Graphics card?

What gpu? I wouldn't use a Gigabyte MB unless i had no other choice. Also, I'd go for a 140mm fan in back, and two 140mm on the side.....that is in addition to the three 140mm fans in front and the 360mm radiator up top. I wouldn't use windows 11 home, i'd use pro or enterprise. 4 tb isn't much storage these days. It's alright.....but I think you could do better for nearly £3000.

Gigabyte MB's are fine, he's probably talking about the bad warranty experiences in the US, in Europe we don't have those issues.
