All White RGB Theme

[sparkz01]

Budget (including currency): Preferably below $3500 but willing to go over

Country: United States

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Any game from Triple A titles to indie games, streaming, recording, and editing

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

Existing Prebuilt List (or how much I remember at least): 

CPU - i7 9700k 3.6 GHz
CPU Cooler - (don't remember)
Motherboard - HP Tampa2
Memory - 32 GB Total (I think vengeance don't know speed)
Storage - 256 GB M.2 and 2 TB HDD ( Both near full)
GPU - RTX 2080
Case - HP OMEN Can't find on HP's website
Power Supply - (don't remember)
OS- Windows 10 

Not planning on changing peripherals
No time rush just probably waiting until GPU prices drop some
I wanted to go for an all out White/RGB build, but I am still a novice when it comes to PC hardware. I have no clue what is good with what or the type of parts that would be ideal for streaming/recording/gaming/editing.
Here is what I have so far: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/34HX4d (I don't know what difference motherboard makes so I left it blank)

These two systems perform nearly identically:

So are you sure you want to spend an extra $420 (blaze it) on the theming? because you could do a lot toward performance improvement with that $420. Like this:

33% more CPU cores, faster memory, more fast storage. Obviously none of these include the motherboard to match your original.

I'd say you already have decent GPU that'll last you long enough, So get decent CPU and other parts and wait for a GPU prices when they drop.

There is such a good sale on this drive, Get one or two of those  https://www.amazon.com/Black-SN750-NVMe-Internal-Gaming/dp/B07M64QXMN/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=wd+black&qid=1630442527&sr=8-5

This is what I would build, This system is good in both sides, Aestethics and performance.

P.S. Yes, You can go cheaper on case fans, Or chose ones you like most, On this case good fans really look great. You can also get little better RAMs if you wanted to, Such as those (4x looks much better in my opinion)

P.P.S. Swap those fans on AIO as well

I would just through in 9900K and call it a day. Your current build is still good by today's standards. Save your money XD. Also, 5600X is not really an upgrade over the 9700K. You take 1 step back (-2 cores) and 2 steps forward (+4 threads, higher IPC). I would recommend to at least going to a 10700, 11700 or 5800X if you do want to upgrade.

Thank you very much!

If you dont need your current pc for anything else, you could just get a new case, psu and maybe motherboard and be done with it. The 9700K is still very capable for games today.
