My first higher end "PC" build

[set0damo]

Hello. This is my first post on this site, so if i am doing something wrong... I am sorry..

Will try to keep it short and simple. I never had system like this before and my knowledge is kinda limited when it comes to this stuff, "PC" builds and parts. I am looking for advice, tips and i guess knowledge about the computer i am trying to put together. Main questions and concerns that i have are: Is cooler good enough for the "CPU", Is motherboard good for "CPU" or should i go for something better, because i might overclock "CPU" in future, Is "GPU" good enough to keep over "100 FPS" at 2k, because i want 2k, 144hz monitor that is clear and responsive AND what monitor is good, because all of them seem to have issues with fast-paced games, issues like: ghosting, blurriness or other problems..

I will be using this "PC" For games at 2k or to be more clear 1440p over 100 "FPS", like i mentioned, maybe streaming or video editing, constant multi tasking, like running game and doing other stuff, browsing on second monitor, that i already have (Its older one, but compatible)

 

So this is the build: 

CPU: Intel Core i9-9900K;

Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX Z390-F GAMING;

CPU Cooler: Corsair Hyrdo Series H150i Pro RGB OR Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML360R RGB OR NZXT Kraken X72 360mm:

RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR4 3600MHz XMP 2.0;

Storage: SSD Samsung 860 EVO 1TB;

GPU: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2080 Ti WINDFORCE 11GB (NON-OC: But will be manually overclocked to max);

Case: Cooler Master MASTERCASE H500M;

PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 1600 G2 1600W, 80 PLUS Gold;

Monitor: Asus ROG Swift PG27VQ (Option for now).

At my local store all of it will cost me ~4 300 € and i can go up to 5000 €

 

NO Links, because part picker doesn't show some parts.... Sorry..

 

And I already have 1TB HDD + windows 10, keyboard, mouse + pad, headset.

I think that is all, any advices, suggestions, opinions will be appreciated. Thanks..

PSU: 900 to 1000, you don't need 1600 even if you want to overclock and in the future a sli

Welcome to the forum!

 

Even if you want to SLI (pointless) a 1600W PSU is so overkill, 850W would be fine. Also getting a 3600MHz kit of RAM is again unnecessary, we are reaching the point of diminishing returns. If you want RGB just get the cheapest 32GB 3000 or 3200MHz kit, you would never actually benefit for faster RAM price considered.

Get a Gigabyte Z390 Aorus board. Much better VRM's than Asus. The Aorus Ultra or Master are both at the higher end of the lineup.

Pick up a gigabyte aorus motherboar. most the Asus z390 boards have pretty bad VRMs for how much you pay.

 

Don't buy cooler master AIOS, they suck. You also don't need 32gb of RAM.

 

Last, a 650w PSU is fine.

I'd suggest getting 2x16GB of memory rather than 4x8GB. This will leave two slots free should you want a memory upgrade later. Intel cpu do not benefit a great deal from higher speed memory. Something around DDR4-3000 CL15 is usually optimal.

 

A 1600W psu is almost four times the stock max draw of the system. While an i9-9900K with power limits disabled can draw a significant amount it is doubtful that more than 700W would be needed for the system.

 

As others have suggested a Gigabyte motherboard would be a better choice if you plan to overclock.

 

I'd suggest getting RGB components that are compatible with the motherboard lighting control and synchronization protocols. Central synchronization should allow for a better light show. 

 

If you want stunning RGB, the Cooler Master aio would be the best choice. While it may not boast the quietest or best cooling, it is a very decent performer with the best lighting. https://www.hardocp.com/article/2018/08/14/cooler_master_ml360r_rgb_aio_cpu_review/4, https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/coolermaster-masterliquid-ml360r-rgb,5736-2.html

 

I've used the US pcpartpicker because it has the best part selection. Ignore the pricing.

I used "outervision" site to calculate what "PSU" i might need and it recommended me this one: EVGA SuperNOVA 1600 P2 80+ PLATINUM, but i went with one that is available in my local store. System at max load should get up to 905 W apparently, according to site i mentioned and in my opinion its fairly close.. And if i go with 1600w "PSU" it will be more efficient at above half load, atleast that is what i found reading on "PSUs". It might not be true and it might not be necessary but i might as well go overboard with it and just be safe i guess. As for "RAM", even my low budged current pc gets close to using 16gb the way i use it anyway.. And i dont want this system, that i want to build, to stop me or slow me down in anyway. And i will need as much performance as i can get for 1440p 144fps and 3600MHz can get me 1 or more extra "FPS" that is what i read anyway, so i will take it, So overboard it is :D.

Gigabyte - Z390 AORUS Motherboard might be better option, thanks.

PCPartPicker.com uses the manufacturers' max power draw spec for its stock max draw calculation. That number and the data available from several review sites suggests that a 905W max draw is significantly overstated.

 

Max load requires all eight cores and the gpu to be fully engaged. It is not something that is easily achieved for any length of time. So the 50% argument, (which is dubious at best for 80+ Platinum psu), would suggest a significantly lower capacity psu.

"Max load requires all eight cores and the gpu to be fully engaged. It is not something that is easily achieved for any length of time." Now that is a fair point, didn't think about that at all. For the most part i think i will leave "CPU" overclocking alone, atleast for a while, because i9-9900k is more than capable right out of the box for what i need, it seems, i think. And 1 core at max load definitely doesn't need that much power/watts, compared to all 8 at max load with high or similar "OC" to "main core" boost clock speed or stock speed. Thank you for pointing that out.

As for the coolers in your original post, all of them perform more or less the same. I recommend the Kraken X72, because, well, it just looks wayyy cooler. Thumbs up for the build!

[set0damo]

Will do couple changes from suggestions made. Will change "GPU" to "MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Ti GAMING X TRIO" (Seem to be the best) and motherboard to "Gigabyte Z390 AORUS MASTER" (I don't think I need to go any higher with motherboard and if i decide to put "OC" on my "CPU" this should do more than fine, i think, maybe for "RAM" to). I guess I will go with "Kraken X72" cooler to, does look fine to me. And I will try to find other "PSU", less powerful, i guess. Thanks.

Now i need to find good monitor...
