Getting close to having the funds so thought I'd get some opinions.

Yes there is a ton of RGB but in the end it'll be color neutral with purple and gold lights.

well there's a ton of wasted money to pad the budget , but looks fine compatibility wise.

True, I tried to do performance and aesthetic all at once. Though since I'm still about $700 short of my 3k budget goal I may switch to a pure performance build with a clean mat-black look.

Looks fine but why the 2tb ssd? Just have a 500GB ssd.

Sadly a 500Gb would get filled way too fast, though the M.2 could be swapped for a couple 1Tb SSDs and cost about half as much...and this is why I wanted opinions lol

Yea. Because I looked at the list and I'm like you spent more on your storage then your gpu. You should probably fix that.
