Hello everyone, I'm currently traveling on the state and once I'm finish will try to get computer parts to bring home, but I have no idea where should I go to, I'm not from USA, I'm from Argentina, so ill need to pay in cash, any advise about a store to get high end stuff, like 2080 ti, i7 9700k or i9 9900k, not sure if I can pay on newegg or Amazon with cash.

 

Sorry for my bad English I'm still learning and need more practice

This is the setup I'm trying to get.

I7 9700k, aorus z390 pro, 2080 ti, 32gb ram 3200 or 16gb, 500gb nvme 970 evo, not sure about the cooler, maybe cooler master hyper 212 black edition, and evga g5 750w 80plus gold... no need for case... 

 

What would you change from those parts?

Should I look for a better cooler or a bigger power supply

 

Thx for everything  in advance, I'm new posting in the forums but I've been here before, I like this community a lot

remember. if you're not from the states and you buy a product there and it ends up being faulty or breaks you will have a hard time trying to RMA the item, it happened to me with a pair of skull candy venue headphones i bought in best buy.
Luckily skull candy denmark allowed me to get a new one and they took care of everything else.

Anything i've written between the * and * is not meant to be taken seriously.

keep in mind that helping with problems is hard if you aren't specific and detailed.

i'm also not a professional, (yet) so make sure to personally verify important information as i could be wrong.

Looks goood exept i have mixed opinion about the i7 9700k. It has 8c/8t meaning that it has no hyper threading and for more than games at this moment it will not do as good. (workload, rendering and new modern games in cpuole years (not now) the thread count will make your games stutter(it happened with i5 9400f which has only 6c/6t, matter od time when it happen to that cpu)) Ryzen 7 3700x for example which has 8c/16t. In gaming results are very similar but in workload ryzen will slap that cpu out. Still nothing wrong with going that cpu.

 

Consider Ryzen

 

Even 400W psu would run the 2080ti so you fine with that. Corsair rmx 850w/750w is better than the Evga one. The stock cooler of ryzen is enough, but for intel the 212 black edition is good enough if you do not try to overclock. If you will overclock get atleast Bequiet dark rock 4

QUOTE ME  FOR ANSWER.

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)

I’d get a 1TB SSD. Also I’d consider going with a Ryzen 3700x and B450 Tomahawk Max. As someone else has said, go to Microcentre
