My first rig

[Haroldpain]

Hi I'd like to build my first rig this month it'll be used for playing at high refresh rate 1080p (though I'm fine with 60 hz) ultra in 2019 (though might upgrade to something new in late 2019 if and will have a good free sync gpu) , I'll play mostly AAA games RTS games and use Linux

Will this pc suffice?

Why go Ryzen if it's strictly for gaming?

Certain games actually benefit from SMT (civ gained 20 fps) and I personally have been told that there might be some sort of stutters withput HT/SMT

Why not, and the OP didn't say it's strictly for gaming. If it was he wouldn't use Linux after all.
P.S. @Haroldpain kudos for Linux

1080p 60fps the 1070ti will do the job, however, the monitor you selected is 144hz. You likely will not utilize the 144hz in games with a 1070ti so you could save some money there if you wanted. You may also look into a Corsair CS or RMX PSU also. I don't know much about the one you selected, but I've seen others on the forum say the Seasonic Focus isn't all that great. Haven't look into that much though.

I expected him to say if he wanted to use it for something else.

Do you disagree?

That Monitor is a Freesync so maybe switch out the gpu for a Vega 56 if you want Freesync to work. Also as mentioned above go with the non 'X' cpu to save a bit of money.

why would you limit a GTX 1070 Ti to a 60hz panel? it doesn't make any sense, it will do above 60 FPS on all games, whether it will reach 144 FPS or not is really dependent on the game, but it doesn't have to.

it'll work, but get a 2600 and overclock instead of the 2600x and a cheaper MSI B450-A pro.
