Nice build! Definitely satisfies 80% of the overkill tag.

However your storage situation is woefully lacking.

Water cooling would definitely serve this build well. Some opaque coolant would look really nice. Good job on the build.

Agreed.  Throw a 2-3 TB HDD in there for cold storage and you are good to go.

i could add more storage in the future if needed but for my needs right now a 1tb drive is plenty and i have a external 2tb drive for movies etc

Ahhh I missed the drives in RAID0. Though, really, a 1TB single drive would have been better, and if it was speed you're after, an NVME drive would have been the better choice by far.

i have  a m.2 nvme for main applications and the 1tb for games

Yeah but that doesn't change the fact that a single 1TB drive is much, much more reliable. It's also cheaper.

1tb nvme drive over 2 500gb ssds is not cheaper but a 1tb ssd over 2 500 gb ssds is cheaper  and i dont have access to my seconds nvme slot anyways because of the sli setup

No, the nvme drive would be marginally more expensive at 2x+ the speed. The 1TB SSD is many times more reliable, like I said

a samsung 1tb nvme is 550$ and a 1tb samsung ssd is 350$ a 200$ difference

I didn't say it was Samsung did I? Nope, I didn't. There's more than just one NVME drive available.

what would you suggest? i cant now its too late but when i get my water-cooling done i would have room to put in another.
