You really do not need that expensive CPU cooler.

And i would go for the Corsair ML PRO fans, far better.

All the rest looks fine to me.

Edit: @Plouffe is right, go for the 9700k it rocks!

Thank you,

 My main worry with the motherboard was that i heard the VRMs on some z390 boards weren't as good so i may consider the AMD option.

Also thanks for the better suggested parts I will definitely replace the G.Skill ram with those Hyper X options ?

The Aorus Elite is cheaper than the Pro but it will be able to OC an i9 so you are fine with the i7.

Yes they are as good for less so might save 10£ here and there.

With the same price you have also a 2080S instead of the 2070S.

Well, in that regard you can save a lot of money on the CPU. A Ryzen 5 3600 and a B450 tomahawk Max is a lot cheaper and you could spend more money on the graphics card then, plus the 3600 comes with its own CPU cooler so if you didn't want to go crazy with the overclock then it's even more money saved, and you can probably get a 2080 ti

Also went with a cheaper SSD since this is a gaming PC 

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Thank you all,

I'll keep my eyes out for any cyber monday deals before i get everything first, aswell i may splash abit on a different case as my Original build from 6 years ago was a Fractal Design R5 (i think) and i was going to go for a bit of a different case with a different Motherboard orientation ect. but I'm not that bothered so I might just stick with what i know and love, with Fractal. ?
