What is your budget for the build?

[Nmasier]

it doesn't really matter I just want something that I can upgrade in the future. I would say i would want to top it off at around 2400$ Ps: i dont want to change the graphics card or cpu that I already have. If you have any recommendations feel free to add. I just started learning how to build pc's 

[Rancidpunk]

And what are you using it for?

So you already own the cpu and gpu?

[Nmasier]

yes i own the 2070 and i7 8700k already and i am using it for flight simulation for the upcoming msfs2020 which i feel will be very cpu and gpu bound

Corsair CXM V2 (2017) 750 W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply

not that great. get the TXM instead. 550W should be enough

expensive. you can get nvme drives for that price.

 

[Rancidpunk]

The only thing I'd recommend is a better power supply - Corsair RMx (2018) 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply Gold rated and a 10 Year warranty for a bit extra.

Sorry boggy77, I typed mine while you posted. I agree with your other recommendations too  I only mentioned the PSU because it looked like such a weak choice alongside the OP's other parts.

PSU can be better and its overkill. going down with the Corsair line CXM and TXM ( prefer) its better. and something around 550 or 650W. 32GB its okay but  will leaves a lot of free space. 16GB is sufficient. on my recent activity in this websites. people usually did not buy EVO Drive. it simply overpriced. most of them go with Sabrent Rocket and Intel 660p.  the BOOT will be the same. and your simulator wont notice the difference in between speed. but it will saves you plenty amount of money.

It looks like you only get 1 case fan with the case so remember to get at least 1 more for the rear exhaust. If you go for an AIO you'll have two exhaust fans and only 1 intake so maybe add another to the front of the case.

 

Personally I think if you went for an air cooler pointed at the rear exhaust you would be fine for airflow in that case with just 1 fan front and rear but it wouldn't hurt to have 2 either end.

I went for the Corsair RM750 because it's pretty good for what u get for the price. Also go for the 2x16GB drives for future upgrades. Case is exeptional but it's also pretty good for what u pay.

txm and rmx are better. also 750w is too much, 550w are enough

That case has truly awful thermals.

I have plenty of 120mm fans that I can add

Would you consider a wireless headset?
