I need some help on this PC build please!

Hello, I do not have much knowledge in this field, and I'm trying to build my own gaming/streaming PC for the first time.

My budget is around $2000-$2400, not including a monitor or a keyboard.

I have chosen about half of the components needed to build my PC and I'd like to see some feedback / suggestions.

 

CPU: Intel Core i9 9900k

Motherboard: Asus rog maximus xi hero

GPU: Rtx 2070 Super (maybe upgrade to 2080 super)

RAM: Corsair vengeance lpx 32GB(2x16GB)  3200MHz  (maybe Corsair vengeance RGB Pro 32GB)

CPU Cooling: Noctua Nh-D15 chromax.black  (I prefer this huge air cooler to other liquid coolers)

Storage: TBD

Power supply: TBD

 

I also have a few questions / concerns about this build:

1. is my overall build balanced? any component to upgrade to pair well with my CPU and GPU?

2. Will my huge Noctua nh-d15 cooler fit with my Corsair RAM? The reason i'm trying to buy LPX instead of RGB Pro is to have smaller size RAM to have enough space between the cooler and RAM.

3. Any suggestions for the amount of ssd/hdd (which one to use or to mix it)  and a power supply (amount of W)?

 

Thanks in advance!

Use case?

if your gaming, I would atleast get a better gpu, and maybe consider going the ryzen route, not because of gaming, but for an upgrade path.

AMD blackout rig

 

cpu: ryzen 5 3600 @4.4ghz @1.35v

gpu: rx5700xt 2200mhz

ram: vengeance lpx c15 3200mhz

mobo: gigabyte b550 auros pro 

psu: cooler master mwe 650w

case: masterbox mbx520

fans:Noctua industrial 3000rpm x6

I think going all out and purely focusing on performance is your best bet. If you do so you can get an RTX 2080 Ti. The motherboard you chose is nice to have but won't provide you with better performance, the budget can be utilized a bit better like so:

1. You can easily afford an RTX 2080 Super or 2080 Ti if you utilize the budget better.

2. Get low profile RAM, the G.Skill kit I added is fast, works with Intel out of the box and is the best price for a 32GB 32000MHz kit. I too prefer large air coolers, I added the Dark Rock Pro 4 because it is $10 less, and performance is nearly the same, spending $10 more on the NH-D15 is fine though.

3. For an SSD I added a 1TB NVME drive, in terms of $/GB it is not much more than a good Sata SSD/M.2 so an extra $15 spent here is fine. 650W is enough for you system the Corsair RMx is a quality PSU, meaning it is made with good components ensuring you don't have a PSU failure that can damage other hardware in your system as well.

 

The P300A is a great case for the price, the mesh front panel means your hardware can get cool air, unlike most cases these days, and it still has a nice tempered glass side panel.

The 9900k is a bit too powerful for gaming/streaming, especially paired with a 2070 super. Would you consider amd instead? It it currently best in terms of price/performance
