Kinda gets under my skin that every time I see someone give away codes, etc  and do something like this, you rarely ever see the person that gets it pop back on to say thank you.  Maybe I’m a tool, idk.

Unless this guy is needing Remote Desktop and running a bunch of VMs in another room, yet still needing advice on pc parts, win10 home is just fine.  As it is for most everyday users

2 were ips, the other 2 VA.  The x35 I have now is VA and ghosting is a non issue for me, but on my 1080 z35 it was terrible.  And I would never suggest spending that much on a monitor, I did and I love it, but believe me I know it's stupid.  As for the LG 38, my buddy has one, it's really nice from what I've seen of it.  The only drawback for me was it's only hdr 400 if I'm not mistaken.  But for you that might not even matter.

Not worth it.  If you have money to blow to upgrade from a 9900k to a ks,  then a new mobo shouldn't be an issue.  Wait on 10th gen or ryzen if your heart is set on a better cpu.

it's not about hysteria,
 
it's about basic human decency. If the response to a virus outbreak anywhere in the world is "muh PC prices" then i think your priorities are very much in the wrong order.
 
I'm not telling OP to go over to China and solve the virus, i'm saying "don't be disrespectful to those suffering"

...seriously?
 
There's a deadly virus spreading throughout China and filtering though to other countries, over a 1500 people have died in less than a month and almost 70,000 infected (probably more), and you're concerned about PC prices?

Dude that is beyond absurd, I would be irate.  Had a similar thing happen at microcenter a couple years back, bought a open box PG348Q, sticker said good on it, brought it home, corner of the screen was cracked from clearly being dropped.  noticed the sticker was over another one, peeled it back and sure as s*** the yellow sticker said cracked screen on it.  In my case I threw a giant bitch fit and had unmistakable proof they were shady, they gave me a brand new one for the same price as open box.  Best of luck on your RMA.

No SSD?

I have a CDL and used to drive over the road also.  I know you said you dont want laptops, but i used to have a Nvidia 900 series MSI Titan laptop with desktop 980s SLI'd.  Those things are the real deal, albeit heavy, low battery life and are like ovens.  You can get killer performance from a laptop, you just have to be willing to part with battery life and a s*** ton of money.   And for reference, I have identical desktop specs to you, literally.  And I'm watching it all on an X35 Predator, so i completely understand not wanting performance loss.  Just a personal opinion from someone in your shoes.

Stay well away from this. $500 for these parts (eventhough most are terrible non-brands) is ridiculous.
 
All you'll get from meeting them is a couple of stab wounds and you'll be down $500.

I mean, a lot of those YouTube Downloaders are pretty sketchy. It could have come from there. 

Do you buy from the US? If you are able to use the rebate, the Focus Gold 550W is available for $45. A nice 7 year warranty, semi modular, plenty of wattage, and (assuming it's close to the FX), very good electrical performance
