Gaming PC build

Andrijaaa · September 23, 2019

1. Budget & Location

So, my budget is 8000€ and I live in Germany.

2. Aim

Aim is to build best gaming pc (i9-9900k, RTX 2080Ti, Asus Maximus XI Extreme, 64GB ddr4) on which I could edit as well. I need help on selecting right memory, case etc. I know it can't get better than i9-9900k, RTX 2080Ti and Maximus XI Extreme, can it?

3. Monitors

I've picked two Dell AW2518H 240Hz 1ms which are G-Sync compatible, so I don't think I need to pick other monitor, unless there are better ones.

4. Peripherals

I've chose to go with SteelSeries, so Apex Pro for keyboard, Rival 650 wireless for mouse, Arctis Pro + GameDAC for headphones and QCK Prism Cloth XL for mousepad since I love their products.

5. Why are you upgrading?

I have a Acer Predator Helios-300 for gaming, and randomly I get fps drop to 2 - 3 and it's very annoying, almost broke it on half one time. I want this to look cool as well have a high performance. My first plan was getting everything from Corsair(eg. Case, Fans, AIO, Memory, Power Supply, etc.) but I discovered that they have pretty lame E-ATX compatible cases, and wondered if there are still other brands that are compatible with Corsair RGB sync? If not, I would like to change the whole rig. And please spare no money, at least 2x Samsung 970 PRO 1TB and 1x Samsung 860 EVO 2TB should be in the build.

Thank you.

Why are you going with 1080p monitors ? That makes no sense if you are serious with the budget. Unless you are a competitive gamer I wouldn't bother with 1080p 240Hz. I would rather have a 34" 3440 x 1440 144Hz.

Also you not considering Ryzen ?

The 64GB Ram also seems a bit extreme if you are not doing editing for a living.

I'm going with dual 1080p 240Hz only because I'm competitive gamer, I don't think there are 1440p+ 240Hz that have G-Sync and 1ms.

Well, is Ryzen really better than i9-9900k? And is Maximus XI Extreme the best motherboard?

I'm working as web designer, but also edit video/audio/pictures and I have PhpStorm, Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign opened almost always, on that Chrome with 15 - 20 tabs... Those extra 32GB wont have any affect on my gaming performance and I wouldn't need to worry much about not having enough memory to pop another tab in Photoshop.

Hello there,

I couldn't find the Asus Maximus XI Extreme on the German market so i added a Gigabyte one (still EATX). Same for the keyboard i couldn't find it on PCP.

You still have 2k€ to spend on more RGB if you want (LL120 or HD120 corsair fans for example, some HDDs for storage and the price of a keyboard ofc).

How are you going to game across two monitors though ? You will have the bezels in the centre.

If you want every last frame then the 9900K will be faster, but you could get a 3900X for the money you are spending. As for best board you have the Gigabyte Aorus Xtreme, MSI Godlike and Asus Maximus XI Apex which all have a 16 phase VRM. They are all overkill though.

https://www.reddit.com/r/intel/comments/9vorl1/z390_vrm_tier_list/

Have you thought about asking a pc store to build you a system with a custom loop ? The 9900K does run hot especially when overclocked.

You have places like Caseking in Germany who do some nice systems. Or if you are happy building yourself you can get kits from places like EKWB.com.

I'm gonna game on one monitor, second one will just sit there with Spotify, Chrome open or something...

Is 3900X better? I saw a lot of complaints about it, from mobo bios to overclocking it to stable. I don't think I'll spend that much time tweaking it. Yeah, but I would have to go with custom loop for those mobo. Maybe Gigabyte Aorus Xtreme? I have to check every spec.

Yeah I thought about that, but 9900K at 5.0 GHz does run quite good on 360mm AIO, saw a lot different AIO tho, they all pretty much perform the same, of course it depends on voltage and frequency, but on high load it gets 70 ~ low 80 C and idle between 20 ~ 30 C. I'm building it myself since I love doing it, but custom loop is overkill and it takes a lot of time for making and caring afterwards.

The 3900x is better value I think and runs cooler so you wouldn't need a custome loop. The Aorus Xtreme would be totally overkill but is indeed EATX and would allow an easy OC (and the other features).

The 9900k will run at 5Ghz on a 360mm aio and probably on 240/280mm.

Just go with a regular 60Hz for the 2nd screen then. No need for 240Hz for web browsing and spotify etc.

There are probably still a few bios bugs to iron out as the 3900X is still fairly new and availability is also a bit hit and miss. There are people running that cpu with no issues though so hard to say if you would have the same experience as every system is different.

You can get 9900K cpu's that have been delidded but they cost more money. They run cooler though and should overclock better than one that hasn't been modded. Places like Caseking (Der8auer) have them but I am sure there are other retailers as well.

If you don't mind a non RGB cooler then Alphacool do the Eisbaer/Eisbaer Extreme range which are very good. The Extreme uses BeQuiet Silent Wings 3 fans.

As for the motherboard the Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Xtreme would be what I would go with if money is no object

Blind X · September 24, 2019

You can get a 3440x1440 monitor with 144Hz refresh rate for competitive gaming as going from 144Hz-240Hz isn't the sort of gap you feel coming from a 60Hz to 144. Also more resolution means more crisp to the eye and when you have the budget to buy cards that can easily throw 144+ average maxed out in any AAA tilte at that resolution then why not.

Also no need to get 240Hz display for Chrome and Spotify. 60Hz will do the job there but just get a good IPS monitor with a higher 2560x1440 reso.

As for the CPU 3900X is definitely a better option. See if you are one who judge benchmark scores and want to squeeze every last frame out of your machine then the 9900K will surely perform better in games. But in real life performance, if you remove the fps overlay you won't even be able to tell which system has the i9 and which one has the 3900X. No need to tell the Ryzen will perform significantly better in multi-tasking and video editing because of 50% higher core count. If money isn't an issue then pair it with the Aorus XTREME which has 16 phase VRM, though overkill for 12 cores but thats the best you could do with X570.

You will need SLI to be able to rock all games maxed at that resolution with insane fps. And 2080 Tis in SLI can pull 120 fps at 4K in tomb Raider with everything maxed out so no need to worry about frame drops with 2 of them at a lower reso.

At this point I wouldn't even bother going for the 860 EVO. The 970 Evo Plus is the best so just grab 2 of their 2TB versions and boi is that fast.

The best RGB fans that perform extremely quiet are the ML series from Corsair so have included them in the build along with the 3440x1440 Ultra Wide monitor with IPS Panel 144Hz refresh rate and HDR (HDR isn't the strong point though but heyy... Having it is better)

Okay, so I've finally decided with specs, thank you guys for replying I got plenty ideas from you.

So, after a lot of research I agreed on buying Intel processor simply because I don't want to wait for stable bios for AMD, there is a lot of hate right now since a lot of guys are getting CPU errors, not even booting, BIOS problems etc.

After thinking about monitors I think @Blind X is right, I'll go with monitors as he suggested.

So here are the current specs(I don't have them on PCPP so bare with me )

CPU: Intel Core i9-9900k R0

CPU COOLER: Asus ROG RYUJIN 360

THERMAL COMPOUND: Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut

MOBO: Asus ROG Maximus XI Extreme

RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 64 GB DDR4-3200 - white

GPU: Asus GeForce RTX 2080 Ti ROG MATRIX

SSD: 2x Samsung 970 PRO 1TB + 1x Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2TB

POWER SUPPLY: Corsair AX1000W 80+ Titanium

FANS: 2x Corsair LL120 PRO RGB (3 pack w/Lighting Node PRO) - white

CASE: Thermaltake View 71 TG Snow

CABLE MOD: Corsair Premium Pro Sleeved Cable-Set (Gen 4) - red

MONITORS: 1. BenQ GW2765HT 27.0" 2560x1440 60 Hz

2. LG 34GK950F-B 34.0" 3440x1440 144 Hz

MOUSE: SteelSeries Rival 650 Wireless

MOUSEPAD: SteelSeries Qck Prism Cloth XL

KEYBOARD: SteelSeries Apex Pro

HEADSET: SteelSeries Pro Wireless + GameDAC

As you can see, there is white/red/black theme going on, as for specs I think that will be an absolute monster of a computer.

Thank you all again.

THERMAL COMPOUND: Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut

I don't think that you need thermal paste since a thermal compound is pre-applied on the Asus ROG RYUJIN 360 other than that it looks good

You could consider https://www.asus.com/Gaming-Case/ROG-Strix-Helios/ and https://www.asus.com/ROG-Republic-Of-Gamers/ROG-THOR-850P/ (or the 1200w version) for more Asus stuff

Yeah, but I don't trust the "pre-applied" thermal compound and buying it is much better solution, since that pre-applied compound may be really cheap and do a terrible job in removing air gaps plus 9900k likes to run hot. I would really hate after 4 - 5 months of hard use to get AIO off and put my own thermal compound because I would start getting blue screen of death, since I could've done it at the beginning. And Grizzly Kryonaut is one of the best there is, so I can't make a mistake with that.

1. Don't go for the 970 PRO. 970 Evo Plus is just as good, grab 2 of them and you will save money for similar performance.

2. Get the G.Skill Trident Z RGB. It is compatible with the Asus AuraSync.

3. You have decided to go with a single GPU setup. Just to remind you in case you are missing that. At that resolution the benefits are obvious with SLI.

4. If you are sticking with a single GPU then 650W is more than enough. Even 550W will do the job so no need to spend massive amount of money here.

As I've already said, saving money isn't my goal here, and if 970 PRO is better then 970 EVO Plus even for 1%, so be it. But maybe changing 860 EVO with 970 EVO Plus would be a good idea. - So it turns out that running 2x 970 PRO 1TB and 1x 860 EVO 2TB is 10€ cheaper then 2x 970 EVO Plus 2TB. But running with 2x 970 PRO 1TB and 1x 970 EVO Plus 2TB is around 100€ more expensive then 2x 970 PRO 1TB and 1x 860 EVO 2TB, so I think I'll upgrade that. And, since I'm using MAXIMUS XI Extreme, there are 2x M.2 slots on mobo plus 2x M.2 extender.

I have to check which is better Corsair Vengeance or G.Skill Trident Z, but thanks for heads up, didn't even know that.

SLi is getting worse and worse today even with NVLink since a lot of "new" games don't bother to adjust it for DX12/Vulkan and I would be probably better of with single RTX 2080 Ti than in SLi.

I'm going with this AX1000 simply because it's 80+ Titanium and if I decide later to get another ROG MATRIX 2080 Ti (if support gets better for NVLink and/or SLi) so I don't have to upgrade it afterwards one more time, it won't use the whole 1000W, it'll use as much as required so it doesn't mind to have a few W extra.

Andrijaaa · September 25, 2019

@Blind X I can't find the answer anywhere, figured maybe you know something. There is this new "G.Skill Trident Z Neo" memory out. And everywhere it says that "it has been optimized for AMD Ryzen series", so does that mean that I can't run it with i9-9900k? I don't understand how it couldn't be compatible, but maybe there is something.

Andrijaaa · September 25, 2019

Okay, I've found on G.Skill's site that it indeed is compatible with ASUS ROG MAXIMUS XI Extreme/Intel Z390 chipset. Just what I can see on Caseking's site, Trident Z Neo Series, DDR4-3200, CL16 costs 429,90€ and Trident Z Neo Series, DDR4-3600, CL16 costs 509,60€, both being 64 GB kits.

Is there a serius performance upgrade from 3200MHz to 3600MHz(both being CL16) for 80€?

I think it's just to tell you that it's optimized for Ryzen for commercial purposes.

Yes these RAMs are optimized for Ryzen with higher colcks and less timings as Ryzen benefits with it. But RAM is RAM and is also compatible with Maximus XI and i9. Not a very huge difference but if you grab the 3600 cas16 kit and tweak the timings to cas15 or even 14 than it would be great.

Andrijaaa · September 25, 2019

@Blind X @Plouffe I've currently selected these G.Skill Trident Z Neo 64 GB CL16 3600MHz.

So that makes my current specs:

CPU: Intel Core i9-9900k R0

CPU COOLER: Asus ROG RYUJIN 360

RAM: G.Skill Trident Z Neo 64 GB DDR4-3600(CL16)

SSD: 2x Samsung 970 PRO 1TB + 1x Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2TB

POWER SUPPLY: Corsair AX1000W 80+ Titanium

FANS: 2x Antec Prizm 120mm ARGB 3 Pack (can't find any better addressable RGB with aura sync )

CASE: Thermaltake View 71 TG Snow

CABLE MOD: Corsair Premium Pro Sleeved Cable-Set (Gen 4) - red

MONITORS: 1. BenQ GW2765HT 27.0" 2560x1440 60 Hz

2. LG 34GK950F-B 34.0" 3440x1440 144 Hz

MOUSE: SteelSeries Rival 650 Wireless

MOUSEPAD: SteelSeries Qck Prism Cloth XL

KEYBOARD: SteelSeries Apex Pro

HEADSET: SteelSeries Pro Wireless + GameDAC

Is anything more to upgrade here?

Yeah, I picked a DX Racing r0-NW Gaming for that, not the best but still, it's a gaming chair.

September 25, 2019

Gigabyte option ?

I haven't included peripherals as you already know what you want there.

The Phanteks Enthoo Luxe 2 is a lovely looking case (imo). The built in lighting is compatible with Gigabyte RGB Fusion.

The Cooler Master AIO is also Gigabyte Fusion ready. They do sell ARGB fans as well if you wanted to change them.

One of the best versions of the 2080 ti as it has a built in 240mm AIO. Not sure if the fans are standard RGB or ARGB but again you could probably change them. The Phanteks case also allows for the gpu to be mounted vertically so you get a full view of it.

The best Z390 board imo. Costs a pretty packet, but if you are spending this much money then why not.

Adata SX8200 Pro is a solid SSD.

I doubt SLI support is making a comeback any time soon. Also the HXi supports multi rail config.

Not sure if the case has any pre-installed fans or not. It doesn't show any in the pics or mention it on Phanteks website, so not sure on that.

Same monitor as above and also a 2nd 34" 3440 x 1440 60Hz from LG for the 2nd screen.

For the Thermal paste check out the Noctua NT-H2. I have seen a few people over on Overclockers UK having issues with the Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut where it damaged the IHS. Not sure if it is an isolated incident or not.

I think I'll stick to Asus setup, I've spent 4 days at work to match every spec and I'm still not done. I need to find better fans and check the Corsair AX1000 80+ Titanium compability with their Corsair Premium Cable-Set (Gen 4). Can't figure out does it fit or not. Hahah

EDIT:

I've just found out that there are two (almost the same) memory kits.

1. Trident Z Neo Series, DDR4-3600, CL16 - 64 GB Quad-Kit

- CL 16-16-16-36 Latenzen

- 789,90€

2. Trident Z Neo Series, DDR4-3600, CL16 - 64 GB Quad-Kit

- CL 16-19-19-39 Latenzen

- 509,60€

Is the difference really worth 280€?

I get it that the first one is tested at CL 16-16-16-36 and is stable, but I don't think that it's so much big of a deal, am I right?

280€ is not worth it at all in that case.
