Gaming Build, is it compatible?

Alphaz

So i made this build myself and wondering if everything will be compatible?

Also my case has 2x 200mm fans and led control and i may expand to add more fans in future, and plan on overclocking CPU to 5.0 on all cores and plan on overclocking GPU as well.

Will 850W PSU be enough in this build with overclock or should i opt in for a 1000W just to be secure?

a 450w psu can handle rtx 2080ti and i9 9900ks so you are better of with 650-750w.

Ah ok. Yeah you won't be needing any more than 800W, and would be fine with 650-750W. Also 32GB RAM is unneccesary for gaming.

Little pit better i9.

Better cooler for oc.

Better motherboard.

Better ram, since over 3600mhz does not really matter in intel.

Added hdd for larger files.

Better mode of 2080 super.

I tend to have chrome open non-stop and on my current machine it's eating me 6 GB of RAM on it's own right this moment. I have the tendency of pinning tabs that i use on daily basis and right now alone i probably have around 60 tabs open. Plus i often use virtual machines for work, so in some situations where i have VMs, Chrome and a game open my RAM is at a very high usage and i got 16 GB right now, so i feel like 32 GB makes sense to me.

you should probably look at a different CPU then. not to mention you can get 64GB of memmory for less than that. actually you can get 128GB of Ram for less than that.

Fair enough, but $760 for 32gb of ram is probably the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Pls don't buy that RAM.

Thanks, but i did quite a lot of research and that was the build i ended up with.

I already picked the parts, the reason i created the thread was mostly to just confirm that they are compatible and there won't be any issues.

I tend to have chrome open non-stop and on my current machine it's eating me 6 GB of RAM on it's own right this moment. I have the tendency of pinning tabs that i use on daily basis and right now alone i probably have around 60 tabs open. Plus i often use virtual machines for work, so in some situations where i have VMs, Chrome and a game open my RAM is at a very high usage and i got 16 GB right now, so i feel like 32 GB makes sense to me.

I don't need more than 32, but the current 16 is occassionally becoming borderline not enough for me already. So it only makes sense to me that i would want 32 now that i'm upgrading to a new machine, since i want to future-proof that PC as well and not upgrade RAM in a year or year and a half.

You could get 2080ti istead of 2080 super, if getting 3600mhz ram speed

So you aren't willing to listen to people trying to save you money?

Fair enough, but $760 for 32gb of ram is probably the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Pls don't buy that RAM. 

 

 

I play cpu-intensive games competitively, difference of ram speed is quite significant on 1080p in those games.

You get around 20% performance in minimum and average fps when comparing 3200 to 4000 MHz.

For competitive gaming on high refresh monitor this purchase makes sense to me.

 

And the one i picked above is the only low effective latency RAM with high speed that is on QVL list of my mobo.

By all means i am listening and appreciate every reply and the time you spend helping me here, i'm just pretty much set on the RAM for my own reasons.

 

What caught my attention though was SavageNeo mentioning a better version of RTX 2080 Super, is there actually any difference between them? I was always confused on the different versions being released and how they compare to each other.

The Aorus is as good as the Strix, the Strix is just cheaper which make it better in a way (at least for the 2080Ti).

 

 

I came up with this :

better for your usecase. the gains from memmory really arent worth it. overkill memmory here to show why spending that much on a 32 GB kit makes no sense, ever. most gains you dont even get from these kits. you get it from manual tuning.
