Not PCIe 5, as I expected.  Plus your internal slots are finite, so once 
you fill them, what's your system maintenance plan for what then to do?
Or do you not actually have a lifecycle plan & you're just winging it?

You do, if you want to have performance parity with the Macs that you've 
whined as being overpriced...especially since you've claimed to have a 
"high end" system.

That's still trying to deflect, which is that you're doing a crappy job 
of protecting your data, which means that it has ~zero worth to you.
