No need for Thermal Paste , the tube of Cryopaste that comes with the cooler is very good.

if you want to save dollars you can check out the DELL XPS 8930 deal you can configure it to match your prebuilt setup and you end up only paying $1500 US , saving you $450 approx. check this out -

i was talking to my brother and i think i'm going to change my cpu because of the performance hit that it may take with spectre/meltdown patch, which alternative cpu would you suggest that would go in its place?

Out of curiosity, do you specifically need the extra ethernet card - ie: need more than one ethernet port?

No mate,all modern boards have gigabit ethernet included.
Another 10 quid saved there then 😀

Yep, madmatt is spot on - this board comes with ethernet, and, I believe, also wifi.

I'd agree - the only downsides, as far as I know
- Blower style cooler on the GTX 1080
- if you opt for 16GB, I *think* Dell does it as a single stick, so, RAM will be in single channel mode (not sure on this)
- Can at best opt for 2TB HDD.
- Not sure if their SSDs are as good as the Crucial MX500
- 460W Power supply (though, they do claim it's good enough to run up to 225W graphics cards)

Total comes to $1649, but then the TENOFF coupon puts it at $1484.10 though, depending on what state you're in, there could be sales tax.

Still, could be worth considering...
