I stream once in awhile but it is very rare. I will mostly be gaming and regular consumer use. I will be gaming at 1440p and want high fps and max settings. I am willing to go up to a 2080. I cant justify the price tag for a 2080ti. I will go with the 8700k as well because it will perform better. I was considering 9900k and was told it was not worth it for my usage and to get the 8700k instead.
I would say thats fair enough.
If you can afford the 8700K and add up to a RTX2080, then sure go for it.
But if you cannot afford that combo, then i would rather gimp down to a 9600K and still grab that RTX2080 instead.
I can afford it fortunately. I could even go 9900k and 2080 ti if i really wanted to, but that 2080ti is just ridiculously priced and not worth it. I cant justify that much on just 1 gpu. that gpu costs almost as much as this whole new/upgrade build!

I want one of the best CPUs out and it to last 5+ years with no performance drop off. I was originally going for 9900k and was advised against it. The 8700k was the suggested replacement for my usage so I will go with that. I will get a large capacity SSD at some point in time, I have a bunch of large capacity mechanical 7200rpm drive I need to use first. I want 2-3tb SSD so waiting for the price to drop some more.
If you do not plan to upgrade for years then its the best build IMO. i9 9900k is the fastest CPU you can get and RTX 2070 is more than capable for 1440p gaming or even some 4k gaming too.
this seems to be the final build unless anyone has other suggestions. I dont plan on upgrading anything for at least 5 years(MAYBE gpu). https://pcpartpicker.com/list/D8GpYT
Looks good to me, the Scythe mugen 5 is always a good option too with no clearance issues. Also, I havenāt had the best of experiences with zotac cards, so Iād personally look for another brand if theyāre at the same pricepoint, however your mileage may vary.
