you can get similar performing coolers for less

motherboard is quite overpriced

do you really need 4tb of storage?

why such an expensive founder's edition gtx 1080?

do you really need the pro version of windows? 

 

are you just gaming or also streaming/editing/rendering?

i dont get why people pay almost the same price for a motherboard as the cpu, he could get a much cheaper motherboard in like the $150 dollar range and get a better cooler, deffo not a founders 1080, ew.
