Save the liquid cooling pointlessness and put the money towards a 2080ti and epic monitor instead.

What's your budget and do you already have a monitor?
 
Yeah 3,500 I guess wouldn't mind it being lower but I'm also happy to go a little higher than that if worth it
No monitor yet still trying to figure out witch one is best really
Also the liquid cooling if I get rid of that will liquid fans still manage an overclocked i7 9700k

Absolutely no need to get anywhere near your budget just to game on. Or did that budget include a monitor?

Below is £2338. Leaving you over £1k for a top notch 1440p 144Hz gsync monitor, keyboard and mouse.

Agreed with SlimCini's advice above.
(Edit: I had this window open before seeing the spec suggestion - so apologies for any differences - but you get the idea)

You can get an all-in-one water cooler for the CPU, which is a lot cheaper than a full custom loop and still perfectly well effective.

This lets you save for a better monitor.


I'd also suggest a not-quite-so-massive case, a larger M.2 SSD, and an HDD for mass storage.

The AORUS Master is a bit better as a motherboard; has decent VRMs and a few extra features.

As for what monitor is best, that's down to personal preference. For this build and budget and for gaming, something like 1440p 144/165hz, 1440p ultrawide 100hz, or 4k. As long as it has gsync.

Oussebon is better at builds than me so I'd take his over mine 9 times out of 10. But at your budget you really should be getting a 2080ti. No reason not to if you get the monitor to do it justice.

Maybe do his build and swap to a 2080ti?

The core thing should be a 9700k, a 2080ti, 16gb of the fastest ram going, at least 500gb of a top speed m2 ssd and a 1440p 144hz gsync monitor. The rest is your choice really.

SlimCini's build is good too - the AORUS Pro is a very good mobo, the Fractal Meshify is a good case. And are fine options if you want to save money - especially if you don't need wifi or USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type C at the front (and frankly, who does need 10gbps USB at the front...)

And yes, with this budget the 2080 ti would be an ideal choice especially for 1440p ultrawide or 4k. A 2080 or 2080 ti would be more than fine for 1440p gaming.

The core thing should be a 9700k, a 2080ti, 16gb of the fastest ram going, at least 500gb of a top speed m2 ssd and a 1440p 144hz gsync monitor.
Agreed 100% (other monitor options potentially being open of course) :)

Cool. :) Maybe consider your options for spec and monitor, and post back up when you've got a revised build.
