[SOLVED] Buying PC components help

[Encored]

So i was looking to build a new pc and after 2 weeks of thinking where i can save money without losing optic i came up with this. I am open for any changes except the Rtx 2080ti and the cpu . I need your help where i can save some money. Also i want to overclock my cpu to 4.8GHz is that possible with a 240mm AiO Cooler? Thanks in advance and sorry for bothering but i am a noob and never built a pc before.

If you want to start by saving money then go to am4 platform. Picking an RTX 2080 Ti i think the minimum you will be playing is 1440p so the cpu single performance does not matter anyway. Ryzen 7 3700X will give you the same performance in games and you will have double the threads with 35%+ better multicore performance. You can find some good X570 motherboards at 200$ price point too. So you will end up saving 50-60$ and have pci-e gen 4 nvme support. You can skip the watercooling 3700X have a decent stock rgb cooler and boost it self almost at his max potential. Also i would pick at least a seasonic focus plus 750W gold or platinum.

Can i fully overclock the CPU without liquid cooling? I will play on 1080p 240FPS High settings if that is possible i dont really know a lot about what needs multiple Cores and what not . Do you think AMD is still the right move when i am playing very high FPS on high settings? Thanks for the answer i will look more into this AM4 stuff.

You don't NEED water cooling for OC, may air coolers are the same if not more effective. See point 6 here: https://forums.tomshardware.com/thr...when-selecting-parts-for-a-custom-pc.3510178/

You'll find the difference between the 3700X and 9700K is minimal, but the Ryzen has double the amount of threads so will outperform on multitasking usually. So when the 3700X is cheaper, it usually just seems to make more sense to go the Ryzen.

Also the RGB Smart is OK, but there are better PSUs.

The EVGA CLC attached is a good value for performance water cooling that is a bit noisy at times but excellent cooling to enable more OC headroom if needed. OR just stick to stock cooler the upgrade later if needed.

teh 3700X will fully or very nearly fully overclock itself on its stock cooler as part of turbo. Overclocking thresholds are starting to disappear as factor turbo boosts get better.

Here is a 3700X build on air cooling, about $80 cheaper than your original build:

Added to my point earlier as i was editing:

Also 650W is enough, I've just linked a good quality 750W if you per chance wanted that headroom, if not @ScrewySqrl PSU recommendation is excellent.
