Hi folks, I have been wanting to build a gaming pc for a long time but have had to settle for second hand older hardware, in a couple of months I will be receiving an inheritance from my dad as he recently passed away & will have the money to build a decent rig. So far this is the setup I had in mind

 

PC - Asus ROG Strix Helios case, Asus ROG Maximus XI Extreme, Intel i9 9900ks, 64gb 3000mhz cl15 Corsair Vengeance Pro, RGB Asus ROG Strix LC 360 ARGB AIO, 4x Corsair ML140 Pro RGB Fans & Lighting node pro, Asus ROG Strix RTX 2080 ti OC 11gb, Samsung 970 pro 1tb m.2 ssd, WD Black 6tb hdd, Corsair AX1000 1000w 80+ Titanium power supply

 

Monitor - Philips 436M6VBRAB UHD HDR400 43in

 

Keyboard - Razer Huntsman Elite Opto-mechanical

 

Mouse - Razer Naga Trinity

 

Plus a few other bits & pieces, full list can be found here - https://www.pccasegear.com/wish_lists/1032068

 

I am trying to get as much value, reliability & performance out of the money I will spend & don't really care about Intel vs AMD or Nvidia vs AMD

 

My question is this, is that setup a good way to spend my money? I have a budget of at most $10000 AUD/$6800 USD

 

Recommendations are welcome

There is zero reason to go Intel for gaming at 4K. Even 3440 x 1440 doesn't have much of a performance gap.
