@OlympicAssEaterI have never built with amd before, so im kinda still an intel slave.

You'll most likely end up buying an AMD processor.

@Slottr1080p rn usually, prolly gonna get a 1440p one on cyber monday as well. I also have a 4k tv with 120hz capabilities so will also attempt to play mhw on that beast. Minimum refresh rate at 144hz but willl prolly try to get a 240hz monitor. I usually play competitive shooters but i also play alot of monster hunter world/nier automata. Im building this to play dying light 2 in ray tracing as well.

Well, considering this is just a dream build with no budget as of right now- can't really say much. But I'll throw you these for the meantime based on your current list:

 

  • A 3700X could have better longevity,  games are starting to support much higher core counts. And seeing as you want to play at 1440p or even higher resolutions, the performance gap between the 9700k and 3700x is very minimal. Plus it's cheaper.
  • You won't need 32GB of memory. You'll reach probably only about 70% of a 16GB kit max while just using your system as a gaming rig with maybe a few browser tabs open.
  • You won't need an NVMe drive, it's really only useful for large file transfers. You may end up with one though- just probably not the samsung. There's an extra tax for their name
  • EVGA 2080 Super cards are cheaper and have superior warranty

@SlottrSo my realistic budget would be 1500-2000, pref staying around 1800. hence why im waiting til cyber monday. As for the 2080 card,,, it was more for the aesthetics since i dont really like how evga cards look. As for the ram, i like having multiple applications running such as discord, music, obs etc on two monitors which is why i opted for 32gbs but also to future proof. Im still not sure if i still need this much ram tho. As for the amd card, are there any major differences from building with it to bios tweaking compared to intel?

Definitely not. You'd honestly be just fine with 8 even.

On the surface, not really. Some settings just have altered names.

@Slottralso for the samsung nvme drive, Id rather have the best and most well known for an ssd to minimize risk of failure. Also another question, will the 3700x or the 9700k bottle neck the 2080 super? Also the power supply, i have people telling me to invest in a platinum grade psu to prevent failures. If i have extra budget should i upgrade the psu?

Platinum, titanium, bronze, gold, etc are just efficiency ratings, are are no measure of how good a PSU is.

 

find a quality PSU, i'm sure people in the cases and psu's subforum could help

Redundant, every drive has risk of failure and many others have drives that perform just as great with a significantly lower price tag. You'll still get warranty on other drives.

There's always a bottleneck, it just depends what you're doing. Generally those two and a 2080 super is a fine combo and you'll be fine.

Platinum is just a power efficiency rating. Just because it says it's efficient, doesn't mean it's of high quality. The unit you have in there currently is good though. I may stretch to a 650W unit, depending how hard you want to overclock the cpu and gpu.

@SlottrI likely wont oc much, many of my games are gpu intensive so maybe might oc the gpu. i also dont believe i have enough cooling to keep both the cpu and gpu oc at all times.
