Why are you going Intel? 3700X is a better value and almost the same performance

This is a much more balanced build that gives a better template for you to configure yourself if needed, I didn't know if you needed storage, but I did add my suggestions just in case, going AMD is a much cheaper option though and will provide very similar performance as long as you're not playing at 1080p on a 2080 ti. RGB can be added in wherever you want it.

I know this is a little old but, 3800x or 9700K. roughly the same price, give or take $50.

 

Thoughts?
