Heya folks,

I was just wondering if this is a good rig =)

MOBO - Asus ROG Maximus XI Extreme
RAM - HyperX Predator RGB 32GB
PSU - EVGA Supernova 750w G3
STORAGE - Samsung 860 Evo 1TB
CPU - i7 9700k or 9900k
COOLER - Asus Ryujin 360mm AIO
GPU - Asus ROG Strix 2080 OC
CASE - Corsair 500D SE RGB

If there is anything you would change then let me know =)

Kind regards,
Fate05
 
Will you be custom water cooling the build?

If not then that Motherboard(even though you love it) is useless and waste of money as you can get equally or even better looking board at much lesser price. Get MAXIMUS XI CODE instead of EXTREME.

Spend that extra money towards RTX2080Ti.

If you are spending $2.5K you can get better performing build packing i9-9900K and RTX2080Ti instead of RTX2080.

I was actually thinking going for the formula and then getting a 9900k and maybe a 2080ti

FORMULA again is better-suited for custom loop cooling and is expensive for that additional layout and tweaks which is useless for a regular user.
CODE is best suited.

Yes, 9900k and 2080Ti will be a crazy combo.

I am going to get a custom loop in about 2-4 months so the formula will be better to have for when I do set that up. Haha yeah my Mum's partner has a 9900k and a Gigabyte WIndforce 2080 and that runs insane so if I had a 2080ti it would be even better haha
 
Yes if going for a custom loop then FORMULA will make sense. If that is the case I recommend getting Corsair H60(2018) model. Don't spend on ASUS ROG RYUJIN 360 which will only be used for few months that is waste of money. Save that money and spend towards custom water loop.

Spend that saved money to get 1000W PSU as overall power draw will be above 750W specially with custom loop cooling which will maxout and push the 750W PSU to limit which is not good. Having 25% headroom to max will have the PSU running at lower loads and more stable over time.

Sweet. Hey thanks man!
