Yay, yeah I went with the RTX 4070ti instead of the RTX 4090, as the RTX 4070ti is ASUS TUF factory overclocked. And instead of 192GB 48000 MHz DDR5 RAM I went with 64GB 60000MHz DDR5 Kingston Fury Beast running in AEMP II profilenotice the CPU is unlocked for overclocking, the Motherboard & CPU accept Intel Turbo & Turbo Pro o.c. As well as extreme tuning. The CPU dual chamber cap is an LCD screen giving temp.

And Yes the 49” curved UHD 4K monitor is Big but with the 32” I kept wanting another monitor to display things like Firefox, GOMplayer mini for music, etc. so now I have room

All RGB items controlled and synched via ASUS ROG ARMORY AURA software.

Depends on what the PC will be used for.
 
"Motherboard ASUS Prime Z790-P WiFi - ASUS TUF PRIME Z790 PROART Wi-Fi"...........................is that 1 motherboard or 2?
The model is Z790-P WiFi

The name is ASUS TUF Prime Z790 -ProArt WiFi

So one motherboard, sorry I was not specific.
 
If this is a gaming build, to spend this much and to *only* end up with a 4070 Ti at 4K is really quite disappointing. That leaves you with the issue that a $2500 PC will perform just as well in games than this $6000 PC (+monitor). There's a lot of performance swapped out for extremely overpriced gear; I'm sure the keyboard and mouse are nice, but even $200 of that at least could have gone towards correcting performance deficiencies. And 64 GB of RAM when there are other problems?

This really should have started with a 4090 and then build around *that*. But the GPU choice almost feels like an afterthought, which is really odd for a $6000 PC. There's just too much bling and not enough zing as a result.
 
I am waiting for an RTX 4090ti to be made Pref, ASUS TUF factory O.C.d maybe an MSI if comes first then I will give the 4070ti to a guildmate & friend
