Budget: $2,000 - $2,500 including tax + shipping but not the VR stuff
Build Requirements: 2 TB of storage, glass full tower case, the best practical video card for VR, enough RGB to make a rainbow vomit. I <3 big air systems and overclocking, so want a best overclocker on big air that I can get.
What I will use the PC for: VR games like Stormland, The Climb, and AAA titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and Star Citizen. I occasionally do some 3D modeling from time to time.
Motherboard: MSI Z370 GAMING PRO CARBON
(Is this the best overclocking motherboard with RGB for a reasonable price?)
GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 2070ARMOR 8G
(Is this best card for VR I can get without spending more than $500-ish?)
CPU: Intel Core i5-9600K
(Don't try to sell me on an i7 or Ryzen, i'm pretty sold on this)
CPU Cooler: be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4
(I think this is the best big air cooler for overclocking that isn't made by Noctua. Noctua stuff is so ugly.)
Storage: SAMSUNG 960 EVO M.2 2280 2TB SATA III
(EDIT: I want 2TB of storage. I like the idea of getting rid of HDD's. I like how clean M.2 drives look. I was originally going to go with a 1TB 970 and a 1TB 860, but edited my post after I decided that was a stupid idea. There isn't that much of a speed difference between the two.)
RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance RGB Pro 16GB (2 x 8GB)
(Is this the best bang for my buck? I want something that is RGB and a solid for overclocking, but I don't want to waist money on fast RAM that will only ever show a performance improvement in synthetic benchmarks. EDIT: Changed from G. Skill to Corsair Vengeance for tiny bit more CPU heatsink clearance.)
Case: Thermaltake View 71 RGB
(I am a sucker for spending a little bit extra on a good looking case. I want something with lots of glass and RGB that is also a full tower).
PSU: CORSAIR RMi Series RM650i 650W 80 PLUS GOLD
Misc: Thermaltake CL-O015-PL00BL-A TT Sync Controller TT
(Appearently, this will let me to control and sync the case fans from the motherboard)
Misc: Thermaltake Riing Cooling Fan - 140 mm
(I want more fans. Ideally, I want them to match what is already in the case. I hope these are the right ones to match what comes with the case. Should I just go with another brand that is mystic light compatible? )
Misc: Raidmax LD-602 Dual Addressable RGB LED Light Strip
( Will this work well and play nice with my motherboard?)
