So it is about time I upgrade my desktop. It sadly doesn't look like I can push it much longer.

I was thinking something along the lines of this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pKHvyfthe purchased parts are from my old desktop and every part price have been edited to fit Danish pricing.

Sadly I haven't been able to find a 32gb 3200 on Asus's tested list and ryzen really likes fast ram, so I guess I am going with 16gb.

Suggestions for improvements are welcome- 

Before you buy amp and dac.  My thoughts on the M50x  Ultimate Ears Reference monitor review I might have a thing for audio...

1. Asus Strix for more dank RGB and Aura Sync?

2. Well not all sticks gonna work but AGESA update makes more sticks work better. 

3. How much cheaper would 3000 MHz ram be? 

4. Why not X62 instead?

Might get the strix card, but only if it goes down in price by 50$. The ram I found is certified and 3000 is actually 10-20$ more and is cl 15. The X62 cannot fit in the case , though I am not sure about the case. I just want a small atx PC

My suggestion would be a less expensive motherboard , you're running a single gpu yet paying for dual gpu features.

Nope,  not going to go with a cheaper board, because it will have worse vrm, worse ram configuration (single phase Vs dual)  and just overall worse in terms of features and build quality. The only boards that come close to my standards is the hero, asrock gaming pro and taithi, if Asus made a formula board then I would buy that.  Plus who knows,  I might go sli.

Good build overall, but possibly think of going non aio on the water cooling. I find it gets realy hot after a long time of use on aio

The aio would be the outtake  but yes the PC is probably going to be hot

Yeah it would be amazing to have everything in RGB, especially with a windowed case

Well if less speed for more then it's bad 

Ah yeah, the case only fits 240mm AIO. 

Didn't notice that the case isn't bought yet. Why a small case? Are you limited by desk space?

Basically just because I would like to have a fairly compact PC that is fairly easy to move around. I have a C70 right now, which I like because it has handles and it is therefore fairly easy to move around, but it is not that nice looking or that small.
