Hello everyone this is officially my first post here.., i'm really looking forward for a positive and entertaining conversation :)

so after doing several research i have come to this build:

  1. Case - Cougar Panzer Max
  2. Processor - i9
  3. GPU - EVGA RTX 2080 XC GAMING
  4. Storage - 1x Samsung SSD 1TB 860 Evo and 2 3.5 HDD WD BLACK
  5. RAM - Gskill Trident - 4x8
  6. PSU - EVGA SUPERNOVA 750 G3

What do you guys think, is it okay? Im having trouble on deciding the motherboard, either to go with GIGABYTE Z390 Aorus or ASUS MAXIMUS or maybe others?.. i heard mix reviews on these mobos, i really need your assistance

and finally, the cooler... is it okay to go with NZXT Kraken X62 or X72 or maybe other brands or not a water cooling (please advice)

Please give suggestions guys, really need it, and if you think that i should go for a low cost rig without sacrificing the performances please just tell which should be replaced..

I really want this rig to last more than 10 years... just like my current rig (its still alive more than 12 years and performing well)

Thank You

some questions, what speakers should i get for this setup? and lastly, is there any recommended trust-able store in US that can help assemble these at an affordable price, well since if i bought it today, it will only reach me in 3 months time when she is coming home, im worried if some of the components are not working properly.. its gonna be very hard for me to ship back for RMA from here.. atleast if it is assembled there, can easily RMA

I think Microcenter charges like $100-120 for assembly. If your near Massachusetts I'd build it for you for free. Don't know much about speakers, I usually go with a fairly cheap 2.1 setup as most times I use a headset. For a good wireless headset I'd recommend the Corsair HS70.

That is very kind of u sir, i believe my relatives stay around the friendship height, Chevy Chase and im not very familiar how close it is with Massachusetts. Thats quite hefty price Microcenter charged :( ..anyway i dont usually use headset cause i can easily get heart attack from the sneak attack and snipers haha ... unless im playing with my friends, hmm guess if i dont have a choice, i will order it close to the date of my friend comin home.. atleast the duration is not that long if i want to RMA .. she said that its best to order in november or december during black friday or cyber day? huge discount.. is this true? does it always applicable to the components you have suggested or maybe jus some of it and its not worth waiting?
