Solid Intel CPU, sufficient Corsair RAM for gaming, solid GPU and top end ASUS mobo. Good Corsair Gold efficiency PSU. Hope you Overclocked the CPU at least to the free Stage 1 level...Full Stage 2 would be better yet if you improve the cooler.

DS is pretty easy to work with on changes, and I do see two missed opportunities for much better components here.

Your selected Drive1 is just a normal DS SATA III speed SSD.   Should have used a new Samsung Evo Pro or Evo Plus M.2 NVME SSD for 5 times faster speeds than SATA.    These M.2 NVME drives utilize the faster PCIE video bus on the motherboard, and you have two ports for M.2 NVME SSD drives.

Your selected Stage 1 DS CPU cooler only carries a 1 yr DS warranty.    Should have at least used one of the Corsair AIO Stage 2 coolers for longer warranty and much better cooling performance.

You could always ask DS to see what cost would be and how much it delays your build... That’s my take on the build....
