The Digital Storm 1TB M.2 SSD is a SATA part, not NVMe. It is up to 5 times SLOWER than an NVMe.

Without knowing what monitor resolution you will be using, it's a guess about what video card you may need. If it's 4K, you will not be at all happy with a 2080; if it's 1440p (2K), you can save a lot of money and get very excellent results with a 2070 SUPER, which is THE price/performance pick at that res. If it's 1080p, The 2060 SUPER will be great.

John18 is right about the i7-10700K. Intel CPUs are really overpowered just for gaming these days, and the extra cores in the i9 are wasted. The 10700K will game for well more than 5 years out IMO. You are unlikely to ever need 32GB of RAM for gaming.

Seems to me what you want is a 10700K, 16GB of RAM, a solid motherboard, solid PSU, and an NVMe M.2 for primary drive. I prefer the 512GB Samsung PRO for two reasons. A lean and mean primary drive for OS, apps, browser and maintenance software, plus room for several of your favorite games is far easier to scan for viruses, malware, spam and adware than a larger drive. The second reason is the larger drives are more pricey than they are elsewhere, and it's easy to get your own.

This build, with a 2070 SUPER for 1440p gaming is within your budget:

Config 3208141

Comes in at $2347 after discount.

A Lumos build with the same parts except the DS RAM instead of Vanquish is $2414 without fancy fans, and $2613 with. Both after discount.

I'm not sure about that wireless card. I'm hard wired, so... but almost no one ever needs one of those. Curious. If you have any other specific needs we don't know about, let us know and we'll try again.

Originally posted by John18 Try this. Config 3207512 I see no reason for the i9. Get the i7-10700K instead. Also I set this up with 16GB of RAM, since I didn't see a reason for you to need 32GB. I downgraded you from the 2080 Super to the 2060 Super. For $232.00 you can move up to the 2070 Super. I changed the storage to the 1TB NMVe M.2 from Digital Storm. Some will suggest the 500GB version, but I went with the 1TB version. I left the CPU Overclock in, but took out the CPU and the OS boosts, which is in line with the general conscientious here. Price: $2237.00

Thank you I went with your configuration.

You went with a SATA SSD for your primary drive, and a single fan cooler for your CPU with an overclock??

Yes...best wishes.
