Hello! First of all, english is not my first language, so I'm sorry for the grammar mistakes.

I want build a new pc for play games, streaming and video edition.

Last time i built my computer was 6 years ago so i'm kinda lost.

CPU : Ryzen 2700x

CPU Cooler : I have Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100i

Motherboard : Asrock taichi 470x

Memory RAM : I was thinking about G.Skill - Flare X Series 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL14 , BUT after i read the Memory QVL , that ram isn't on the list.

Video card : 2080 TI , here is where i don't know which one choose. ¿Is worth pay 200-300€ for extra 150-200 mhz and better cooling?

Storage : SSD 970 EVO NVMe M.2 250GB (I have extra hdd's : Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 1TB , Seagate external 2 TB and Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 500GB)

Case : I own a Corsair T600 from my last PC. I should be fine with that case ,¿Right?

Power Supply : I have Corsair TX850M 850w from last PC.

Right now i have Dell UltraSharp U2412M 24" LED IPS and want use it as secondary screen.
I'm looking for a new one with this spects: 27" , 1440p , Freesync & 144hz. (Around 400€)

I am open to any changes, thank you for your time :)

At 1440p, a 2700X is a great pairing - every system will have a "bottleneck", but a 9900K vs 2700X at 1440p would be negligible.

Not all "DDR4 3200MHz" will work on all motherboards - Samsung BDie shouldn't have a problem, and certain kits using Hynix.
The FlareX kits for Ryzen should be BDie, so *should* be fine.

The reference 2080TIs are solid enough, but an aftermarket 3 fan design is what I would aim for. Beyond that, they're much the same (sans binning/clocks etc). Once you get into 2080TI territory, they're similarly binned and it's a matter of the best cooler &/or aesthetics.


The 600T can certainly be used, no compatibility issues etc.
TX880M is more than adequate for a single 2080TI setup.

For Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti you should get Intel i9 9900k because Ryzen 2700X can bottleneck the rtx 2080 ti & also DDR4 3200mhz Cl14 works on almost every motherboard . You should also get better quality psu like Seasonic Prime Ultra Titanium 850W or Platinum 850W . For 2080 ti you should get aftermarket card like Asus Strix rtx 2080 ti or evga rtx 2080 ti ftw3 ultra for better cooling because founder's edition are very noisy & have worst temperatures . Your case will be fine but to show your new hardware you should get one with tempered glass . You can get either Phanteks P600S or Fractal Design Meshify S2 these case have good airflow & Phanteks has sound dampening also . For monitor you should get Asus PG279Q it is a bit more pricey than you specified but it is the best 2k ips 165 hz gsync monitor .

Lol yeah sure just spend another $1000 that ought to be better.... (Aimed at first reply)

Op your build is solid. If the cooler is older you might need an am4 bracket for it from Corsair.

Flare ram is designed specifically for ryzen it'll work
 
I spent the past 20 minutes looking around at R7 2700X + RTX 2080 Ti performance, and it would be just fine.

The old orange label TX850M is bronze rated and is probably out of warranty after 6 years of ownership. Unless you have the new grey label (2017) TX850M, then I would recommend getting a new high quality power supply with this expensive new build.

I would also like to add that gaming with an RTX 2080 Ti at 1080p resolution is cutting yourself short anyway. Game on at least 1440p or 4K with an RTX 2080 Ti and the Ryzen 7 2700X is more than adequate.
