I have not built a PC since 2007 and have been trying to catch back up with all of the changes. I am building the PC for mainly gaming, some very light work being done as well. My budget is $2,500.00. Here is a list of parts that I am thinking about. The only part that I will not change is the case as it goes with a theme of my home office. I keep going back and forth between getting the i7 8700k and either getting an NVME M.2 drive in place of the SSD or going from a 2080 to a 2080 ti. What is everyones thoughts? Thanks in advance for the guidance!
