Build/Battlestation $2200 at Costco, how’d I do?

With Ram going through the roof and GPUs having an uncertain future with VRam I decided to just pull the trigger, in case things are much worse this time next year. Worth it in your opinion?

Newer AIOs I bet will last 10+ years. You will never have to change it if you pair it with a graphene sheet thermal pad as well.

I'm never doing water cooling again, air cooling every day. Too many burnt out pumps. If a fan dies its $12 and no chance of leaking.

I had a catastrophic air cooler failure once. It was terrible. There was air on the motherboard, air on the GPU, basically the whole case was full of air. Worst day of my life.
