We love you Ukraine
It's not very well balanced.
What's the reason for the storage?
Is it just for gaming?
Any reason for the RAM?

Yes its just for gaming, the storage is just because i have 300+ games on pc. As for the RAM its an excessive amount but i just run alot of applications in the background on other monitors whilst on games

I have a similar spec and have absolutely no issues running several applications in the back (all that you mentioned + more) on the second screen, while gaming in 4k on ultra on the first one. That's with 16gb of RAM.

If you really want to waste the money, go for 32GB but i'd be surprised if you ever get far above 12gb usage

THIS! Couldn’t have said it better myself. None of those apps would warrant the extra RAM

Drop the sound card, mobo audio is very good

Go for the AORUS Master mobo - it's a better board with more features for the same kind of price.
It also has wifi so you could drop the wifi card too.

16gb is genuinely more than futureproof for your uses. By the time you need more RAM than 16gb for the system, everything else will be obsolete anyway so RAM will be the least of your problems.

Drop the RAID SSDs. Just get a single, large HDD to put your 'archived' games in. And within Steam etc, just move them to the SSD as required. It's just spending cash for the sake of it and will give you no real benefit.
I have an 8TB HDD with around 800 games archived (slow internet, downloading them takes days) and the system is more than fine.
Get a larger NVMe SSD if you must spend more on storage.

Save the money for a GPU upgrade, more games, a holiday.
