[SOLVED] Pre-Purchase Compatibility Check

[invictus_maneo]

Hello, I'd like to start ordering my components within the next 2 to 3 weeks. I've been planning and saving for my build for over a year now. Everything look okay to you guys?

Main Usage: Gaming, Streaming

CPU: Core I7 9700K
MOBO: Rog Maximus XI Hero Wifi-AC (Z390)
CPU COOLER: DeepCool Captain 240EX RGB
RAM: G-Skill Trident Z 16GB (2x8) 3200
Storage: Samsung 860 Evo 1TB
GPU: Asus Strix GTX 1080TI ( Recommendation welcome )
PSU: Evga Supernova G3 80+ Gold 750W
Case: Lian-Li PC-011dx
OS: Win 10 64Bit

I may overclock eventually, so I was thinking about getting a bigger PSU. Maybe a Seasonic?

Very nice build, the G3 is plenty for the parts + overclocking but depending on what your spending on the 1080 ti you may want to consider the RTX 2080. Also I not really a fan of DeepCool AIO's... seem cheap and the last think you want is for it to leak and destroy your system.

Thanks for the input WildCard. Do you think the performance of the 2080 is better than the 1080TI? I could probably find one for a reasonable price. Recommendation on AIO's? Not really a fan of the looks of NZXT or Corsair AIO. I'm in Canada btw in case that matters

If not NZXT or Corsair I'd look at EVGA or high end air cooling. As for the GPU the performance between the two is close but with the 2080 you'd be able to utilize Ray Tracing and some other new stuff, if the price is about the same I'd get the 2080.

 

[invictus_maneo]

Defintely not bad, you even cut down the cost a little bit but i'm looking to have all RGB components under one program so I think i'll stick with the Asus Mobo.

Thanks for the suggestion!

I was looking at EVGA and Asus. I think I may choose between those two as I would like to have an AIO. I just don't like the branding plastered on the NZXT and Corsair AIO's

The rams and aio cooler are compatible with gigabyte's rgb fusion. The Strix gpu has a visible backlight in the backplate. No major led in the side profile.

 

[invictus_maneo]

So I've refined it a bit more. Thoughts?

Core I7 9700K (CPU)
Asus Rog Maximus XI Hero Wifi (MOBO)
Asus Rog Ryuo 240 RGB (COOLER)
G Skill Trident Z (2x8) 3000MHZ (RAM)
Samsung 860 Evo ( Will add M.2 Later )
Asus Strix RTX 2080 (GPU)

This'll be paired with a 34Inch curved 1440P monitor with G-Sync from Asus.
