Hey guys. So there is this organization called "Make A Wish Foundation" and I am eligible to have a wish granted by them. So basically what I asked for in my wish was to have a High-End Custom gaming pc setup and I know somewhat about computers like not to buy prebuilt from retailers such as best buy and such, but not a whole lot like in-depth why this part is better than this or that. The wish granters told me to go onto a website and write down what I would like and I went onto iBUYPOWER and selected a system with these specs and wanted to know if it's considered "overkill" or if it's the right specs or what I can add/remove from the system. I want to have a pc that I will be able to stream, play AAA game, and possibly edit videos. So here are the specs (PRICE IS NOT A PROBLEM)

Case: AeroCool Quartz Revo ARGB

Case Fans: 3x NZXT AER RGB 2 120mm Fans

Processor: Intel® Core™ i9-9900KF

Processor Cooling: NZXT Kraken X72 360mm Liquid Cooling System

RAM: 32 GB [8 GB x4] DDR4-3200 Memory Module - Corsair Vengeance (RGB LED)

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti - 11GB GDDR6 - ASUS ROG STRIX

Motherboard: MSI MEG Z390 ACE -- RGB, 802.11ac WiFi, USB 3.1 (1 Type-C, 5 Rear, 4 Front)

Power Supply: 850 Watt - CORSAIR RM850X White

M.2/PCI-E SSD Card: 1 TB Samsung 970 PRO M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD

Primary Hard Drive: 6 TB Toshiba Hard Drive

Data Hard Drive: 4 TB Toshiba Hard Drive

Computer Specs Done//Onto additional items

Monitor: 2x 27" [1920x1080] MSI Optix MAG27C Curved Gaming Monitor

Keyboard: Razer Huntsman Elite Opto-Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

Mouse: Razer Lancehead Tournament Edition Black

Mouse Pad: Corsair MM300 Anti-Fray Extended Mouse Pad

Video Capture Card: Elgato Game Capture 4K60 PRO

Microphone: Blue Yeti USB Microphone

Headphones: Debating between the Razer Nari Wireless Gaming Headset or the SteelSeries Arctis 5 RGB Gaming Headset

Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

That is a very overkill system, though theres nothing wrong with that! Only thing missing is a 1KW PSU!

 

I do take issue with that case, however. RGB is cool, but your components will also no doubt run pretty toasty. Perhaps a meshify S2 with some sexy ARGB fans are in order?

 

I caution against Razer peripherals, as they have an overall poor rep. If you want a full size keyboard, the Ducky One comes to mind immediately as a high quality keyboard with Cherry switches. You could also delete the extra 4TB HDD, as one 6TB drive will be enough. I have a lot of very large games and cannot begin to fill my 4TB JBOD array, nor can I fill up my 8TB networked drive with full system images of every machine I maintain other than my Macbook Air, as well as direct rips of BluRay disks.

Brands I wholeheartedly reccomend (though do have flawed products): Apple, Razer, Corsair, Asus, Gigabyte, bequiet!, Noctua, Fractal, GSkill (RAM only)

If you are getting an RTX 2080 ti you should be looking at 1440p , ultra wide or 4k high refresh rate monitors.

Like @SenKa said a 1000 watt psu should be thrown in for good measure and to give head room for overclocking.

Finally as it is make-a-wish night as well shoot for the sky and ask for a couple a 4tb samsung ssds for data storage instead of the hard drives.

I've seen a few youtubers do make a wish builds, Jayztwocents, Der8auer, HardwareCanucks, even Linus might do you a build. Not sure how you would go about contacting them though make a wish might also be able to help.
That way you get to have a kick ass system made by professionals, they will probably want to go above and beyond for you like custom water cooling loop, ballin' peripherals, Overclock and RGB insanity.
Plus you might even get to meet them if your a fan, you got one wish so why not make it a big one?

Not sure why people are suggesting a 1000W psu. You don't need anywhere near that for a single gpu system even with overclocking. A good 650W will be more than fine.

 

Also you not considering Ryzen ? The 9900KF makes no sense anyway over the 9900K as you lose the iGPU.

Yeah I know, I should've edited it but I was looking at the  [2560x1440] ASUS ROG SWIFT PG278QR BLACK Gaming Monitors and thinking of getting those instead. So about the SSDs, should I get rid of the HDD and a Data Hard Drive and replace it with 2 4TB SSDs?

What CPU do you recommend? I honestly just went for the most reviewed one and most expensive lol.

Sounds good! But I couldn't find the Meshify S2 on the Cases tab on the iBUYPOWER website, could only choose between (iBUYPOWER, Aerocool, AZZA, be quiet!, CORSAIR, ENERMAX, GAMDIAS, InWin, NZXT, Raidmax, Thermaltake)

Ahhh, I see. A be quiet! Dark Base Pro 900 will suit you very nicely.

As you say money isn't an issue I would get a 3900X. Great cpu for streaming and video editing as well as gaming.

 

The best board would be a Gigabyte X570 Aorus Xtreme if you want to go all out. Costs a small fortune, but if someone else is paying ? 

It needs a case that can take EATX so something like the BeQuiet Dark Base 900 Rev 2 would do nicely.

 

If you want a more reasonable priced board then something like the Gigabyte X570 Aorus Pro Wifi is good.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
