Do you plan on using the CD/Disk drive?

If you can fit a small SSD like a 120gb into your budget. Do it. You don’t want a hard drive for your OS.

The i9 is a powerhouse and especially if you are gaming, you’ll want to get a better CPU cooler.

$176 for 2666mhz ram?? You can find the same ram at 3200mhz for the same price. Newegg or Amazon. You need to have faster ram if you are going with that i9.

It's a rather unbalanced rig. In addition to Jay's concerns (which I share), is your specific photoshop and video editing work actually the kind that will see benefit from a workstation GPU?

 

[Mooons]

I agree with what DS is saying about the work station GPU.

My question is why not 10th gen and a Z490 board? Prices are comparable.

... and yeah, putting a $30 cooler on an i9 isn't advised. Agree with Jay about the storage and ram too... SSD... faster ram. Both are a must.

Unfortunately the GPU situation is horrible. That is not an optimal choice for one.
I wish there were an obvious answer for a good alternative, one that a person could go and buy readily, it just isn't happening. .

I just built an I9-9900k last summer. It's my CAD station. I do FEA and Motion and Rendering too.
It's very fast. But even with good cooling it's not much for OC. 5% maybe, 10% at the most. Not like the old days were you could a get 30-40% improvement.

Cooling: It's also a very hot running ezbakeoven, even with watercooling w/ an H100i. I would not consider air cooling on this CPU. The H100i is about $150 and worth it.

Storage: You are doing storage intensive tasks. If you want it to be fast, switch over to M.2 drives. Or SSD at the very least. Say goodbye to spinning platters unless you just need massive amounts of storage. In which case, get your OS, Scratch, work disks as the SSD/M.2 and once you are done with the project move it over to a spinning platter.

Motherboard: I got the Maximus Hero XI from Asus for my build. Seems OK. Asus makes good stuff, you are OK there.

RAM: Go Faster. My board does 3600 w/ corsair memory (I have 128GB). Now there are 4000mhz chips on the market.

GPU: My personal opinion is to avoid AMD at all costs. nVidia all the way.

Power: if you can find one, bump that up to 750 or 850. They don't like running at Maximum.

Don't get a 9900k. You can get a 10700k, for less, and get the same performance, with better temps. A 212 is not enough cooler, for a 9900k. Also threw in an SSD.
