Hello Yea Forums frens. I am building a gaming PC for the first time, and I am very nervous about it. I would like to tap into the giant brains of this image board to check my work and point anything I missed putting together my rig.
Here's the specs I'm considering CPU: Intel i7-9700k GPU:RTX 2080 SSD: 250 GB HDD: 2 TB Barracuda RAM: 16GB G Skill Aegis Power Supply: Seasonic 850W Motherboard: GIGABYTE Z390 Aorus Pro Case: Thor V2 I plan on reusing the the Screen, keyboard, mouse and wireless network card from my old prehistoric rig.
All of this plus fans will come out to the tune of of 1800 buckaroos. Am I going overboard? There are certain parts (the case, the motherboard, SSD) where I'm not sure if I really NEED to go for the premium price. Also, do you think I'll need a soundrive? I'm very eager to hear what you fellas think.
Hi user, my build is similar except I went ryzen instead of Intel. Definitely splurge for the ssd, I would even rec a bigger one (500gb-1tb) if you can afford it because games are getting more expensive all the time

Ah I see. Since I was going to have both and SSD and an HDD I wasn't sure how much going big on the former would help. I was thinking of going for ryzen, but most places I look online were of the mind that intel was overall better for gaming. What's the problem with Intel? Is it the price?

PSU is way too big, get a modular around 600w instead (keep it seasonic though)
I would highly recommend getting a quality SSD and motherboard. It doesn't need to be super expensive or "gamer" edition, but you certainly dont want those parts to fry. Cheapen out on the case if you want, theres plenty of quality product for any budget. I'm not sure what a soundrive is, but I dont think you will need it at all. Intel's perfectly fine, dude is probably just shitposting or an AMDshill.

I would avoid getting a 2080 btw, get a used 1080Ti and increase the SSD size
