Hey guys! So I'm looking to upgrade to a desktop from my current alieware 17r4. This will be my first time building a computer, and I'm hoping to make it future proof enough to where I wont have to make to many upgrades in the future. I play on a 3440x1440 120htz monitor so I want to be able to run as close or to that 120 fps as much as possible. I have the 8086k for my processor in the build but I plan on waiting and getting the 9900k when it comes out. I've heard it will fit 7370 motherboards but correct me if I'm wrong. I really wanted to get a custom open loop water cooling system to cool my gpu as well as the cpu but I'm not so confident in my ability to construct the loop properly, nor do I want to pay the price of a custom build from a company (maingear,digitalstorm,xidax) so I figure to go with a closed loop for my processor only. I definitely want a 2080 ti, not 100% sure if i want the evga xc ultra or the ftw3 so any input on that would be appreciated. M.2 for the Os is a must but the pcpartpicker compatibility screen is telling me I have a issue with it an the motherboard, it states : 

• The motherboard M.2 slot #1 shares bandwidth with a SATA 6.0 Gb/s port. When the M.2 slot is populated, one SATA 6.0 Gb/s port is disabled.

Is this invalid and I shouldn't worry about it? Anyways any input would be nice, and if you think I'm missing something or should change to something else let me know why! Thanks in advance for your time and experience!

Looks good but maybe you don't really need a 1200W PSU ?

 

Maybe aim for a Gold Tier 1 850 W ?

Well...that's definitely a powerful pc.

Nah, just means you can plug in 1 less HDD/SSD when using an M.2

Yeah I knew I would need a lot and not sure if 1000w would do it, HX1200i would be fine? or would the extra hundred odd dollars for the AX1200i be worth it?

that's just a ton of overkill, a good 750-850w psu is good enough for SLI.
