Hello, I am a 14 year old building my first computer, a 9900k/z390/RTX 2070 system, with an h150i cooler with 3 LL120 fans, and 3 extra 120mm corsair LL fans. I don't how I am supposed to plug in 6 PWM fans, the pump, and the RGB along with a cable mod RGB strip. Do I use fan/rgb hubs? Can someone please help me I am kind of a newb.

Please give full name for mobo. And case if you have decided on which. For RGB you might need to get Corsairs hub and connect that with USB. That might be easiest. Fans you can probably just connect to mobo, with splitters.

 

As side note, you are going kinda high-end as first computer and that age. i9 is probably overkill, its mainly good if you are streamer, content creator or otherwise need raw CPU power. For just gaming i7 will be enough, maybe bit overkill even there.

Asus Rog Strix Z390-E mobo. Corsair Spec-Omega RGB Newegg Edition. Thanks for the tip. I know its a little overkill but my dad wanted to build a gaming pc for me. He said he wanted to pay around $3,000. I can give the pc part picker list if you'd like.

Please post the PCPP list.  If you're spending 3k on a computer and it doens't have a 2080ti and top tier board you're doing it wrong.

Get a Corsair Commander Pro. Should do the job. OR you can use Corsair Obsidian 1000d as the case. It has a commander pro built-in.

You don’t need 32 Gigs of RAM, trust me. 16GB should do.

 

@lain399 get cheaper RAM and get a better mobo

Just for future reference what would whopping amounts of ram do? What is it used for?

If you want a lot of applications to be opened at the same time you need more RAM. 8GB are the minimum in 2019, 16GB is the best for games and 32GB and higher is for workstations or people with a lot of chrome tabs

Also don’t buy that motherboard, try Aorus Master z390 by Gigabyte. With that one you will be able to OC the cpu to 5ghz. Your AIO is beefy

You could go cheaper on the Mobo if you stick with the i5, or just get an i7 9700K. For just gaming the i5 at 5GHz will be fine though, my 5GHz 8600K kept up with a 1080 Ti or SLI 1080s at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K. 200fps solid at 1440p ultra with SLI 1080s, so it can pump out the frames easily.

If you are planning a custom loop in the future or NVLink get the Founders Edition
