And here are my questions:
1. Is there are any significant difference between 12GB NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3080 Ti and the same card but from ASUS STRIX? (except the higher price of the latter)
2. Is the cooling system sufficient for this build? I am not really familiar with that.
3. Is the selected motherboard good? It includes a network card but is it better to have it separate?
4. Can I add another 32GB of RAM of the same kind to this build - 32GB Corsair VENGEANCE RGB PRO DDR4 3600MHz? It doesn't let me choose it as an option so I am not sure if it's possible.
Thanks in advance for your comments.
