My PC Build

Heyo, so, this is my build I did for Christmas. I had known I wanted to upgrade to a new computer for about a year prior to this. I was previously coming from a 4790k (great chip, great overclocking potential), a GTX 970, along with a MSI z87m which I had bought new back in January of 2015.
Choosing and considering each and every component for this build took a while(I’d say about 3-4 months of constant researching). I watched videos and read reviews for each part I considered. I had many nights where I debated: “Intel or AMD”. However, after long debate, I opted to go with Intel. It’s obvious that AMD’s price to performance is amazing and their chips offer good multi-core performance, but I had really wanted to go with Intel again. Upon researching chips, and following tech channels, I chose the 9900k. If I didn’t go with that, I was going to go with the AMD 3800x instead which was my runner up.
Cooler is a Corsair H115i (280mm) left over from my previous build, to keep the monster of a CPU adequately cooled. For the Motherboard: MSI MEG Z390 Ace. I decided to go with MSI again, since I was used to the bios and familiar with their products, plus it has a 13 phase VRM on the board. The RAM was the easiest to choose. 32GB G.SkiI Trident Z RGB. I had bought it off of Newegg’s black friday sale and it performs amazing. Storage: I had 2 left over storage devices from my old computer. A 3TB Hitachi Deskstar (on it’s last legs lol) and a OCZ Vertex 460A 480GB (Used as a boot drive on my old pc). In researching I bought a m.2 off of eBay for pretty cheap, brand new on auction for $80. The m.2 nvme is used as a boot drive on this build. Also, for Christmas I was gifted a 1TB Samsung QVO SSD. All in all, I have a total of about 5TB of storage. As for Graphics, I decided upon the RTX 2070 SUPER because (for obvious reasons) the budget did not allow for 2080ti and I wasn’t planning on doing 4k. However, it is an awesome card and I personally feel best bang for your buck going on the Nvidia side. I could have gotten away with a 2060/2060S, but I wanted to try my best to future proof this build as much as possible.
I was originally going to stick with my old case, a Raidmax Viper Gx, but was looking around for different cases in the $100 budget and came across the Nighthawk 117. I wanted the case to be big and capable of supporting EATX had I gone that route. Has a hot-swapable drive port on top, as well as a sturdy build quality. It is an amazing case and is a great foundation for the build. PSU that I was gifted was also on sale during the Newegg black friday event. A 850 watt 80+ gold Corsair RMx. I was going to get a 1000 watt, but figured it would be very inefficient to do so because there would be great power loss. I wanted a power supply that could also hold well with overclocking both CPU and GPU. The all together wattage of my system is around 500 watts so I have plenty of head room.
This pc isn’t just built to be strictly gaming/streaming only, it’s meant to be a workhorse pc as well. I do a lot of video editing in Vegas Pro 17 as well as some animation/modeling for work, so this definitely helps. The overall build time on this pc took around 16 hours total time over the course of 2 days; from opening packages to finishing installing windows. I learned so much from this build and it was definitely a great experience. Very happy to start my 2020 like this!
