I've got a X299 board but I'd like to put in a 7980XE CPU in it, but I've got nowhere near the £2000 it'll cost for the CPU 
Very impressive buys, I'll know where to come for some hardware if you like to send on the discounts you get

well cables ... because you never have enough ...
1st : someone decided that his foot was a good match for my pair of Sinox RCA cable i was using to wire a Logitech BT adapter ... to a Logitech Z333 result : ripped off RCA female on the Z333
solution : a 1m USB-C to USB Micro A (5$) to wire the computer to my Fiio Q1 MkII (that DAC sound better than my onboard soundcard or audio via HDMI/DP) and then a U-3.5mm jack, can't do full duplex but now i can use my Z333 when the computer is not on (or playing music/video/games) with my Google Home Mini or my Phone for local music or Spotify without having to unplug the 3.5mm from the Q1 to the Logi BT.
2nd 1m Baseus Yven series USB-A to Micro A + C adapter (braided ... sturdier than the other i bought before ... and cheaper, 10$~ in promo ) Quick Charge 3.0 works with it
3rd 2m Otterbox USB-A to Micro A for my Xbox one controller, not cheap but sturdy as hell (awesome build quality)
and then since my father needed a SD/uSD reader for his Canon EOS 1500D, i gave him the Kingston i had (USB 3.0 too) and got myself that Hama (a little less compact but works fine)
and a pack of USB-C Dust cover, funny enough even tho the Pocophone F1 has no IP rating ... it's quite resistant to water (saw some test pouring literally buckets and continuous stream on it ... without the phone failing once ) if you protect the USB-C connector (7.70$~ for 10)
edit: i forgot that one ... a Panzerglass ... Edge to Edge it says ... bollocks, 0.5mm on the side 2mm on the top and 0.1mm bottom is not edge to edge but still a good protection

Do the VRMs on the top of the motherboard get warm with the rad being rather close to it? Looks a lovely setup Have you overclocked it at all yet?
Have you overclocked it at all yet?
There's enough clearance between rad and vrm. Yeah 4.5ghz @ 1.2v.... thank you. Might be replaced the Cpu soon. I'm working with 6950x hopefully he agreed. Lol
