[Help] Budget for a $4k USD Build

Hello everyone,

I have been studying hardcore for the past 3 years outside of the states. Im moving back to the states in January and Im dying to build some sort of a end game-overkiller computer for craving gaming for so long. That said, I am not well awared of the current top tier parts so I need some help. I was considering Digital storm but these machines get to the 5k and 6k with just scrolling and I was hoping to get something similar for way less.

I.Budget will be $4,000USD in the PC only, without peripherals and monitor & Location in US

II.Aim: Priority will be gaming, eventually video editing but not the current priority. (Not sure if I want to aim for 4k)

III.Monitors (2-3) I was considering maybe 2 of Asus ROG swift PG278QR 27"1440 1ms 165hz or one of the previous mentioned with one 4k res monitor.

IV.Peripherals-I got that covered with a different budget.

This is the Case I was considering with this Cooling Kit. Also, If possible, I would like to have the interiors with red/white (I guess RGB) with this in the Tubing.

I have preference for Intel with Nvidia pero AMD build are accepted.

$4K is a massive budget and will easily get you a cream of the crop system. 

I'm working on a build for you now, hang on a sec. :)

something like this if you want to do watercooling. unsure about the rads, but they look amazing. a bit of headroom left in case i under estimated tubing/pump/reservoir/fittings

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

Hey guys, I have being review some part here and there. 
Basically, I understood these 9900k and RTX's are not worth it at the moment and value per performance is not good. 
Would you say it will be worth it in performance to build with parts that have not being performing as expected for their value?
Because I am serious building something like that but if value per performance is not worth it or noticeable...
Gladd I am planning this ahead.

 

Thank you all for your Pc Build! I have being planning with all of them.
