Hey guys thanks in advance!
This is my first time building a gaming pc and I may have gone a bit overboard but I want to make sure im getting everything right/compatible. Im actually a controls technician for hvac systems so wiring and connections aren’t an issue at all, but this got very complicated quick! Here are my specs.

Intel I7-9700k
ASUS ROG Maximus x Code
ASUS GeForce RTX2080 8gb ROG Strix oc edition
Thermaltake Water3.0 cooler 240mm
250g Samsung 970evo ssd (os)
I tb Samsung 860evo ssd
Seagate ironwolf 6tb
32gb(2x16) Corsair Vengance RGB Pro 3200mhz
EVGA Supernova 750 G3
Thermaltake view 71 case shipped with 3 140mm fans

Still waiting on power supply to arrive so I haven’t even run it once. I’m building this to get into VR and wanted a system that could fully handle it. So my question is, does this all look like a decent system? Haha and secondly am I supplying enough cooling with the three 140mm fans and water cooler or should I look into more? Any help is greatly appreciate! Thanks guys!
 
Solution
You have to update the BIOS. Download the latest version from https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/ROG-MAXIMUS-X-CODE/HelpDesk_BIOS/
Unzip and rename the ROG-MAXIMUS-X-CODE-ASUS-1801.CAP file to M10C.CAP
Save the renamed file on a FAT formatted USB drive.
Connect the USB drive to the designated USB port. Check the manual to locate it: https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1151/ROG_MAXIMUS_X_CODE/E13461_ROG_MAXIMUS_X_CODE_UM_WEB.pdf page 2-12
Do not start the board. Just make sure that the power cables are connected to motherboard and PSU is on.
Press the Flashback button for 3 seconds.
Wait until process completes.
