolute terms). Could anyone give me a recommendation one way or the other?

Further question: is a 10% more expensive G.Skill Trident Z Neo 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 Memory worth the upgrade to 3600?

Thanks a lot for the reply. If I am not looking at it wrongly then the BeQuiet is on the A+ list. This is the model mentioned, right? https://smile.amazon.de/gp/product/B078X1J85L/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_10?smid=A3JWKAKR8XB7XF&psc=1

I was a bit unsure about the add-on fans, so I will potentially leave them out. I had an RMX in there then someone recommended the be quiet! What makes you choose RMX over be quiet? I think I'll stick to the 2×2×16GB because the 1×4×16GB cost 25% more for whatever reason and 32GB modules are not available. If I require an update at a later stage, I can probably just replace 2×16GB and be done with it, right?

I do have 64GB already, do you reckon the Radeon + 3900X would be better for me? What about something like a 1660 Super? I ran out of memory yesterday again. I have 16GB at the moment. Do you have a recommendation for the NVME SSD boot drive? Simulations are another thing I've missed. I run a bunch of them as it is today. Usually go out of the room while they are running. I think you have a point with your remarks, I am just not sure if I won't use the GPU once I have it. But see my question above.

Jetbrains IDEs are a memory eater, they require a boatload. On my current setup, they are always lagging. Excel is the same thing for large data work. I use Excel often to modify data, transform it and what not and running larger of those sheets takes a lot of time with my current computer. And it triggers me when entering something into a field has a 0.7sec lag, it just isn't smooth. The GPU is potentially an overkill, but I might want to do some video editing in the future or local ML. If this is the only overkill, I'd be happy to live with it.

I am looking for a desktop pc that is primarily used for using Excel, 1-2 JetBrains IDE (includes running local workloads from time to time for testing), Chrome and other minor programs. It also runs (i.e. connects to) two virtual desktops. I am not doing any Gaming or Video rendering. But I do have 4 monitors at the moment, 2 of them are 4K already (LG 32UD99-W), but I plan to replace the other two with similar monitors as well (suggestions, please, but don't count towards the budget). It needs to be an improvement over my current HP EliteBook 850 G5 (15.60", UHD, Intel Core i7-8550U, 16GB, 1000GB, SSD, 4G) which I find to be too slow. PC should be able to run 1 or 2 8K monitors in the future, ideally. I also have a mouse and a keyboard already. It should be as white as possible. The CPU cooler is not listed in white on the PCPartPicker website, but is available.
