Build with 1080 Ti.

[Zeorth]

So I want a pc for gaming and my budget is around $2000 but it’s flexible. I would prefer a 1080 Ti if possible but it’s not necessary. I use 1 1080p 144 Hz monitor and one 1440p 144 Hz monitor. So if anyone can piece together a build good then please do.

Do you do anything else? How much RGB? (Because that's what really matters.)

Only need the pc. And obviously as much rgb as possible because RGB=+100% Performance

At this level, the real trick is to pick the Case you want. Then fill it in. I also went with an Air Cooler just because it fits before case decisions.

Is 650W enough if I’m over clocking? I prefer AIO’s because they look better but the rest looks amazing.

PCPartPicker's own calculator gives you 200w of space. Only way you're getting those parts beyond that would require a custom-loop to drive that much power into the system.

Okay, there's "maxing out a budget" then there is a getting to 29 cents under a 2k budget. HAHA. I'm a little too happy about this one.

Fans, with more RGB, can be added later, as well.

The Obsidian comes with 3 LL120 fans and I’m adding 3 more. So that I have 3 in the front, 2 in the top(replacing my radiator fans) and 1 in the rear.
