Hi, I really need build opinions

 

is what I'm getting okay?

 

--I really like RGB, so I wanna keep the rgb stuff if you suggest changes

budget is about $2900 CAD (can go to about $3000 max, just cause of taxes and stuff)

 

Use is for gaming / digital art (hobby and commission work) and possibly video editing.

2080Ti, fastest gaming card indeed but horrible value (think 2070 Super, does 75% the performance of the 2080ti for half the cost). Wont go with it since it's clearly eating into budget for other parts.

what software will you use if that's the case?

Games: Witcher 3 / COD: MW (2019) / next year games like: Cyber Punk / Doom eternal / Dying light 2 and other general games like CS:GO

Adobe Premiere for editing software, Photoshop for digital art

Current monitor is 1920x1080 144hz, will be going 1440p/144hz in the near future when i get paid from my job, cause I'm passing off my old computer to my brother who's gonna pay me money for it overtime.

So do you think I should go with the MSI 2080 Super gaming x trio?

that was my first choice, but I was told I should get a 2080 ti instead

Most fresh benchmark of AAA game comes from Red Dead Redemption 2, that needs 2080ti to run 1080p high settings at 130 ish fps, 1440p high settings drops it to about 100fps. 2070S does 100fps 1080p high, 75fps 1440p high. So when it comes to which is better, I'd say 2070S + next gen GPU in the future is better than 2080ti for 2 generations worth of time.

Oh no no no, with current prices the 2080S (5% faster than 2080, itself 10% faster than 2070S after overclocking) it's an even worse deal.

2080ti is the "I've got money to burn" option, 2070S the "balanced" option.

Mmmkay, but I pretty much do have money to "burn", otherwise I'd spend the money on useless shit and I'd really rather not do that

Thanks for the advice! I've been pretty anxious about this for the past few days, and now I think I got it all sorted !!

Sorry for late response

 

--
I was told the cpu cooler that comes with the cpu is more than enough for what I have,

so I would like more storage space-> I changed the L5 lite ssd to a Western Digital, I currently have one for the pc my bro is getting, so I wanna get that for my newer pc

and the case, I actually genuinely like, I was originally gonna go for an NZXT h150 elite, but someone had told me the airflow is shit cause of the full tempered glass stuff

Blue? Pricing isnt that good from what I can remember but at least performance and durability are solid

P350X isn't a bad case, you just need to stuck it full of fans. NZXT's RGB system is proprietary though so if you use NZXT RGB fans, you'll have to use their AIOs and light strips if that's what you want. Not sure about NZXT compatiblity with P350X's Phanteks RGB elements.

Yeah, I have 3 fans - 2 140mm and 1 120mm   (140 for front, and 120 for back) 

WD is fine with me

and Wraith spire comes with minimalistic RGB, so I could add an nzxt Kraken aio cooler then put the 140mm/radiator onto the front, and get rid of the WD 2tb 3.5 inch hard drive that I added into my cart, and get it at a later date and put it in there me-self
