[SOLVED] Is this a good deal? RTX 2080 Ti gaming PC

[marcusdr]

Hello. I am thinking about buying a new gaming PC. My last PC has long since died and was waiting to see what the 10th gen ice lake processors would be like and possibly by a gaming laptop instead to have some portability.
I have however just found this desktop at Scan computers. https://www.scan.co.uk/products/3xs...dr4-11gb-evga-rtx-2080-ti-xc-500gb-ssd-2tb-wi (LN93682 scan.co.uk £2,349.98) I have only just started researching but it seems as though this is an incredibly good deal for a top of the range Intel i9 and RTX 2080 Ti.
Let me know your thoughts.

B360 and a 9900k is a nogo for me.

B360 and a 9900k is a nogo for me.

And a 550w psu with no mention of make & model would also put me off.

What resolution and Hz will you be gaming at? Will the pc be used for anything else?

Unless you are gaming at 4k or 1440P at 144 Hz, a 2080Ti is a LOT of money...; if playing at 1080P, a 2060 Super or 5700XT instead would make the rest of the components seem free)

But, I can't imagine someone laying out $1300 on a GPU, $500 on a CPU, and then cheaping out on a B360 over a proper Z390....(ever!)

That´s nearly the configuration of the system mentioned + about 50pounds extra like mousepad and recovery drive:

Replace the PSU to a good (warranty at least 5 years) 650W, use a kit of DDR4 memory to get dual channel, get a Z390 board

You can get this for that budget. Better quality build and components. Specially Z390 board supports OC for i9-9900K.
