SECOND BUILD AFTER 10 y

[Saxynugget]

Hello, please excuse my English as it is not my native language   

I love gaming as long as I can remember my self so the build is intended for gaming but at same time to be able to handle some workload (Solidworks, Adobe After Effects, Premier etc). I play games like Rainbow Six Siege, Tomb Raider and other similar to these two. 

 

My goal is to get as much performance possible while not having to upgrade for as long as possible.

THE BUDGET ~2500€  (SYSTEM + MONITOR)

I tried doing some research and ended up with this list:

 no intel, went AMD. much cheaper and you dont lose much at 1440p. also went EVGA card, as customer service is much better than asus's if something goes wrong. got the same size ssd, but went for a 2tb hard drive too. also got a very nice motherboard, non rgb ram but save 40 bucks, and a bigger psu (for 6 euro more) but the same brand.

The thing is that I am a bit afraid of going AMD. 
Especially after watching Is AMD a Good Option in 2018??, maybe I need to look more into it.

For right NOW, if all you are going to do is gaming, Intel is still the best option. Ryzen 3000 MIGHT change that, but at this point there's no way to tell. Rumors have it releasing in early July, so if you want to wait and see if AMD takes the crown, do that, otherwise go with what's best now, which again is Intel.

 

If you do other things outside of gaming like rendering, streaming, or high productivity workloads of any kind then AMD is the king right now.

Just a few overall changes:

 

Motherboard: For around the same price I'd go with the Gigabyte Aorus Master Z390 instead. The reason is better VRM quality (which translates to better and more stable overclocking, if you care about that at all).

 

CPU Cooler: For a few Euros more I'd get the NH-D15 instead. It's better cooling overall and the 9700K is a warmer chip. Again, this'll give you your best overclocking potential as well, if you care about that.

I also changed the PSU for compatibility with the motherboard (2x 8-pin connectors for the CPU). The build works out to be a few Euros more, but it is a higher overall quality.

As for a monitor: I can't recommend anything better than this one for within your overall budget:

 

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/product/sqp323/acer-monitor-xf270hu

 

It's an IPS panel, 4ms response time, 1440p, and Freesync. The Freesync for this monitor does work with the RTX 2080. Here's a reddit thread where users have tested Freesync Nvidia compatibility (compatible being working functionality without tearing or flickering) :
