Four questions.

1) Why that motherboard? That is way, way more mobo than you need.

2) Why 50 gazillion different hard drives? You only need two. An SSD for boot/active files and a mechanical HD storage drive. You really don't need the M.2 drive at all. Get a 500gb Samsung Evo and a 2 TB Western Digital/Seagate HD and save some dough.

3) What the hell is with the video card? You might as well use onboard video.

4) What the hell is with the power supply?

One more question. Yes, I know I said 4 questions. Sue me.

Why no Ryzen processor? It is better for productivity than Intel.
