Very nice to have a new system. Do you have a Windows partition on it, or just Linux?
What made you go with Intel over AMD? AMD used to always be cheaper, but since Zen architecture has become so successful I could see that might have changed.
AMD GPU's are still cheaper than Nivida though, pretty sure.
My last hand-built system was all AMD, but it's an FX-8350 which was way cheaper than Intel back them. The one I'm using now is Intel/Nvidia, but it's all hardware I got for free when my ex's firm upgraded their workstations.
