What is the system for? Is this a gaming rig? If so, you dont need 32gb of RAM. No game on the market uses more than 16gb. You also have a lot of storage, 7tb is a bunch. So if you dont have a lot of particular files to put there, then I may bring that back a little.

The NVMe SSDs are great, but for most users, you wont see much of a bump in performance from a much cheaper SATA SSD. Unless you are doing large file transfers in processes such as video editing, I would go with a cheaper Crucial MX500 1tb SSD.

Use the money you would save on the RAM and a SSD and get a 2080.

You could also go with a 2700x over the 9900k. Performance is really pretty close but the price is very different. By going that route and the changes above you could get a 2080ti.

It is a very nice system with highend parts, but you could save some money by making a few changes.

If this is for gaming, I would go with this. I would also suggest a good monitor to go with it.

Thanks for the response Grandmaster! Primarily a gaming build, but I built a server a long while back for music and pics. I figure I'll move everything over to the new rig as hard drives have gotten so big.
