Welcome to DS.

That system will run 4K at max with no issues. Strong

I am not one of the configuration gurus but the only thing I would change is deleting the gpu overclocking. Not needed with that card and you have it on air so it could turn out to be slower because of thermal throttling down.

The gurus will ask about the amount of RAM, you really only need 8GB for gaming and 32GB is the sweet spot for future proofing right now unless you do some specific work where you need more.

You chose the Velox. It is a DS proprietary exclusive design. In case you don't know, it has the window on the right side with the mobo installed upside down and gpu(s) on top of the cpu. It is very comfortable to work in.

hoserator's right on the money.

The RAM is overkill for just about everything. Mostly that extra 32GB will be idle. 850W for the PSU is plenty of overhead for your system. At least about 300W in reserve. Feel free to go your own way, but that's my take.

I appreciate the feedback! I was trying to get what I could while I could, the wife only lets me splurge once in a blue moon - gotta make it count!
