New High End Partial Build

DatGamingBuild · September 5, 2019

Have a system probably 2-3 Generations old, looking to upgrade. (Could even consider custom water cooling loop)

I am a hardcore gamer and very big multitasker (found with 30+ chrome tabs open all the time) so I want some amazing performance.

Budget: $1500+(can go more if needed for big improvements)

So have : VERY large great case(has room for 360MM top rad ect) , GTX 1080 Ti, all Peripherals, monitor, x1 M.2 Samsung 970 Pro

Need: CPU (Intel ), Cooling, Memory, Motherboard with x2 M.2 Slots, x1 M.2 Samsung 970 Pro (Thinking to put them in Raid?), PSU (1000 Watt)

Essentially full build except Graphics card

This is the build I am considering:

Any edits?

Used to love spending the hours and hours on research on what was the best, but nowadays i found myself lacking on time. Hopefully some enthusiast cccan put together an awesome parts list!

Edit: Prefer Intel, Yes i know AMD is rocking right now, just a personal preference is all.

I'm not exactly an expert about liquid coolers and psus, but i'd obviously suggest to get a ryzen 9 3900x (12 cores and 24 threads to open all the chrome tabs you need) and an Asus x570 Tuf Wifi, 200 dollars board that support 2 m2 slots and with pcie gen 4, meaning you can get some really nice nvme ssds. For ram i'd obviously go for 32, but again there are specific models of ram that perform better on ryzen 3000 and i'm not confident enough to suggest about that

I went a little higher end.

You don't need 1000 watts though.
