New threadripper build

Looking to put together a hybrid workstation / gaming rig, based in the UK, not sure on budget sub £5k would be nice, the phase one list is £4995, if I can find better value for money that would help.

 

Wanting high core count and a lot of RAM for running VMs and then dual boot to allow gaming with a good gpu, current plan is:

 

Phase 1:

Phase 2 would see a 2nd GPU and custom WC loop for both GPUs and the CPU.

 

I struggled to find a case that would take the e-ATX board, large PSU and have space for some large rads, any other options?

 

Looking for a sanity check and maybe some opinions if there are better options, its been over 15 years since I build a PC.

I think 128 GB RAM is little bit overkill, but why not when you can afford it
