here is the system I ordered from Cyberpower pc I can build my own but lazy plus give all the headaches to a boutique like coolant leaks and bad boards etc ill keep you all posted . Also after checking with multiple sources I decided on cyberpower. as with all boutiques you should do some research on your components before you order. I think that much of the problem with getting a bad machine is pretty much the buyers fault

+Liquid Cooler, Sleeved extensions, Optane, RGB strips, 3 year labor, 1 year parts, Hue+ (I assume) and an external BluRay drive.....
Not too bad actually. Not something I'd buy myself, but compared to retail etc, you're not overpaying a bunch and, if it gives you peace of mind, then it's not a bad buy.


Just some comments:
1. you're still paying for the labor aspect, while covering the shipping yourself, so that sucks and takes away some of the value...
2. No SSD, only Optane + 1TB + 4TB?
3. The CPU + Board strikes me as an interesting choice - Not knocking the choice, but I'd be curious what your use case is that resulted in you deciding on that CPU which, is generally believed to serve very little purpose in Intel's product stack?
