Ahoy ahoy, I threw together a config, did a bit of tweaking, and came up with the below.
Any advice on where I've gone wrong would be gratefully received.
A few questions regarding what I've come up with:
I work on a dual monitor setup which consists of an ASUS MG28UQ, and a HUAWEI MateView GT 34.
Thanks in advance.

A few questions regarding what I've come up with:
- The only difference between the KF and K seems to be UHD graphic support. Is that worth the extra 30-odd quid?
- 32GB; is it sufficient? I tried going for 64GB but the configurator refused because the MoBo doesn't support it which confused me.
- Storage overkill? (I hoard games...)
- Is the cooler a good option?
- Are the extra fans...necessary? Worthwhile?
- Is it actually worth adding a dedicated sound card? If so, is the one in my config the best option?
I work on a dual monitor setup which consists of an ASUS MG28UQ, and a HUAWEI MateView GT 34.
Thanks in advance.
