First desktop buying

CASDJ12345

Edit 2: 

This system for College, Gaming and video editing purposes, i would have gone for a cheaper build but i choose this build because wanted to buy a PC and get it over with i believe(correct me if i am wrong) this PC should last me 5+ years without upgrading anything and somewhere in my life i am thinking about mining some Cryptocurrency (its still a thought) which i am sure will reduce my GPU life expectancy as well. As of Motherboard i was planning of getting an MSI  Z370 M5 but i thought ASUS motherboard was a better buy.With Windows 10 Pro it only 30 bucks extra it not but of a lot of different from Home version i thought it would be good in the future maybe.

It's so hard to tell what you want to do with your computer. I'd say if you were gaming it's very overkill for 1080P HRR.

No one likes fanboys.

if you didnt spend 3000$ on a machine you might not even need to finance it.

but yeah fix that initial list because right now it's a nightmare to read.

Yeah.. well checking, what I think you have, I would say, that you are paying a $1000 premium, just to have a pre-built PC. But then Again.. The list and Price is still a little bit off.. I mean you don't need an SLI Bridge, if you only have 1 GFX Card f. e.

Not a good Terrible build.

 

1000W would likely power two such systems.

Two WiFi adapters doesn't make much sense.

The motherboard has a LAN port, no need for a separate adapter.

The H60 cpu cooler is a terrible choice for an unlocked i7.

If Cyberpower is assembling the system there is no need to buy thermal compound. CPU coolers come with compound.

Intel Optane memory is generally not worth the cost. A conventional ssd is a more cost effective choice. An NVMe M.2 ssd would provide better performance.

Two keyboards seems wasteful.

As does two mice.

Motherboard has decent sound, no need for a sound card.

32GB of memory is overkill. 16GB makes more sense for a general gaming system.

Unless one needs features of Windows 10 Pro like bitlocker, the Home edition is quite suitable.

If not overclocking, the i7-8700 makes more sense. The performance differential is quite small.

 

 

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
