[SOLVED] Looking for advice on new build

[Replicator85]

Hey Guys

I was looking at builiding a new computer and just needed advice on picking some parts.

I would primarily look at using this PC for gaming.

I am looking for advice or suggestions on if these parts are going to go well together but happy to hear alternatives

Intel i9 10900K
CoolerMaster Master Liquid ML240R (Happy to hear Non-Liquid options)
ASUS ROG Strix Z490-E
Corsair Dominator 32GB 2 x 16GB 3200MHZ
Samsung 980 Pro M2 1TB
2 x WD Black 8TB
ASUS Geforce RTX 3070 KO
Seasonic Focus Platinum 650W

Thanks in advance all

Hi Replicator85.

Do you really need 700 dollars worth of drives?

Do you have a maximum budget for this build?

What is your monitor resolution and refresh rate?

 

[Replicator85]

I currently have 2 ASUS Predators X34's as monitors 3440x1440 at 120HZ

For the 8TB drives, I was looking at going cheaper on the 2nd drive as its just going to be a clone of the 1st 8tb

Maximum Build price i was hoping to keep it between 4000 and 4500

I would aim for a bigger PSU, around 750 watts.

Also the 240mm AIO may be on the limit if you are going to OC that 10900k, if thats the case then I would look for at least a good 280mm one.


As for alternatives:

If its cheaper (in some markets could be ~U$100 less) go with the Core i9 10850K which will give you the same performance for less money.
Or if you don't mind going one step down, the 10700K should also be awesome for gaming at 1440p.
