I’m upgrading to a new laptop (unfortunately, a desktop is not viable for me right now). It’s a VR gaming machine, with some potential work with machine learning (me learning about it). I’ve got a system option, but it’s into price flinching territory, and wanted a once over, from those more in the know.
Are there any obvious flaws in it, and is it reasonable for the price?

It prices up at €2,809.31 (£2,484.57 or $3,130.80) including shipping and taxes.
It’s worth noting the system comes with an optional external water cooling system, so the CPU and GFX are less thermally limit, when it’s plugged in. It also has a proper keyboard, not the normal membrane ones.
What are people’s opinions? It is a reasonable price, or am I way too far up the diminishing returns slope?
