Those are Canada prices? I've never seen Windows 10 Pro more than $130 in US.

With that build, and the possibilities of new games to come, and the length of time that cpu will be extremely viable, you might as well shoot for 32Gb of ram, the new Starwars online already recommends 32Gb, so it's starting to happen.

The 860 evo is good, but getting relegated to secondary drive status in favor of NVMe drives. A Crucial P1 1Tb is faster, and just as good if not better than the 860, and most likely cheaper.

The i9 9900ks is really nothing more than a standard i9 9900k with voltages and boost factory adjusted from 5.0GHz on a couple of cores to 5.0GHz on All cores at factory turbo settings, with a permanent bump in TDP from 95w to 127w. Not much of a bonus for the price difference, especially on an overclockable cpu that you can bump/lock yourself. AMD tried the exact same thing years ago, taking an FX 8350 and modifying the voltages and clocks to create the FX 9590. Exact same cpu, resounding failure. The FX 9590 went from 125w to over 200w and cooked every aircooler there was. Can't see as this'll be much different for Intel.

Is it a good build? It's a freakin monster.

ill take a look at cruicial p1

Dial back on the psu and on the cpu (to something like the i7 9700k) and you might be able to fit a RTX 2080 TI there instead of the 2080 Super.

Agree with Finstar on both PSU and CPU. On the CPU the 9700K is but fractions of the 9900K and the money saved can go for the very best GPU which will ultimately make a huge difference now and going forward.

Hi, this is my personal view: That build looks really awesome, but.....

I would avoid is the 9900KS, really not a good choice price/performance wise against the 9900K (you can get similar performance with it). Also the 9900KS only comes with 1 year of warranty, instead of the usual 3 years (maybe Intel didn't trust too much on its new CPU?).

Also I would do what other said about the Crucial P1 and maybe the PSU for a Seasonic.
As for the 9700K is an awesome CPU today, I can't said otherwise. But getting that one without HT is not a good idea at all. Not when most newer games are already able to push more than 8 cores (BF5, SOTR, The Division2, Hitman 2, etc.). Not when new consoles will come with an 8 core/16 thread cpu.

Cheers
