~$2k is on the high-end of normal and considering what you're getting I sure don't think that's too much. honestly that's the best value I've ever seen performance VS dollars. (but I haven't bought a new PC in almost 10 years now either...)

I'd like advice on what I've assembled so far instead of discussing the cost so much itself. If you have something that is like a different brand or I need a different kind of something, suggestions and explanations are definitely welcome

• basically everything is off-the-scale performance wise
• liquid cooling might be overkill
• you could get faster clocked RAM according to your motherboard specs (up to 5200)
• motherboard supports RAID but not sure how I'd plan that these days with SSDs
• expect SSD to eventually fail (but not sure on longevity). not sure of best approach but probably don't just use the one SSD for everything.
• (if I was building it I would look into SSD RAID 10 but not sure about it. it's possible mirroring SSDs makes no sense since the mirrors would likely fail at the exact same time (due to having limited # of writes))
• video card is mind blowing compared to anything I've ever had but not sure how it compares to other similar tier cards.
