You do have some issues there.
You may not have noticed, but the motherboard you selected is a micro ATX. I think you should rather select a full-size board. The ROG Strix is fine as is the MSI Gaming Pro Carbon. Your power supply is not enough. 600W will not run a 2080 SUPER, the configurator should have caught that. Get the 850W Corsair. The SSD you selected is a SATA drive. Available and recommended is one of the Samsung NVMe M.2 SSDs which runs on the PCIe bus and is 5 times faster. The M.2 form is very slim and flat and fits a slot on the motherboard. You can get a 512GB Samsung 970 PRO for your primary drive, and add more SSD storage of your choice later. Storage, whether NVMe or SATA, is a really easy thing to upgrade yourself. The internal lighting strip is free. You should consider the free stage one overclock on the CPU. You have the cooling for it, and the chip is designed with that headroom. You don't have to, but it's safe when DS does it. |

Thank you for your advice. I already submit my order (yesterday) Is there a chance for me to change these parts before final build?

Congratulations and welcome to DS. Cretae gives solid advise. You can call DS and change the configuration early in the process. Keep us posted. |

There is plenty of time. Most important change would be the power supply for sure. In normal times, I would think DS people would never let that slip by them, but I fear these are not normal times with the virus around.
The motherboard is not a huge deal, but you would be better off with a larger board, easier to add things to, and with room for a few more features. A micro ATX is for very small cases, which yours is not. Upgrading the SSD to an NVMe M.2 is also not an absolute must, but you will be very happy for the life of your machine that you got that 5 times faster hard drive to work for you. DS Sales is who to call. Have your order number handy. You can call direct at 1-866-817-8676. Or, you can go to "Support" > "Request Help", and fill out a ticket for a call-back. Remember, they are only open from 9-5 PACIFIC TIME. |
