just not your hdds....i dont like prison

That motherboard is really cool. Never seen a mobo that comes with watercooling heatsink pre-installed.
But now looking on google I found others too, even one that includes the cpu also.
Only that price... more then I payed for my new cpu. Looks great though, and probably great performance also.

Not sure if I need to say, but make sure the memory is compatible with the motherboard, check the QVL list before buying.
If you plan to install 4 memory modules, you must also check if those modules can work together.
Some modules only support the installation of 2, and can give troubles when you install 4 of those.

That G.SKILL Trident Z RGB 64Gb memory costs just over €1000  

 

Since you're paying that much for a new pc, why not replace the screen with a highend gaming monitor also?

I already have a 27 inch 144hz monitor that is perfect for gaming but i will
be getting an ultrawide as second monitor for tv docs and movies and video
editing...

Been reading up on this spec, pretty spectacular setup...



I have a question before I make any possible suggestions if I may...
I have one or two but....

Is your 27" monitor 4k, or is you new wide one you have your eyes on 4K...?

Current monitor is 1920 x 1080 @ 144hz

No plans for 4k new ultrawide is gonna be 3440 x 1440. 34 inch probably but maybe bigger.
