Hi,

I want to build high end pc but I am gona buy the parts one by one month after month. I already have a pc, I want to use its parts as much as possible until I get the new parts. Parts I want to get are as follows :

CPU : AMD Ryzen 9 3900X

Motherboard : I need suggestions on this part. Probably a x570 but I am not sure. I don't need anything from motherboard like Wireless connections etc. I rather have
the best compatible motherboard with my SSD and GPUs. Preferably 128gb max Ram capacity. I can do 8x16gb or 4x32gb. Before I buy the GPU I want to use my old Ati Radeon HD 5970 if I can ( can I? ) with the new motherboard, if not possible ( compatibility issues ) it is ok. I also want to use my old HD103SJ ( can I? ) until I buy the HDD, if I can't it is ok.

RAM : Like I said I can do 8x16gb or 4x32gb. Performance prefered. Again I will but the rams overtime one by one.

GPU : Two 2080Ti but I can use suggestions on which one. Again I will but them overtime one by one.

SSD : NVMe Force MP600

PSU : I think I am looking at something over 862 W. I can use suggestions here too.

Thanks in advance.

That's a horrible way to build a PC, you're going to end up paying way too much for half of it, and half of it could be obsolete by the time you're done building (depending on how long it's going to take you). Save up, and build it all at once.

 

You missed some of the most important aspects, like budget and what you plan on using the PC for. For example, very few people need 128GB of RAM. Frankly if you're using that much, I'd question why you're not on ThreadRipper. Same with SLI...very, very rarely does that make any kind of sense.

 

Yes, you can use your old parts.

I realized I will be getting 64gb of ram for AMD Ryzen 9 3900X. My old setup is more than 12 years old, I am out of patience. Also it is not gona take much time. 
I am trying not to limit myself about budget. My life is my pc. I will be using mostly for gaming and rarely video editing.
Thanks for the welcome :)

The 3600 makes more sense, paired with ether 16GB or 32GB of RAM. There's no need for the 3900x, or the 64GB of RAM. They're wastes of money.

Same with SLI, and an 850w PSU.

How long is "not much time"?

Considering I probably wont be getting a new pc for the next 10+ years, I rather not hold back and get 3600.
9 - 12 months, maybe a bit shorter for 2 GPU, 4x16gb, SSD.
