Thoughts on new build?

Hello, i'm building a new computer before i go to college this August and i was wondering what you guys think of this build, i'm going such high end because it's the last time i can build a pc without having other things to pay. I will be using this pc for gaming at 1440p with 144hz and some engineering software in college. My current build is an i5 4670k with 2x sli GTX 980s. Storage is not included because i'm just moving it from my old pc and i already own the case and i do plan on waiting for the RTX 3080 ti 

Custom Loop

Alphacool full copper 45mm 360mm radiator

Alphacool full copper 45mm 480mm radiator

Alphacool full copper 30mm 480mm radiator

Ekwb monoblock 

d5 pump res combo 

graphics card has pre installed block (RTX 2080 ti hydro copper, PC part picker does not have this card) 

 

what do you guys think? anything you would change? Thanks in advanced

No problem in specs. But 7×$39 fans seems kinda pricey

Especially for I win fans, try Corsair.

a lot of unnecessary everything tbh. you could spend less on a few parts for a 3950x and not lose a single bit of performance or quality elsewhere.

I was thinking inwin fans because they are daisy chain able for easier cable management

What would you replace to get a 3950x?

I would just find cheaper fans. Everything else looks good. But $200+ for case fans is just ridiculous. If daisy chaining is a concern, there are still plenty of good fans that can do that without costing $40 a fan. Unless you need this pc now, have you considered waiting for 3000 series Nvidia gpus?

Are there any cheaper light up fans with good static pressure for use with radiators? and yes i do plan on waiting for the RTX 3080 ti (or equivalent) and i added it to the main post

I've never used any msi board before, is that one equivalent to the gigabyte master in terms of features and vrm for overclocking? Also those fans are definitely cheaper then the inwin fans but do they have enough static pressure for a 45mm thick radiator? Also for this build would a 3950x be a better purchase then the 3900x since the 4 extra cores would help with the engineering software but not really in the gaming side of things

Your Msi motherboard, when looking at overclocking potential, has a 6+2 power stages for its vrm with IR3598 doublers. This is pretty typical for x570 boards. If you’re looking for maximal overclocking, the best boards for that are Aorus extreme and Aorus Master, the msi prestige x570 and msi MEG godlike x570, and the crosshair VIII Hero and crosshair VIII formula. (In that order) I haven’t checked prices on these boards but from a couple of vrm spreadsheets, in that order they are the best for overclocking. 
 

When it comes to fans, you’ve chosen airflow fans, which aren’t specifically designed for static pressure, but instead for airflow. Fans like these: should be good for use with a radiator. https://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-Pressure-Adjustable-Anti-Vibration-CL-F042-PL12SW-B/dp/B014QW98SC/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?keywords=static+pressure+fan+120mm&qid=1583237781&sprefix=static+pressure+fan&sr=8-5

 

When it comes to the 3900x vs the 3950x, all I’ll say is that the 3900x is 300$ cheaper, and has only 4 less cores. It’s the difference between 12 and 16 cores. Unless you have a specific workload where it will be specifically beneficial, save the $300 for something else. 
 

I hope this helped and good luck with the build!

Arctic F and P series (PWM PST) also have that feature.

How do those fans compare to the iwin jupiter (2.62mm h20) or the corsair ml fans?
