Need help with additional components

[naytahn]

I'm building my own machine for the first time and I have a pretty large budget. I'm just curious what your opinions are on the GPU and CPU I have in mind. I'd also like to know any suggestions for a motherboard that can handle these components, how strong of a power source I'll need, and the best cooling system required. Also if anyone has a better source to purchase these components please enlighten me, thanks.

CPU, overpriced and unnecessary for gaming. GPU, well basically not out yet, so all I can say is that it will likely be the fastest available GPU for gaming.

Having a powerful GPU is great and all, but what were you thinking for a monitor? Not much sense in having an RTX 2080Ti without something like a 3440x1440 ultrawide or 4K display.

As for the CPU, we should have Intel's new i9-9900k as a more economical, and higher performing for games, option in a short while.

If this is your first time then just getting a massive CPU air cooler or All-in-One liquid cooler would be the safest route. Best would be a custom liquid cooling setup (which can add around $600 if starting from scratch)

Motherboard is very dependent on the form factor you want. This computer can be as large or as small as you want it. Mini-ITX is an option all they up to Full ATX or EATX motherboards and chassis.
