Ok two big problems. You're going to need a high end cpu cooler and a case with better ventilation for the graphics card. Otherwise that expensive 9900k will constantly throttle thermally.

You can go with a larger capacity SATAIII M.2 solidstate drive for the same amount of money, if all you're doing is gaming. Keep the NVME if you are into content creation.
You generally won't need more than 16gb of system memory, unless you are the rare exception and difference in price can be allocated to the better CPU cooler. I doubt you'll find a new GTX 1080TI. If you do, they're likely going to be the same price. However if you find a great deal on a 1080 TI, go for it.

 

[justin.lopez0322]

Do you have a case and cooler you would recommend? And this computer is going to be a primary gaming computer.

There's headroom in the budget for when the EVGA 2080/ASUS ROG Strix 2080's are released if you can hold out. Or you can purchase a 860 evo m.2 2tb if you like more SSD storage.
The reason that 32gb kit is only $60 more is because the timings are slower. If you multitask like crazy and will definitely use 32gb of system memory, go for your origional LPX kit because that's a great price.

 

[justin.lopez0322]

Awesome, I plan on buying a few parts a month and slowly building this as it is my first build and I want to do it correctly. Thanks for all your help!

**Edit, I meant EVGA 2080 FTW3***

Wow check out the price difference and what you get going from a 9900k to an 8700k:

Price to performance, i'd definately choose the RTX 2080TI over the 9900k. You are only getting 2 additional cores and 4 additional threads for an additional $169.01, not including the cpu cooler price difference.

 

[justin.lopez0322]

Honestly I'm not worried about price I'd rather go with the performance!

 

[SgtScream]

Honestly I'm not worried about price I'd rather go with the performance!

You'd get better performance prioritizing the graphics card, over the additional 2 cores/4 threads. What monitor do you have?

 

[justin.lopez0322]

I was planning on waiting for the 2080 FTW3 graphics card and getting the 9900k, what do you think would be best?

 

[SgtScream]

It depends on the resolution and refresh rate of the monitor you'll be using.

 

[justin.lopez0322]

I haven't even picked out a monitor yet I wanted to make sure the computer was good first. Do you have a recommendation on the monitor front?

 

[SgtScream]

It depends on how much money is of an object to you. If you can upgrade $1200 RTX 2080TI's often, then i'd suggest 4k.
However if you expect your 2080 TI to last for 3-5 years, then I suggest 1440p/1440p Ultrawide. The upgrade path for 4k is going to be very frequent as opposed to 1440p. This would be my suggestion, which is a good middle-ground between 1440p & 4k resultion:

And after all this is said and done, and you can STILL afford to pay an extra $168 on a i9 9900k then just do it.

 

[justin.lopez0322]

You are awesome thanks much for your help!

 

[SgtScream]

Yeah no problem. If you end up going with the above build, then what's an extra $168 anyways right?

 

[justin.lopez0322]

Exactly that is what I'm planning on doing!

[justin.lopez0322]

Itll be worth it, and I actually may get 2 monitors!

It sounds like you might be financially capable of supporting 4k resolution:

[justin.lopez0322]

This should be a BA computer I'm excited to get started

 

[justin.lopez0322]

Would this video card be compatible in the mean time if I didn't wanted to get started earlier? Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti? I could not find it on PC part picker

 

[SgtScream]

Yes, it will be compatible.

 

[justin.lopez0322]

Awesome do you know if it's worth the price I've read a lot of good reviews

 

[SgtScream]

We are talking about the reference 2080ti listed from nvidia right? There were some QC issues earlier in the year, but I think they've straitened everything out. That reference card won't be clocked as high as evga or asus and the cooler won't be as good, but it will do it's job and you'll have a great experience with it.
