Hello LTT Forums!

 

I am building a PC for myself after being off in mac land for a while. After watching LTTs videos for the last 3 months it has inspired me to dive back into the PC Gaming Seen. I will be building this PC with some parts from the Shop/black Friday sales. But would love some feedback about this build. Its Intel since I have been out in Mac land (Due to employment Requirements) and would like to dual boot to macOS if needed. I would like to have RGB in the new pc and would prefer everything to be under the same ecosystem. So far, I have landed on ASUS AURA Sync. But I Am not attached to it as long as I can get full integration with something. Thanks for your thoughts in advance!

 

Here is what I have planned so far:

Case: NZXT H700 in Blue (Own)

Motherboard: Asus - PRIME Z390-A ATX LGA1151 Motherboard (Looking at, Not sure if the best Choice) 

CPU: i7 9700k (Own)

GPU: Thinking something in the RTX 20 series but not sure what budget is around $600

Cooler: Asus - ROG RYUO 240 RGB 80.95 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler (Looking at, Not sure if the best Choice)  

RAM: G.SKILL TridentZ RGB 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200 F4-3200C16D-16GTZR (Looking at, Not sure if the best Choice) 

Storage: 970 Evo NVMe SSD (own)

Power Supply: Corsair RMx 1000 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX (own)

Everything is integrated under Gigabyte's RGB Fusion. Gigabyte's Z390 motherboards are chosen because they have the best VRM out of the competitors. For monitor you should pick one with higher refresh rate since you will game on it, and if possible one with G-Sync.
