New Build Advice

[D00kEllington]

Hello from the UK!

 

I am planning a new build and need some advice about an overall better or worse scenario. it’s not so much the parts but I’ll list them anyway in case you guys think I’m heading down a dodgy path. 
 

As with anything, money is an overriding factor however as I’m going about this through monthly payments my budget sits around the £1,650 - £1,750 range. This ends up around the £40 per month bracket. 
 

The crux of the issue is that I’m basically stuck between buying a more ‘future proof’ build against a weaker build but with a monitor. 
 

It will be for if I’m honest 60 / 40 gaming (FPS, maybe some sea of thieves) and 3D modelling, texturing and animation, respectively. Nb almost certainly not doing any extensive rendering if I am it’ll be CPU based renderer  anyway. 
 

With knowledge that I will not be buying another PC for minimum 5 years, and I already have an acceptable 1080p Samsung S22D300 monitor, do I spend it all on the build? With a good chance I’ll pick up a good 1440p 144hz monitor maybe Black Friday?

 

or 

 

compromise the build and include a minimum of £250 to buy a monitor. 
 

so current build list is...

 

no monitor-

 

i9 9900k

RTX 2070 Super EVGA GeForce black 

32 gb ddr 4 3600 vengeance 

Gigabyte Z390 gaming x mobo

850 Corsair psu

NVMe pcie ssd 500gb 

2tb 3 HD 

cosair 240mm AIO cooler 

cosair carbide spec 05 case 

3 additional Deepcool 120mm RGB case fans 

 

with monitor - 

28” Acer 4K monitor 60hz 1ms

I9 9900k

RTX 2070 gigabyte wind force x2

16gb ddr4 3600 vengeance 

gigabyte z390 gaming x mobo

850 w psu

sandisk 500gb ssd

3.5 2tb HD

Deepcool Castle 240mm aio cooler 

Msi vampiric case 

 

So there you have it. Which should I choose?

Im grateful for any advice on the build etc just can’t decide whether to have the best build I can and use an inferior monitor for 8 months or have new everything but the build be compromised. Also just to add adding to the build afterwards could be fiddly as I’m having a friend build it for me. So that is a consideration. 
 

thanks

I'm sure you can optimise the build enough without losing major performance and still afford a good monitor. Given that the 9900 is the best cpu that can be had on that platform, would you instead prefer waiting for the launch of the new intel line-up or even consider ryzen?

It looks from here like the only difference between the monitor and no monitor builds is type of storage.  Monitor build seems to include a case where no monitor build does not.  Is this correct?

Ah slightly different case ones a cosair one and ones a msi to be honest that’s not a big one. Major differences 2070 super rather than 2070, better aio cooler, faster storage and an extra 16gb of ram

Optimise in what regard sorry just trimming the in necessary bits you mean? I don’t know much about the new processors coming out, when are they likely to land?

This year, not sure when available on the market.

Well, you can get a 550w psu, a air cooler, no rgb fans, a cheaper motherboard etc

My personal option would be to dump AIO and RGB and go air/no rgb before I started removing ram and getting a cheaper GPU.  That’s me though.  I’m bang/buck oriented and I have little love for RGB.

Cool ok thanks so you think stick with the monitor and drop the extra bits. Which would you say is better more ram or the gpu
