Above were the initial building blocks for my system. It wasn't 'hard' to install, I just took my time having not built a PC since the late 90s...
Everything works flawlessly and I have not run into a single issue with temps or anything that doesn't enable me to run a sim rig off of it as well as all the latest VR games on my Reverb G2...
I'm a 'Go Big Or Go Home' kind of guy, and when I built this it was pretty much highest end poosible in late 2019 - As such, like I said, not a single issue ever... Sure, you may spend a few extra $ for a cooler like this, but knowing your cooling issues are over forever and its gonna be great for many years to come makes it worth it - To me that is anyway...
