What's your budget and location? Do you need a monitor and/or peripherals? If you already have a monitor, what resolution and refresh rate is it?

Not sure what size monitor you want but this has a 34" 3440 x 1440 G-Sync monitor. I haven't included a Mouse/Keyboard/W10.

 

You could go with a cheaper board. The Master has the best VRM apart from the Xtreme on Gigabyte's Z390 lineup. Any of the Aorus boards will handle an i9 though.
