Hello everyone! 

I’m foram europe! And planning a new build with a budget of around 2500€.

The goal is to be able to max out many of the AAA games that are out already and the ones being released in the next 2-3 years! I’m pairing this build with a DELL Alienware AW3418DW 3440x1440p monitor!

 

I7-9700k (425 euros)

EVGA rtx 2080 ti 11 GB (1150 euros)

NZXT H500i (105 euros)

Motherboard GigaByte Z390 Aorus Pro WiFi (165 euros)

Noctua NH-D15 (90 euros)

Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4-3200MHz CL16 (130 euros)

Samsung 970 EVO 1TB (230 euros)

EVGA Supernova 650 G3 (110 euros)

 

Total 2400 euros

 

Is this build any good for the objective. It’s my first time building a pc so i’m really a beginner. Any help would be appreciated!

 

Thank you very much!

the case doesnt have enough headroom for the big air cooler and the airflow isn't that good from the start. Change that to something say Corsair's 270R/275R, Fractal Define C/Meshify C, Cooler Master H500 Mesh etc.

 

Also include enough case fans to fill in all the fan mounts to give better airflow.

It should just about fit, as the D15 is listed as 165mm with the fan, and the H500i takes up to 165mm. The Meshify would be a good change though.

Yeah, enough to make manufacturing tolerances screw you over. My D15 is just tall enough to scratch my friend's H500i on the side panel with a heatpipe.

The perils of having a Glass side panel ? Anyway the Meshify would solve that potential issue.
