I think I've gotten this build basically optimized, but I'm not sure if I'm already there or if I can do one or two tweaks to the build

Why ryzen over intel? I would be using this strictly for gaming, plus the 2080 ti being the most powerful is very attractive. I understand that you got it to be cheaper, but why a super over a 2080 ti other than the price? Thanks in advance!

So many reasons, almost too many reasons. Go buy the 9700K and 2080Ti if you want them that bad. I will almost guarantee that you'll will regret it in a year or two.

Price for performance, price for what you get between the 3700x and the 9700k. The 3700x is just much better value

 

2080S' performance is too close to the 2080 Ti's to make it justifiable. If you feel like the 5-7 fps is worth your 400$ then go for it, but it would be a waste in the current market.

I understand the whole 2080 ti scenario. Just with the rzyen over intel, I thought intel was better for gaming, and ryzen having more cores/threads allows for better multitasking and whatnot? Plus an intel 9700k doesnt seem that much more expensive than a 3700x, being only 30-40 bucks extra or so.

What reasons? Honestly, it's not that money is a problem, because I can afford it, but if you could list the reasons if you don't mind then I would most likely choose that build over the one I showed. I just had the notion that the 9700K was better than the ryzen for gaming specifically

There's so many factors to why the 3700x is just a much better option right now, compared to intel's i7.

 

The 9700k is just barely better for games. Barely. The 3700x has hyperthreading, better power management, etc.

 

If you really want the best to get right now, get yourself a 9900k.

I see I see. Would you think those things mainly only matter when you're running demanding games at 4k? I'm fairly certain both builds here can run games at 1440p 144fps, so those differences probably would only matter in 4k right? 

I plan on playing with a 1440p monitor anyway, so that's why I mention it.

[Slottr]

1440p 144 fps is still decently difficult to run. You'll see a difference in any resolution.

Alright, thank you for your time in answering questions; I hope I'm not overwhelming you with them. I just have three more questions:
1) on pcpartspicker, it notes this at the bottom: "Note:The Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS (WI-FI) ATX AM4 Motherboard has an additional 4-pin ATX power connector but the Corsair RMx (2018) 550 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply does not. This connector is used to supply additional 12V current to the motherboard. While the system will likely still run without it, higher current demands such as extreme overclocking or large video card current draws may require it."

Does this mean that it only supplies an extra 12V? and if so is that just negligible?

2) do you think getting a ryzen with it's more cores/threads would make it better for futureproofing, since games might use more cores/threads in the future, or would that be way too long into the future to where at that point, you'd most likely just get an entirely new cpu altogher?
 

and 3) how come a 550w psu over a 750 w psu? Most people recommended a 750w psu, and while pcpartspicker does state only around 419w for your build, generally people recommended a bit higher than 550w.

thanks in advance.

 

[Slottr]

For 1: If you intend to overclock, look at a different power supply. Something like a whisper M is the same price, its a good unit.

 

2: Futureproofing doesn't really exist as we don't know what will come in the future. So in that regard, I just get what is the best within my budget at the time of buying.

 

3: There's no point buying a 750w unit if your system is only going to use like 2/3 of that on load. People "recommend" higher wattage units because it makes them feel safe with headroom. When in reality they already have a good amount.

1) The extra 4-pin is only necessary if you plan on overclocking the system, if you don't then it is completely un-needed.

2)"Future-proofing" isn't a thing. Buying the best you can afford at the time will make it less likely for you to need to upgrade but it will never prevent it.

3) A 550w power supply is more than capable of running either system without an issue. You only need a bigger PSU if you plan on overclocking HEAVILY or are running dual GPUs.

Alright, here's what I got. I chose an extra 650w psu from whisper m, since it was only an extra 7 bucks. I figured an extra 7 bucks wouldn't hurt, so here's the build, and the price tag is much more appealing now to me, but I DO intend on overclocking my gpu (but not heavily) and maybe my cpu. Thank you, you've actually somewhat convinced me on your build since it's cheaper and the performance is nearly the same with the with ryzen/intel and 2080ti/super

Glad I could help lol

 

If I had only one more thing to add, would be to get a case with more airflow. Meshify C has great airflow, theres a good handful of others that do too.

On the bottom it still says that there's issues with the 12v, but since it says it's only a problem if I'm heavily overclocking (which I won't be doing, just overclocking a bit), then it should be fine right?
Also, here's a new case, being now just $1.7k in total
Thanks for the help, I'm relatively new to pc building and I've been planning the first build for a solid few weeks, so while I know a few things here and there I'm not quite as experienced.

The 750W unit has the second connector, but if you're just mildly OC'ing I wouldnt worry about it. That unit is only about 7$ more for reference.

 

Everything else looks fine though, I'm glad I could help

Alright, interestingly enough I managed to find a 750 W, and the total came to around the same price. So, I suppose this is now my finalized build. Thanks! 
I originally chose the 2080 ti and intel i7-9700k combo since both are more powerful, but as you and others have said previously, it's a lot more for so little performance boost. I figured since I had the budget, just had to wait until i get paid a few more times, that I would go with it, but since this is so much more cheaper for virtually just the same or just barely under the performance of the build that I had, I think this is more than great. I should actually be able to afford this next time I get paid, and since I desperately need a new pc (I currently have a crappy 2011 gtx 580 in an old computer that crashes very often), I would like to get a new pc asap. Thanks for the help!

Also, quick note, I heard that the ryzen 3700x comes with its own CPU cooler, isn't that true? And if so, I don't need the noctua fan at all, right?

It does, and it's decent!

However, I use a 3600 and have a D15, it's amazing. Though I like overclocking

Ah, nice! Would you recommend using the stock heatsink/cooler or using the noctua fan? Without it, it's a solid 1600 dollars, very cheap, and extremely powerful for what it's worth

If you don't intend on OC'ing too much but just want to dabble, stick with the stock cooler as of right now
