I am on my 2nd Digital Storm that I got a few months ago. Since I am 69 I don't know if I will live long enough to need another.
Your system is indeed a computer dream system! Be sure to post pictures of the unboxing & happy smiles!

Congratulations. I only have one comment regarding your cooling choice. The Hydrolux Pro is a very good open loop cooling system yet you are only including the cpu in it. If you only want the cpu under liquid you'd do way easier on maintenance to go with an AIO otherwise you will increase the level of care quite a bit (and that assuming no leaks) just for looks (and it will look awesome) BUT that is a strong consideration for some. Just my 2 cents. Enjoy.  |

I had the same thought as hoserator... Aventum is the best liquid cooled rig in the biz, and the capacity of 3 huge reservoirs is kinda wasted if you are not also using it to cool that big GPU. Think they require you to get the more expensive Performance Edition model. If by chance you don't need a RTX3090 for your specific uses, keep in mind you could drop to the RTX 3080 Ti for near 3090 performance and actually save a couple bucks...as the Ti should actually be the better choice for just gaming use.

What HockeyBuck said. The RTX 3090 is not really a gaming card.
