Hi, so this is just to verify if I have chosen right (mainly for entertainment and work, I intend to run several hours loads about 100% using some ML tools etc):
Case
COOLERMASTER MASTERCASE H500M GAMING CASE ( i cant find any interesting case to be honest...)
Processor (CPU)
AMD Ryzen 9 3950X 16 Core CPU (3.5GHz-4.7GHz/73MB CACHE/AM4) (cpu is very important so I have chosen the fastest one)
Motherboard
ASUS® CROSSHAIR VIII HERO (DDR4, PCIe 4.0, CrossFireX/SLI) - RGB Ready! (is it ok ? )
Memory (RAM)
32GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR4 3000MHz (2 x 16GB) / 64 gb (thinking about 64)
Graphics Card
11GB NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 2080 Ti - HDMI, 3x DP GeForce - RTX VR Ready!
Power Supply
CORSAIR 650W TXm SERIES™ SEMI-MODULAR 80 PLUS® GOLD, ULTRA QUIET
Processor Cooling
Corsair H115i RGB PLATINUM Hydro Series High Performance CPU Cooler

What do you think? I find prices on pcspecialist good enough to consider buying from them, previously I have chosen some small compact form PC but after discussion with one of the members I have changed my mind - thanks for that!).

Can you post the full build including the configuration link at the bottom?

The motherboard is unecessary, but other than that it looks ok.

Power supply is not for the wattage, but more for the model, it's far better which leads to better airflow in the case and runs much quieter.

You aren't using the features of the Hero, it's designed for LN2 overclocking.

LN2 - oh là là :) I may use it later I reckon (when I may be upgrading my build - its like 100gbp more so it aint so much expensive), great input with 750W powerunit. I will keep motherboard and change power unit. Thanks for help !

Yeah Liguid Nitrogen, let me see what are other differences, if its only LN2 then you may be right, I also like that HERO does not have integrated graphics on board.

You were right - no need to choose more expensive that does not really offer anything useful - at least for me. Thanks for info!
