Solution
Here you go on the on the Intel side with a 8700K. I have added the Gigabyte Z390 Gaming X motherboard which has a great 10 phase VRM and is cost effective. RAM at DDR4 3200 and a decent Gold power supply. A 500GB NVMe Crucial P1 SSD which is very fast. This should give you an idea as to what you can do. The 8700K is a great Gaming CPU but if you can get the 9700K even better as it is right up there with the 9900K on the gaming side.

I have not added the GTX 1080Ti as I presume you already have it...but if not just add...

You could go to a 9700K which is only about $25 to $30 more

Okay that looks really good and the 9700K matched to the RTX 2070 Super will be a great combination. The only thing I would say though not critical is try to get DDR4 3200 as it should be very close to the 3000 price and is the sweetspot...Other than that, this will make a great gaming PC that will last a long time and pretty much batter all games into submission...
