Hello @Tylerj210
Thank you for posting on the Micro Center Community! Taking a look at this list, it's a pretty crazy and high end list!
There are definitely some changes that can be done, such as your PC Case. Your PC case is the Corsair 1000D, a case commonly used for PCs that have 2 PCs inside it, one main system and a side system. It's a very very LARGE case and I recommend looking for something smaller, like the Corsair 4000D or Corsair 5000D.
Regarding your RAM, you have a large amount of RAM selected and you can usually get away with 32 at most or 64GB. 128GB is a bit overboard with what you planned on doing.
You have selected a lot of large sized drives. I definitely recommend starting off with a M.2 Drive and a smaller hard drive, 10TB is definitely a lot of storage, though you can add more drives later when you do need them.
Do you need a Capture Card? This is commonly used for streaming games that are not available on your PC, such as a Playstation or Xbox.
You do not need an internal optical drive as most of the cases we carry do not have room for it.
Your thermal compound pick is really just thermal pads commonly used when turning your GPU into one that can be watercooled or replacing other thermal pads. Your All in One cooler should have thermal paste either pre-applied or comes with it's own tube.
The water cooling accessory is also not needed. It's just an extra item that does nothing, as it is for a custom water cooling loop.
A lot of the accessories like keyboard and mice are all personal picks and you can check them when you come into the store. There are definitely a lot of options on our website when making a PC build however not all options need to be selected.
