This is what I'm looking at getting. I already have a 2080 Super. How does this build look? Is there any problems that might come between the components. Would it benefit me going with the i9 -10900k vs the i9-11900k? Could I get by with using a Corsair RM1000x.

Thanks

1.) Don't buy an 11900k. If you want Intel and the best per-core performance, just go with a 11700k. If you need the cores, get the 10850k since it has two more cores.

2.) You're probably spending way too much o a motherboard. You don't need that high-end of a motherboard unless you're trying to become a world record overclocker.

3.) Look into AMD CPUs. The 5800X matches to beats the 11700k in most situations, but with cheaper and more feature rich motherboards. 

4.) You should probably look into getting 3600CL16 memory rather than CL18. You can get it for roughly the same price and get a few extra performance points. 

5.) You probably don't need 64GB of RAM. Unless you're doing something production related like animation, it's just gonna be wasted. 32GB is more than enough for anyone just gaming.

You could get by with a RM650x. The 2080s isn't the most power hungry GPU, and the only time getting above a 1000w PSU is for 3090 SLI or if it's somehow cheaper than getting a decent 850w (basically never happens).

This will outperform that system for almost $300 less, and half the decisions I made were "lol why not" in favor of aesthetics over performance. You could easily get that down another $200-300 or maybe afford an even better CPU like the 5950X if you need 16 cores, or drop down to a 5800X and use that extra cash to put towards a 3080 and sell your 2080s on eBay (I'm not saying you should do that and scalp your GPU, but I'm saying it's an option that exists).

Not really into AMD. I prefer Intel. I'm looking at the i9 11900 for the PCIe 4.0. Why do you think thats an high-end MB. I will look the into theC16 and not the CL18. I do a lot of programming and such so I need the 64GB of RAM. You think I could get away with an 800W with that setup? Don't need a 3000 series video card.

It's probably not needed. The 10850k would do a lot better for programming and stuff since those two extra cores will come in handy, much more than PCIe Gen4 will.

Because I spend less on my entire VR computer, with a 6600k and a 980 Ti. You could spend just over half that and still end up with basically the same experience, even if you do decide to overclock a bit.

If you're not planning on upgrading the GPU from the 2080s, then you could get by with a decent 650w unit. I ran a 2080 on a 450w PSU (not long term, just for a couple benchmarks before selling it) and it ran through everything without shutting down, though I'm not saying you should do that long term. The 30 series cards are the ones that really need the extra power and super high quality PSUs.
