It looks like a clean build.

Only thing I would look into, is getting either 2 or 4 sticks of RAM, IDK if you can use just 3

i7 6700k, GTX 1080, Crucial MX 300, Maximus VII Hero, WD Blue, 16 GB RAM

with all these expensive parts i would go with a gold rated PSU as well of the same wattage.

Will also get a better cooler for the CPU.

Looks okay, but Windows isn't needed. You can get a pretty good quality PSU with the money from the windows saved

Bronze PSUs arent really that bad, but I do agree, if you have a 9700k

That is a bad choice in cooling especially for an i7-9700K. Surely you can go for something a bit more premium such as a be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

i didnt do 12 gb of ram i did 2 sticks of corsair 8 gb meaning same thing i dont order from newegg due to the outrageous pricing for shipping. as for windows how do you suggest i have a operating system without always having that watermark at the bottom of the screen. also from my knowledge that z390 board you used doesnt have wifi build in

memory express maybe cheaper but charges much more for shipping. i didnt go with the m.2 ssd because i wanted nvme support not just SSD as for psu i dont know much about Seasonic so i will have to do some research. the rtx 2060 is not that cheap from a place from any other store other than vuugo which i then have to pay other fees to get which is why i stuck with a 1660 ti.

I got a Rosewill lepton 500W 80+ Gold for $50 USD or $66 CAD. Thats 6 more dollars than the one you have.

If you're only gaming on the PC NVMe is useless to you. Do you have another use case?

3 sticks of RAM is not a good use of money, and the people talking about windows being cheaper are I assume saying that you can just buy a windows key off ebay for about 7 bucks. No one on here outright says it but Im betting that's an option.

i dont trust ebay to buy anything and never will. i think i will justify within myself for that extra cost. as for 3 sticks of ram i had meant to only put 2 8 gb sticks into it.

That makes more sense than, that's why the other guy said 12 gigs of ram, he must have read it as 3 sticks of 4 gb or is just having a bad math day lol. As for not trusting ebay, I understand your reservations, im guessing some people just figure its worth the 7-10 dollar risk as opposed to spending 124$. Also you didn't mention, do you have a monitor and other peripherals already? And you said you aren't using this for gaming right now, what are your actual uses? Might be easier to build a system in your budget with those answers, who know, maybe you're better suited for a Ryzen set up in which case all of this can change

Well there you go, if you take out the third stick of ram that should be able to make up for the better cooler and PSU.

if it's money you're worried about, get a cheaper case. if it's Nvme, the faster loading times isn't gonna make it anymore 'futureproof' than a sata ssd. if it's wifi, the board already has it.
