Below is my build, and I placed the order the day after Christmas so I'm in Stage 1.
Are there any inventory issues that may delay this build? (CPU/GPU) Not sure how many USB ports this one has, any direction on where to find that? How about cooling? Are additional fans recommended? Any feedback on aspects of this configuration is appreciated. Will use this for gaming (flight and space sims and strategy games) as well as basic work (MS office stuff) Thanks!

No inventory issues I know of. The motherboard is a DS choice of the MSI OR the Asus. Look up specs for each one using Google. You will see all the various attributes of each, including # of USB ports. Cooling/airflow in the Lumos is very good at stock.
You want to immediately change the DS "Performance Series" M.2 SSD to an NVMe M.2. I recommend the Firecudas. The DS part is a SATA SSD. The NVMe SSDs work from the PCIe bus, and are 5-10 times faster. That's a game-changer for everything you do from your primary drive.

+1 on the Storage Set 1. Way faster.

Ok, thanks very much guys I appreciate it! I'll take a look at the specs via Google, as well as contact DS on Monday to change the SATA to NVMe SSD.
