You don't need all that power for a 1080p monitor!

Looks good, the only thing I changed is the 960 EVO to the newer 970 EVO and saves you a couple $ in the process.

keep an eye out in two weeks the rtx2070 is dropping see how it lines up in price/speed from the older 1xxxx gpus.

The 9700k with z390 will launch in less than a month.

Look at the msi rtx 2080 gaming trio X. If the price is about the same.

Get a ips 2k 144hz acer gsync monitor. It costs about the same.

No other complains.

i seen reviews on the new 2080 ti mostly been keeping my eye on the asus version but seen not much of a difference and from what i hear has mosty performance straits to heat and power supply something like only 6% increase better

what do you recommend voltage any ways my area occasionally get power outage as well so i heard form a reddit post if get mid range voltage can prevent power surge in computer just a tad worried it would fry some components

 

[animemangamer]

Use a surge protector or battery backup in between your PC and wall outlet:

do you guys think 650 watts its enough someone told me to downgrade my power supply it is 100 watt down grade but is it going to be enough if i decided in the future to get a second monitor as well and to run my pc smoothly as of right know

No, don't downgrade your PSU, keep at least 750w minimum. They didn't tell you to downgrade the PSU they told you that your system is too powerful for a FHD monitor 1920x1080 but there's nothing wrong with that since if you decide to use another monitor later or a play in higher resolution you have the option ready so there's really no reason to change your specs from what I already revised.

1080 Ti requires 600w bare minimum not accounting the overclocking that you may do with this system:
