Need help to build PC.

Ah I see. Well, first thing I'd say is to see what motherboard is compatible with the CPU.

The GPU simply plugs in to a PCIe slot, which is on virtually all motherboards.

For your hard drives, it looks like you want a large capacity HDD for storage an SSD(?) to run your OS (and I guess your favorite games) off of. For this, you need to make sure your motherboard supports at least 2 SATA connections, or 1 SATA connection and one M.2 slot (for an M.2 SSD). It's pretty standard for modern motherboards to come with at least 4 SATA connections and at least 1 M.2 slot, so this wont be hard.

For RAM, it matters less if you aren't going for an AMD CPU (which I recommend more than an Intel CPU). If you are just gaming, you really do not need any more than 16GB. I'd get around 2 8GB 3200MHz sticks. Kingston (HyperX) is a very reliable company to buy memory from (for storage or RAM).

Unfortunately, I can't help you with liquid cooling, as I have never worked with it.

Yeah, air cooling is cheaper, easier, and more reliable. Of course, if you get a huge Noctua heatsink and case fans, you can beat liquid cooling thermals.

I definitely would not go with custom/hardline water cooling if you are a first time builder. If you live in a dusty area, water cooling can make it easier to keep your PC clean. If you really want water cooling, I'd go with an AIO water cooling system.

This is what I want

Core i7 9th gen?

Rtx 2060

2-6tb hhd+sad

16-32gb ram

I would also like custom water cooling if that is possible like hardline.

1. What’s your budget, country and usecase?

 

2. I’d go for a 3600, up the GPU to something 2070/80 super and drop the ram to 16gb. 
 

3. if you are a first time builder, don’t do a custom waterloop. They are very expensive, require a lot of maintenance and are not worth it for a mid range build like this.

I need it to be under 2000 I live in the us

And I also forget to mention that I want wifi.

Here is what I would go with.

Total: $1225

This leaves you around $800 for tax, shipping, a case, peripherals, better parts, cooling.

I go with MSI because it's my preferred company. Wasn't aware of the ban VRMs. Asus is quite good too, that might be the better option.

I agree. I am running the 50th Aniv 5700XT. But the OP said they wanted a 2060 so I didn't see any reason the change that.

AMD drivers are pretty bad, though it seems they got most of the major bugs sorted for the RX5000 series. Also their software is WAY better than Nvidia.

This is a great config. However, I'd still recommend going with the Kingston RAM sticks and maybe a Thermaltake PSU.

Yeah if you aren't in any rush, it would be a good idea to wait. When the new Ryzen CPUs and Nvidia cards come out, the current gen will drop in price. I don't know if I would recommend getting those new parts as soon as they are released since drivers and such can be a huge pain for an inexperienced builder.
