That is a pretty big budget for the number of parts. Here is my thought.

i7-9700k 8 cores of high clock speed. You could use the i9-9900k as well if you wanted. RTX2080 which should be overkill for 1080p 144hz, you can also opt for the RTX2080Ti. Or spend less on an RTX2070 or RTX2060.

Added some Corsair SP120 fans to mount to the CPU cooler. You can get a few more if you want, or get some AF120 to use as case fans. (Or any other fan really) While you can overclock the CPU, the Evo212 should be enough for stock settings. Though, if you wanted to overclock, a liquid CPU cooler, or a much larger heatsink would be advisable.

Tossed in a 500GB M.2 SSD for the OS. You can wipe your old SSD and use it for anything you want to go quickly. You can also add or replace some new spinning disks.

Only difference I saw between the Pro and Elite versions of that motherboard was the inclusion of an extra m.2 thermal solution, they were the same price though.

Not everything is through newegg, but they should offer most of these things for a little more or have decent equivalents.

Thank you ,Eximo. That looks pretty good. I think I'll order it tomorrow. I found that M.2 SSD at Amazon for $129 and went ahead and ordered one.

Your Hyper 212 Evo should be enough if you don't overclock but if you're looking for performance and silence. BeQuiet's Dark Rock and Dark Rock Pro CPU coolers are the way to go.

I'd personally upgrade the PSU to something better although technically yours is enough in terms of wattage.

BeQuiet fans are nice for silence since you've already gone for a silent case.

Your storage is enough and fast as well. If you want to step it up, there's always NVMe, which is much faster than 2.5" SSDs but you won't feel a crazy difference in load times. Also comes at a high price.

I'm not a big fan of tge RTX 2080. Personally, I think the 2070 is a much better price/performance ratio. The 20% premium doesn't justify the 10% performance increase for me. But you've got 500$ to spare from your 2k budget, so go crazy or pimp out your rig with RGB or get some crazy big and fast storage.

 

[Mrpars]

Thank you , julienruc. I am considering your suggestions . I'm all for saving money where I can. I also want to build a solid machine that will last .
I am very concerned with the reviews over at newegg on the RTX cards. There seems to be a serious issue with these cards. Any thoughts on that ?

 

[Eximo]

There were some early issues with Turing cards, if you happen to get one that is bad it is just a matter of getting it swapped for a good one. You would be able to use the Intel video while you wait.

Keep in mind that you mostly see negative reviews everywhere. People who experience no problems and understood the expectations of the card will not post at all.

A Hyper 212 Evo for a 9700K? Really? I'd get at least a Cryorig H5 or something mid-range from Noctua instead.

 

[King Dranzer]

A Hyper 212 Evo for a 9700K? Really? I'd get at least a Cryorig H5 or something mid-range from Noctua instead.

Yes it is a bad idea if he plans to OC CPU. But he can temporarily use it till he can allocate budget towards a new Cooler. With 2K budget he should get a new CPU Cooler though. If initially OP plans to use preowned Cooler it is recommended to leave the CPU at stock settings and not OC it.

 

[Eximo]

I can vouch for a Evo 212 doing okay on an overclocked i7-4770k (4.3Ghz @ 1.29) with some decent fans. The stock fan is noisy and not great. Not the best heatsink, but still decent for the money. Some good thermal compound, coincidentally that should be added to the build list if you are re-using a cooler (Some Arctic MX-4 is a good choice for the Evo), and I think it would do okay.

He stated "probably not" on overclocking. With MCE off it should be fine.

A replacement cooler is a small cost though compared to the build, so any of the other suggestions would be fine.

If we wanted to go true cost/performance, then an i5-8400 is probably enough. I was just using the budget available to what I might purchase myself.

Sadly the power-draw of new Intel series is crazy and way above what they are listing even at stock. Evo 212 is definitely a decent cooler way better than stock but cannot satisfy OC needs of 9th-gen Intel i7 and i9.

 

[Eximo]

Sadly the power-draw of new Intel series is crazy and way above what they are listing even at stock. Evo 212 is definitely a decent cooler way better than stock but cannot satisfy OC needs of 9th-gen Intel i7 and i9.

Overclocking wasn't on the table. I am talking stock settings MCE off. Worst case the CPU would throttle under an AVX load, but probably not while playing WoW. Though everything I am reading is saying the stock voltage for the i7-9700k is too high, and manually setting it somewhere between 1.25 and 1.275 is ideal.

If overclocking is desired it is NOT an adequate cooler.

The key here is the OP already has one. A pair of new fans since the old one will have been used a while and it wasn't great to start with.

I can pull out my old rig and run that CPU at 1.35 volts 4.5Ghz (Which I know it can do, I just wasn't comfortable with it 24/7, even when it was water cooled) which is about 180W and see how it does. 1.29 volts is around 150W. Gaming temps were in the high 60s. At the time that was paired with an air cooled GTX1080 while I started piecing together my current build.

Anandtech's review of the i7-9700k shows a stock full load as being 124.27W.

https://www.anandtech.com/show/13400/intel-9th-gen-core-i9-9900k-i7-9700k-i5-9600k-review/21

So based on that information, pretty sure it would work.

Yes for stock settings Evo 212 will do fine. Better to set voltage to 1.25 manually but even without doing that Evo 212 will not throttle unless OP lives where Summers get extremely hot.

But a 4770K =/= the 9700K, we're now several generations removed from that CPU. 2019 CPUs require a lot more cooling than a 2014 CPU did. And I'll give you that a 212 Evo worked great on the 4770K (because I had a 4690K and a 212 Evo) but those CPUs could run on that type of cooler because they were so good thermal wise. The thermals have changed a lot in the last couple of years and now those coolers aren't as good as they used to be.

Yes you are correct. But at stock clock speeds it will not face problem maintaining the temps in check.

 

[King Dranzer]

Anyhow advice for OP as he is spending a good 2K is to go for a better cooler if he is comfortable spending extra for a cooler even if has no plans of OC. But if OP decides to stick with old Cooler he still has to buy thermal paste and IA to clean the residue. In any case both are feasible solutions.

That is a real world example I have in my hands, nothing more. I can pull numbers to support my position. I know how much wattage that consumes and what those particular fans do to that cooler.

I get that junction temperatures and heating characteristics internally will be a little different due to the architecture and die shrink, but not as drastic as you are making it out to be. Heat gets to the heatspreader and will get taken away by whatever cooling solution. As long as it can keep up. If your position is that it can't, I'll cite you these:

Hyper 212 on an i7-9700k
"It hasn't been an issue at all for me. I overclocked it today using the easyboost to 5ghz. Using the TimeSpy 3D Mark could test, I recorded 50c for my temp and playing VR it hovers around there too (I havey CPU fan to Max out at 65c... So about 90% at 50c). The hottest yet has been the stress test while enabling the easy boost; that peaked at 73c. Right now it's idling at 25c with 38% fan speed on the CPU, and system fans 30-50%."
UPDATE 2/10/2019: Overclocked the CPU to 5.0GHz to see what could be pulled out of the CPU/cooler combination. Temp maxed out at 97c, and I dare not go any further. Backing down to 4.6GHz, the max CPU temp I saw during the benchmark was 73c.

Hyper 212X on i7-9700k
"Thank you! Honestly, the 212x is fine - I'm sitting at 33*C idle here. If I was going to overclock seriously I would probably get something stronger, but for $49 AUD the 212X was the sweet spot for me."

Interestingly a few running 9900k. They weren't as eloquent though or left no comments:
Evo 212 on i9-9900k
"The hyper 212 does fine"

These are from PCPartpicker completed builds. Not all of them are using the stock fans that came with the coolers.

 

[Mrpars]

Thank you all for sharing your expertise . Just want to post an update. I have decided to go ahead and get a new cooler
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/FRYLrH/be-quiet-dark-rock-4-cpu-cooler-bk021
since I'm making such a large investment . I'll probably go ahead and replace the PS also .
I'm still making a list and checking it twice. I'll post the list before I buy.

If budget pushed to max. This is the performance you get. You can save few bucks going AMD route for CPU.
This is and additional option for you.

 

[Mrpars]

Thank you . My goal isn't to spend all the money though. What about the parts in my list ?

 

[King Dranzer]

Thank you . My goal isn't to spend all the money though. What about the parts in my list ?

Not bad at all. But you could have got better performance if you opted for AMD Ryzen build for similar price.
That RTX2070 can support dual 1080p monitors. But just don't try to upgrade even to 1440p in future as you will see a big performance hit by doing that.
No complains with the list.

 

[Mrpars]

A friend is telling me that I need to get a 4k monitor to go with this . Any suggestions on a new 2nd monitor , or should I bring this question over to the display forums?
This would be separate from my build budget . Something under or around $300 ?

 

[Eximo]

There are 4K panels out there for $300, but they aren't the best. If you are going with the RTX2080Ti than 4K is an option. RTX2070 and it will struggle to keep higher frame rates in many games.

WoW isn't all that demanding graphically so at 4K the RTX2070 would probably do okay.

As a compromise a 21:9 panel 3440x1440 would give you a nice field of view, but again the RTX2070 is a little light.

I find 2560x1440 a decent compromise between performance and resolution. However, the decent panels are starting around $300.

$300 1440p 27" with adjustable stand and IPS
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/YZn2FT/benq-monitor-gw2765ht

$275 Here is the only 4K panel that made the list, only 23.8"
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/HKL7YJ/lg-24ud58-b-238-3840x2160-60hz-monitor-24ud58-b

$475 3440x1440 IPS (cheapest one worth getting)
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/zQ66Mp/lg-34ub88-p-340-3440x1440-75hz-monitor-34ub88-p

 

[Mrpars]

I've already ordered the RTX2070 so if it can't handle a 4k then I'll just move on from that idea. The thing is I like having duel monitors just so I can look things up on the web or watch tv or w/e while playing a game. Right now my main monitor looks to be compatible with the new build:
LG Electronics Gaming 24GM77-B 24-Inch Screen LED-Lit Monitor
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00P0EOX1S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
However my 2nd monitor only has DVI connections. (SyncMaster 2433BW) and there are no DVI ports on the 2070 or the MB that is coming.
So it looks like I'm going to need a new monitor . I can either replace my main and use it for 2nd monitor or keep it as my main and replace the other one with something with a DP connector. Just looking for my best option with the new build.
This is what I ordered except I got the 750w ps instead of the 650.

[Eximo]

There are HDMI and Display Port adapters for DVI if you want to go that route.

No big rush, you can try out the computer with the one monitor before shopping for a new one. Maybe do some benchmarks to see what frame rates you would find acceptable.

If you wanted 1080p you could go for high refresh rate displays. 75Hz+ 24" panels are within your price range.
