Question New Gaming PC, around $6000

[zettez]

Backstory
I joined a small start-up and where I live it is much more beneficial to receive a computer than be paid a salary. I have a buffer with money so I will be fine for the coming months (currently I live very cheaply). Because I cannot get a salary but a computer, I want the best possible parts for my PC. I will mostly play games on it. I am not really interested in cost-efficient parts. I will overclock my CPU and maybe overclock the GPU. I will only buy an AIO cooler for the CPU, nothing for the GPU. I do not want to have any flashy lights from the case, so I will go with a very "minimalist look" with no see-through case. The limit will be around $6000, give or take a little. I can always discuss with my boss if I want to increase the limit. Currently I run a 1080p 144hz monitor but I will upgrade to a 1440p (not 4k) 144hz.

The Build
Currently my build looks like this:

CPU: The CPU is great, I am not sure if there is any better for gaming.
CPU Cooler: H150i looks really good.
MOBO: Expensive but also top of the line.
RAM: Fast 32GB RAM that is also on the QVL list for the chosen MOBO.
Storage: 1TB M.2 SSD, that is enough for me. Also the fastest one I could find.
GPU: I am thinking about doing a 2 GPU (SLI/NVLink?) with the newest ASUS RTX 2080 Ti Matrix.
Case: No see-through, good reviews, plenty of place to build.
PSU: 1600W might be a bit overkill but I want to overclock the CPU and I will probably run 2 GPU.
Other: 3 case fans to replace the ones that come with the case. These ones are the same that are in the CPU Cooler chosen (these are 140mm and the ones in the cooler are 120mm).

Am I doing something completely weird? I want the best parts and I am not that cost efficient as I will not get a salary in the beginning anyways. What about heat if I run 2 GPU? Is there anything else I should think about? Is there any other MOBO that is better? I had to chose between this one (ASUS EXTREME), MSI GODLIKE and GIGABYTE AORUS.
Will I be able to run 144hz on a 1440p monitor with all settings maxed out (ultra)? I also checked on the sticky thread "$5,000 Ultimate Everything RGB Build" but I wanted to discuss these parts as I think these are better.
All help and comments are very appreciated!

Edit: There is no price for the GPU yet that is why the total amount is so much lower than the budget.

Edit3: Added monitor sentence

You will not be able to get high frame rates at 4K in games like Monster Hunter World, Cyber Punk 2077, Witcher 3. Better stick with 1440p as you can enjoy high fps at very high settings.

Ok so I should stick to a 1440p and not a 1440p ultrawide? I just want to hit 144 FPS on my 144Hz screen on ultra settings. I do not mind skipping 4k, but I am on a 1080p now and not sure which one to choose.

 

[zettez]

Yeah exactly - buying the most expensive parts does not make the best rig, nor does it mean that you chose the best parts necessarily. It just means you paid $500 for a motherboard that has the same features as one that costs 1/2 as much.

This goes in in my other post, but are not those $500 worth something? A few percentages in performance?

With this current setup 1440p 144hz is achievable and will be satisfactory to use instead of 4K.

 

[SgtScream]

That is good thinking! I wonder if I can get my hands on one of those.

That is reassuring, so you think with a single RTX 2080 Ti I will be able to play on ultra and get 144 FPS with my ultrawide monitor? I have read reviews from others that claim it is not supported in most games and I am better off with a 1440p 144hz to get my 144 FPS.

Well I disagree, but I understand where you're coming from. If that's the case regular 1440p is the choice, you definitely don't need a second 2080 ti.

 

[King Dranzer]

MAXIMUS EXTREME and FORMULA boards are maily focused for extreme overclockers who try to squeeze every last bit of performance possible from the PC. That board will make sense if you plan taking the Custom-Watercooling route. For regular system go with MAXIMUS CODE it will be better suited.

 

[g-unit1111]

This goes in in my other post, but are not those $500 worth something? A few percentages in performance?

Not really. The $300 motherboard overclocks almost identically and has the same features as the board that costs twice as much.

 

[g-unit1111]

This is great advice, thank you. The thing is my company will buy the computer and I thought maybe it is better to opt for a more expensive component even if it only gives 1% increase in performance. If we compare our MOBOs, is not the more expensive one a few percentage better in quality/features/overclocking performances?

I see, so RAM speed is redundant after 3000-ish? Why are there RAM that are advertised as up to 4600? Is there any way to reach those numbers?

I rather go without a window just because I get distracted by flashing lights and stuff. With that said, I do not mind RGB components being inside the case where I cannot see them, if the parts are better performance wise. I agree it is stupid to buy a component with RGB for $500 more that has the EXACT same performance of another component that does not have RGB. The question is, are they really identical or will the RGB component perform slightly better because of price/release date/other factor?

1. As was already stated, the super high end motherboards are for people who try to squeeze every last bit of performance from their CPUs. If that's not you, then you don't need the $600 board. The $300 will suit you better.

2. Yes - most of the higher end RAM speeds are achieved through overclocking. They're mainly advertised that way to appeal to the hardcore overclockers.

3. The RGB components won't perform any faster than their non RGB counterparts. You're paying extra for the lighting and that's about it. Otherwise they use the same DIMMS and b-die as the non RGB RAM.

dude, with that build, hope you play in a 60 inchs screen, if not, you have more than what you need

i can play each game of the market in my i7 1th generation with a 2013 GPU in a 24 inch screen

That's more dependent on resolution than anything else. A 60" 1080P screen is the same as a 24" 1080P screen. A 60" 4K monitor is the same as a 28" 4K monitor. Having a bigger screen size does not reflect what your frame rates are.

If you really need to have best gaming experience around that budget then above listed builds will tick most of the boxes. Both the builds perform similarly one is simple and other is eye-catchy.
Monitor, Audio-card, Keyboard, Mouse and Headphones I included are just to give you option and my personal recommendation for best gaming experience. You can have different choice.
This will give you best experience for your budget.

Has it been established if this needs to be a pre-built or self-built PC? Selling parts that are new in box is more profitable if you can.

For a gaming rig, once you get over about $2,000 (for the tower) the cost effectiveness curve basically goes flat.

I wouldn't waste/ spend that much $$ on the mobo you chose.

Can spend a lot of money ($1,000+ EA) on monitor(s).

What about a VR headset also?

Here is an insane gaming pc. I has a case with no side windows and black aesthetic. All of the components are black and white. This offers an insane liquid cooled 9980XE, 2 2080tis, 2tb NVME and 2b SATA ssd, 128gb 3000mhz ram (it costs much more for faster than 3000mhz), and 1000w psu.

Here is a slightly more gaming oriented system, however i figured for work the i9 9980 xe system is best. I think if you are going for best gaming performance you can use 2 2080ti and if sli causes issues just disable one.

Could be that and a 9980xe system. What are some good dual motherboard cases? A shame case labs is gone.

Nobody recommending Optane SSD? Odd.

Hmmmmm........RTX2070 in combo of two 1440p 144Hz monitors(probably you miss clicked it twice) is not going to work well. RTX2070 in combo of even single 1440p 144Hz is meaningless specially for the games OP listed. They are demanding games and will just clear 60fps mark at best.

Nope. Not a miss click. I always run dual monitor setups, but only for productivity. I only ever gamed on one display.

I was bit anxious about pairing two 1440p 144Hz monitors to a RTX2070. Thanks for clarifying it.

Motherboard: Great reviews and good overclock features.

Memory: Fast 32GB RAM with low CL.

Storage: Fastest M.2 I could find. 1TB is plenty for me.

Video Card: Reading some reviews, this looked like the best card currently available.

Case: Closed case with good reviews.

Power Supply: 1600W is big overkill but otherwise it is good.

Case Fan: These ones have good reviews too. Quiet and efficient.



Still a bit overkill yes, but I think it looks better now. Please tell me what you think and if there are any other components that would provide a higher performance and not because it is cheaper.

Get the MAXIMUS CODE or even HERO and you will get same result. There is no question of getting lower clock speeds or less stable OC with that board and you will be saving lot of money. That $500 board is meaningless expenditure.
The GPU listed is out of stock. Strix RTX 2080Ti is a good alternate and is available in stock.
That Memory kit for $500+ is way overpriced. You can get 3000Mhz memory for $220 and OC it to 3600Mhz+ no problem and make it run stable. Second thing unless you are being extremely competitive 3000Mhz is already decent for Intel.
1600W PSU is again waste of money specially for single RTX2080TI. 850W or at max 1000W is more than enough. Even 1000W is overkill but if it is prices with marginal increment over 850w PSU then still it makes sense. 1600W PSU is meaningless.

Get the MAXIMUS CODE or even HERO and you will get same result. There is no question of getting lower clock speeds or less stable OC with that board and you will be saving lot of money. That $500 board is meaningless expenditure.
The GPU listed is out of stock. Strix RTX 2080Ti is a good alternate and is available in stock.
That Memory kit for $500+ is way overpriced. You can get 3000Mhz memory for $220 and OC it to 3600Mhz+ no problem and make it run stable. Second thing unless you are being extremely competitive 3000Mhz is already decent for Intel.
1600W PSU is again waste of money specially for single RTX2080TI. 850W or at max 1000W is more than enough. Even 1000W is overkill but if it is prices with marginal increment over 850w PSU then still it makes sense. 1600W PSU is meaningless.

Thanks for the input. I will take this into consideration and update accordingly. Even if it looks foolish I want to get as much as possible from my boss haha. But maybe I can ask for a salary later on. I will check with him. Anyway thanks for all the help!

for 50 to a few hundred dollars you may want to add some mass storage drives like a large sata hdd or ssd.
