Skybuck's SuperPC for 2023

I am in the process of building my SuperPC design for 2023.

Half way the year I hurt my back real bad, so I had 4 months of delay, but right now I am feeling better and giving it an attempt ! ;)

I intend to film everything I do to this SuperPC for 2023, to see how long it really takes to build this thing. Last time I build my own PC was in 2006. I have messed with it throughout the years and also messed with some laptops, but now it's time to build a digital ferrari ! ;) =D Hopefully all goes well.

I take it slow, step by step, day by day, my videos might shine some questions that you have on this particular hardware... I try to film as much as possible from all kinds of sides, but I am no expert at filming, it's kinda difficult to do, but in case you want me to film anything in particular or from a certain angle, now is the time to request it in this thread ! ;) =D

Below is the specification/components for this build, I have no idea if it will work, but I did my best to select the best/top components I could find for my needs ! ;) which is lost of speed, lots of ram, lots of storage space, lots of bandwidth ! ;) lots of gigahertz and some decent ammount of threads, plus something extras 3D v-cache... to maybe bring down RAM access speed by faster caches a thing to come in the future, integrated RAM on CPU.
