4 Toshiba 5TB drives... Why don't you remove 2 or even 3 and throw in a few SSD's instead for better boot up. Hell, when first spending this much on a PC go for a high capacity SSD for games and OS. 

Also, do you actually think you need a sound card or Network card? Like honestly, if you're the avarage joe PC user its mostly completely unnecessary. Also if you play FPS games, Get a 144hz monitor, or you know 3... :P 

Lastly, going for an all in one liquid cooler or even making your own loop since you obviously have the money wouldn't be such a bad idea. You could perhaps even pay someone to do it for you.

I once explained to my girlfriend what true love is. I said, "If you were a shit, I'd put you back in" and to this day, she is still my little shit.

Get a liquid cooler, get SSDs instead of those hard drives, and what the HELL are you planning on doing with so much storage? And your MoBo has an ethernet adapter. Are you trying to waste money?

Ethernet adapter is for another pc, Storage I do a lot of stuff needing a ton of storage. Im also not a fan of Liquid cooling I find water and electronics dont mix.

Well, the all in one liquid coolers are closed and very safe to use. And still, throw in a high capacity SSD for faster boot time. Also, I'm guessing since you need alot of storage you do some kind of video editing? So I'd go for a CPU with higher core count, like its already quite clear you wanna spend alot of money, but why stop there, build something that makes even Linus go "HOLY BALLS!"

I'll definitely be getting 144hz monitors Now that I think about it. If I was going to switch some to SSD's would you recommend Samsung?

... You should probably get some help doing this.

Computers don't absorb heat, they produce it. With any sort of overclocking you'll need a proper cooler to keep it running at safe temperatures and not get damged

I know they don't absorb heat. I'm not planning to overclock either. I don't need help either I have built many computers over the last 6 years.

Okay, sorry. Yeah, Samsung's second best in the consumer market, pretty overpriced, but I see that isn't a problem in this case

I didn't mean for it to sound like I was taking a jab at you, my fault. But i'll take a look at samsung and i'll consider water cooling just to be safe.

Lian Li has really nice premium cases if you don't like the RGB gamer aesthetic. Also, you know you'll NEVER use even half of that RAM, right?

Nah, it's good, just not used to seeing overkill builds like this

I have a tendency of running a lot of stuff at once and using all my ram I use up 32 gb's most of the time now a days so I thought to be safe than sorry. But I'll take a look at Lian Li maybe make a yacht build.

I mean, yes its overkill. And you could probably go even more balls to the wall with a beefier SSD maybe one of the m.2 or a PCI-E slot kind. As you can see I changed out your screen. same resolution and size but 144hz. I also went ahead and removed the thermal paste and the air cooler, took a simple Corshair H100i cooler instead. Added a beefier CPU if you actually do some heavy stuff aside from gaming it will help a little... :D and lasty removed the network and sound card, because we don't whipe our asses with money... right?

Okay... Well. I guess you can afford whatever PC you go for. Then again, don't spend it all. :D Gotta save some for houses, cars and rainy days I guess :P But yeah, whatever you go for you already have a sick PC... But what do you actually plan to use the PC for?

I'm guessing you have all the power you need... :D Have fun building it, and be carefull. I'd hate to completely fuck up 3 ways sideways building something like that... :P
