Being an amateur on my first build, I need some expert opinions. I've debated for months on prebuilt or going for it myself, and I've chosen to go for it. The PC will be used for gaming/streaming, and video editing. I have the following picked out:
CPU: I7 9700k
CPU cooler: Kraken x62
Motherboard: MSI MPG Z390 Gaming Edge
Ram: G.Skill Ripjaws V series (2x8GB)3200
GPU: Rtx 2070
PSU: Evga supernova G2 750w
Storage: Samsung 500GB ssd + 2tb WD blue hd
My main questions are:
1. I hear so many different opinions on the rtx 2070 but I'm obviously not getting a 1080ti so, next best thing right?
2. Is the kraken x62 the best bet for what I'm running?
3. This is minor, but I've read the G2 supernova is better than then the G3 and considerably cheaper, thoughts?
4. I'm undecided on a case, just wanting something easy to install the kraken and maybe with extra fans already installed? Opinions?
I have quite a few other questions but don't want to make this post a novel, so thanks in advance for the help.
 
Solution
1. The GTX 1080ti out performs the RTX 2070 and is on par with the RTX 2080.
2. It depends on the case.
3. Solid PSU!
4. Check out the corsair platinum series AIO and the x570 Case. Another good one is cooler master AIO with the H500M case.

The 1080ti is twice the price or I would be going with that. I know this is a silly question but will the kraken have thermal paste or will I need aftermarket paste for that? I'm thinking the Phanteks Enthoo pro m for the case.
