Hello guys! Sorry but I am finally now getting back to this build I started in December. This will be our main house computer for a little bit of everything and probably heavier weekend gaming. Cooling is important and I don't think we will overclock. Want to future proof as much as possible as we won't be building again for several years. I am open to any/all suggestions. Since we are using the Noctua cooler, I chose low profile memory but I suppose with the right case that might not be as much of an issue. I definitely need dust filters and good airflow. Don't care about noise. RGB would be fun but not necessary. I like the look of the tinted glass but again not super important. If you know of any specific issues with any of the components I have chosen, please speak up! Thanks!



A bit more information: we would like to play at 1440 at a fairly high quality setting and plan to purchase a new monitor as well. Shadow of Tomb Raider is of the games so we are wanting to include the RTX card and take advantage of the ray tracing capability of this card. To save money we would consider moving down to the 8700K CPU or possibly going with a less robust cooler since we will not be overclocking.

Thanks!
