Any suggestions on stuff I should add or remove? Every part seem relatively new? I have a gtx 980 and an older i-5 right now that can't keep up with my 4k monitors.
I will probably give that to my girlfriend and try and convince her to play some games with me.

I can confirm EverQuest will run on this setup

I overheard a nerd saying that 9 series processors are coming out soon. The chipsets are already out. I heard the nerd say. I don't follow this stuff and I think putting more than $1200 into a computer build if you haven't retired into comfort yet is kind of dumb. Your abs probably aren't visible enough to pay for how much time you spend playing games.

[d3r14k]

Cut the $94 for the copy of Windows. Yo ho ho, pirate!

Looks like a pretty slick build though.

[Wonkie]

yes

[Vizax_Xaziv]

Lmao $1200 for a GPU AND its a shitty founders edition......what a waste of $$

Have you seen the benchmarks? ? This card is the first in while worth it imo

[Oleris]

I went with the gtx 2080 ti MSI duke OC (https://www.msi.com/Graphics-card/GeForce-RTX-2080-Ti-DUKE-11G-OC) edition of the card. Everything else is the same. Like I said, I was unable to break 60 FPS with high/ultra settings with 4k resolution. This should do the trick for several years.

[Asteria]

Nice looking rig, Oleris. :)

[Oleris]

I changed the ram and a couple parts up. I added my current monitors and headset as well. Hoping this lasts me 5 solid years at high FPS.

Why would you sink that much money into PC but be on a five year refresh cycle?

N-word rich are ya?

Southern California has a high cost of living, but also higher wages. My old CPU was released in January 2011. My current computer was built around then and overtime I upgraded my ram and GPU, but was limited by my CPU socket.

I will probably do the same with this build. I see myself getting a SLI bridge down the road and probably upgrading my ram in 3-4 years.

[Cecily]

20 year old me used to dream of working on a list like that, piece by piece each paycheck. 34 year old me decided video games are boring and a smart phone is just as good. Looks like a nice system though! Hope you like it.

[Immok]

Have you considered any M.2 SSD instead of SATA?

Something like: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA12K7968212

Wastes 4k on a comp to play everquest

I feel bad just typing that

Nope. I have been asking build a pc reddit for advice on my build and this is the first that I have heard of a PCI Express SSD. It looks alot more convenient than having to bracket and mount a sata SSD or 3.5 hard drive.

I will definitely look into this when I need additional SSD space.

there's your first problem

[Vizax_Xaziv]

Have you built your rig yet?

I would suggest a different motherboard if you plan on doing any overclocking on that 8700k. The power delivery on that ASUS board looks weak. Consider spending a little extra on a nice Z390 chipset board - they basically all have beefy VRMs because they're designed for the 9th Gen. Intel CPUs. This also means that you can drop an 8C/16T 9900k into your board in a couple years if you want and not worry about any throttling due to overheating VRMs.

That Asus Z370 will support a 9900k drop in, but its power delivery WILL NOT. Honestly that VRM setup may even struggle with an overclocked 8700k.

[America]

My "sane computer purchasing process" dictates that I buy the one that's about $400, presuming I kept my storage array. This means I don't have to obsess about gay stuff like above. Takes me 5 hours to research current generation, order all the parts to the computer and assemble it every 3 years. Go to the gym and read stuff other than tech radar and Tom's hardware forums is my advice. And quit playing video games

[Vizax_Xaziv]

This Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Elite (https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813145092&cm_re=z390-_-13-145-092-_-Product) is a really nice looking board. 12+1 phase VRM - will push a 16-thread 9900k @ 5.2GHz without breaking a sweat.

[Vizax_Xaziv]

^^ And LOL - techradar and Tom's are absolute dogshit these days.
