Looking to buy sometime soon and want some advice

Welcome to the forum Rambler94!

That’s a strong Aventum gaming build you have assembled.   
Nice to see someone taking advantage of the inexpensive choice of case color. Like the white aesthetic...always looks sharp (as in hides the dust...lol). with RGB lighting.   Good to see you boosting the warranty...3 yrs parts replacement is a very smart choice.   

The i9-9900X is an appropriate top gaming 8 core 16 thread CPU that will Stage 2 Overclock very well.    Should serve you very well.

I should mention here that for gaming 16 gb RAM is all you would need, but RAM prices are fairly reasonable at the moment and while 32gb might be overkill just for gaming, a little future proofing overkill won’t hurt.    Corsair Dominator is the quality top dog in RAM and has the most aggressive RAM heat sink, but the Corsair Vengeance RAM would also be an excellent choice.

Your mobo choice with the MSI Carbon is fine, however as you are Stage 2 OC and using top RAM and 2 top GPU’s OC’ed...you might consider moving up to the stronger ASUS Z390 ROG XI Hero or MSI MEG Z390 Godlike boards as a better power matchup for this big build!

I recommend you move up to the excellent Corsair AX1200w digital modular PSU for Platinum level efficiency.    Longer warranty.   I have run one of those for many years and it’s an excellent PSU.

As budget does not seem to be a worry here, you should know that to save money... DS usually uses stock air cooled RTX 2080 Ti cards and removes the fan shroud and heatsinks, to replace it with a DS custom water block.    They can if you wish order any specific brand factory water block cooled RTX 2080 Ti you might desire...such as the excellent EVGA RTX 2080 Ti Copper or any other card you might want.   That said, 2X of the top GPU, on water cooling will get you the best graphics performance to be had in consumer gaming.    

Your HydroLux Pro cooling will be excellent in the big Aventum, and flexible tubing is the smartest choice for surviving shipping intact...and for the ease of getting around it to clean or do any upgrades/maintenance.     I do understand the desire for color, I’ve done it too...lol...but I have to say that clear coolant is the more practical choice for quick & easy coolant fluid top offs down the road (no color mixing) and the ability at all times to see clearly how clean or dirty your coolant might be.    Those excellent Corsair LL Series RGB fans are the most RGB unique fans with both a lighted outer ring and lighted hubs, and there’s 14 fans on that monster build so it’s quite a big deal.     The ML Series fans do have longer lasting mag lev bearings, but the more simple RGB light show is no comparison to the LL Series fans.    I have a Lumos rig with the LL fans, and it’s amazing the range of different color schemes you can design.    The DS noise tuning is a waste of money...   You would still hear 14 case fans regardless of speed tuning, and the rather obvious point of all those big radiators and 14 fans in the Aventum case is MAX cooling, so you should want the top fan performance and speeds necessary to keep all temps under control.    You will download the Corsair iCue software to control the colors of your Corsair RGB fans and Corsair RGB RAM.


That’s my take on your build...going to be a killer Aventum gaming rig!

Lol... Thanks to hose for catching my omission for switching to the Samsung M.2 NVME SSD !

M.2 NVME SSD drives are 5 x faster than SATA SSD drives...
You will actually have two M.2 slots on the Z390 mobo where you could use an M.2 NVME drive, so do take advantage of that. You could do a NVME drive 1 for your boot/op system drive, and a NVME drive 2 for your game files.

oh man i just seen yall when i posted that, thank yall for the input!

Also......I was planning on 3 Monitors 4k curved with gsynk, is it worth it haveing 3? or just one big ole curved one?

You definitely want an NVMe drive for your primary OS and often used apps. It's not needed for your games so much. If all you do mostly is game, the 250Gb Samsung 970 EVO may be all you need for those things. But, you definitely want that speed when you're booting and scanning for viruses and malware, etc.! Then you could go with the 860 EVO for your games library, and an HDD for everything else.

Your RAM doesn't directly affect speed of your storage devices
