[SOLVED] Building Gaming desktop How’s this?

[Wolfie01]

I am building a gaming desktop in 2 weeks and have been getting a build together if I could have a pro look at it that would be great! Don’t be afraid to recommend something better, I will be building it myself I have built 3 so far in the past 4 years for me and some friends (not a pro)

I’m going for intel , new RTX, budget Close too 2100$ as possible but if something just gives it the sweet spot I’m down.

My current idea

(For few that can’t link click)
-i9 9900k
-Kraken x62 cpu cooler
- MPG Z390 GAMING EDGE AC Z390 GAMING EDGE AC
-16gb ripjaws 3200 ddr4
-Hdd wd blue 2tb
-ssd’s 860 evo 500gb, 250gb , m.2 970 evo 500gb
-msi 2080 Rtx x trio
-Phanteks Enthoo Pro M TG
- g3 750 + 80gold ps
-Asus disk drive

If you must go intel, that will work.


If you are building in 2 week the 12 core ryzen 9 3900x will have already launched and may offer much better value for your money. It will also allow for a better upgrade path to 16 cores saving you money down the line.

I don’t know why i Just have a thing against amd parts and I’d like to stick with the like I don’t wanna mix amd cpu with a gtx card @remixislandmusic

 

[NightHawkRMX]

Ok amd cpu+nvidia gpu works fine btw.

The i9 9900k still offers great performance when pired with a good aio and good motherboard, like it is in your built. A9900k is the best cpu for gaming currently.

 

[Wolfie01]

Oh I was told before mixing the two could have some effects when doing some tasks, that’s my fault, sometimes I’m unsure and think if I could change something in this build I’ve been saving for a few weeks now getting it together for this build so I want it to be spot on, could you recommend a good budget 4K monitor for gaming I had this in mind Philips 276E8VJSB 27"

could you recommend a good budget 4K monitor for gaming I had this in mind
Philips 276E8VJSB 27"

Personally, I wouldn't go for a 4K monitor for gaming yet, especially at only 27". At that screen size, you might be hard-pressed to notice that much of a difference in sharpness between 2160p (4K) and 1440p resolution in games at typical viewing distances, but you will likely notice a big difference in frame rates at the screen's native resolution, due to the graphics card having to render over twice as many pixels. Plus, 4K screens are limited to a 60Hz refresh rate at this time, unless you get one of the handful of displays in the $1000+ range that offers that resolution at 144Hz, so even if you manage to push much higher than 60fps in some less-demanding titles, the monitor won't be updating the screen more than 60 times per second. For gaming, a 1440p, high refresh-rate screen with adaptive sync seems like a better balance of resolution and performance, and some models can be found starting at around $300 or so.
