I am considering building a PC for my research on deep learning, here are the components I have on my mind;

CPU: Intel i9-9900k (8-core, 16-thread, 3.6 GHz, 5.0 GHz Turbo)
CPU cooler: Coasair H100i Pro RGB AIO Liquid CPU Coole
Motherboard: ASUS ROG Maximus XI Hero
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 DRAM 2666MHz
SSD: Samsung 970 EVO 1TB - NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 SSD
HDD: WD Red Pro 4TB NAS Internal Hard Drive
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080
Case: Corsair Crystal 460X RGB ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: EVGA Supernova 1300 G2 80+ Gold, 1300W Fully Modular NVIDIA SLI and Crossfire Ready

The total cost is about $2,360.

I would appreciate it if any of you could please take a look at the components and let me know if it is a good build.

Best,
Wei

Thank you!
the 3700X is probably your best bang for the buck (got confused with the 3900X.)
the 3900X has more cores. the 3800X has the same amount of cores as the i9.

but the 3900X costs about as much as the i9, so it depends on what you think ill be better
saving a buck (but getting the same performance) with the 3700X and maybe upgrading to the 2080 ti,
or getting the 3900X that has more cores but costs the same or atleast closer to the i9 9900k
looks like a good pc overall,
but might be better off with ryzen (3800X)
it has more cores that might scale up with your deep learning, and theyre about the same speed as the i9's cores
also an accompanying mobo will be cheaper so you might even be able to get an upgrade to the 2080 ti or a bit more ram

Thank you, I will talk to my advisor about the choice of the CPU and considering upgrade to the 2080 ti.
