Questions(No specific order):

1. Is there a 128GB version of the Samsung 950 PRO PCI-e SSD? Cause I intend to have everything on the HDD, the SSD will just be for programs & OS, so if 128GB version exists, I'd appreciate if an employee could change my current saved configuration.

2. Is there a 1080p, 24" or 27", 144hz capable, g-sync monitor out there? I tried looking for one, but no luck but I might just be bad at finding stuff on the internet.

3. This "OS Boost", what is that really? How much of a gain will I be getting from getting all the non-crucial programs disabled? It doesn't really specify what sort of programs they'll be disabling, just want the 45$ to be worth it.

4. What sort of "Future proof" is this build? This is a temporary computer for myself until I decide to go bigger & better & hopefully my 2nd desktop will be with DS if this goes swell. I'm just waiting on certain technologies to come out. I know the 1080 will kill everything on 1080p playing current games, so I think it's a decent "Future proof" for future games, is the 16GB enough or should I up it to 32GB?

5. What employee do I contact to get an old account & related posts to that account of mine deleted off the forums? Used my real life name in it, I'd like to get that fixed.

6. Is there anything that DS can do extra to protect the computer on it's travels to my destination? I live in Iceland, so that's going to be quite the travel for it. So again, anything DS can do extra? More foam inside the case, sturdier box material, more tape on the cardboard box, etc? Because if I have any issues I'm not sure if I'll be sending it back & forth, not sure if I gotta pay again the toll forth & back of the computer, so it's really 1-way & local tech savy people that would fix it if it's damaged or something wrong when it arrives.

We have shipped many systems to Iceland with zero issues with our packaging as it's very sturdy and designed to handle multiple trips.

Our pleasure and good luck

Originally posted by Torva Messor I really appreciate the help, again. But I've decided to postpone my purchase, I'll continue to read every review, opinions of DS & I'll return once again to actually purchase my first DS rig, completely the way I want it.

They have other lines other than the Vanquish that allow you to customize more of the options if that's your thing.  With your budget that seems more than doable, though I think some of the options you chose in your config are a bit of a waste of money, and that the total price for your config could include a very nice monitor and then some if you played your cards right.
