Hello @RogueWaveI made a few changes to your build that I think are important.

I'll describe the changes and explain them from top to bottom.

I swapped out your motherboard for an option that is a bit more expensive because I felt that since you chose teh 3950X you would want to pair it with an equally powerful/robust motherbaord.

I changed your PSU to a fully modular option with an 80 Plus Gold rating. This will mean that there will be less wire mess in the case, as well as a better power efficiency.

The GPU you had selected was one with a water block attached and would require a custom water cooling loop. I'd recommend a 3070 but it hasn't yet released. So I've replaced it with a similar option at a close price to the expected MSRP of the 3070.

I noticed you only included a single NVMe drive for your storage. I'd suggest adding either an additional NVMe or a HDD for your project files.

I did change out your CPU cooler as well, but wasn't sure of what you'd prefer. I listed two different options, either the Noctua - NH-D15, or the ASUS - ROG Ryou 240 240mm RGB AIO.  They are comperable options in performance, but they offer a different asthetic. Pick one and remove the other!

I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any questions.
