Review / Advice

Budget:
Don't really care

Expectations:
I'm sure I'll love this new machine as much as I have loved my last DS purchase. I expect to upgrade components in the future as needed, but not for a few years.
Just want to make sure I'm not missing any excellent boosts, or that I did not overbuy where I don't need to.

Usage:
Plan to play Crowfall (if it ever comes out) on 4k screen.
Expect to purchase a VR system by year end.
Nothing else very strenuous.

Special Needs:
None

Thanks hoserator. I have never had liquid cooling, and I'm still reading about it to get a better understanding and comfort level. My only personal experience is a friend that had a liquid cooled system 7-8 years ago and had some leaks. I'm sure the technology has gotten a lot better. I wasn't sure about the optimal liquid cool system / overclocking vs price

I'll be running 3840 x 2160 on my 40" Samsung UHD-TV

I would second what my friend Hose told you about liquid cooling that config...DEFINITELY you want to use the Corsair H115i 280 mm AIO sealed/no maintenance cooler and Overclock that excellent CPU.   That K Series processor was made by Intel to be Overclocked, otherwise you are not getting all the performance you are going to be paying for.    I have run Stage 1 and Stage 2 Overclocks on 3 of my 4 DS rigs and had no problems for years.   Stage 1 OC is Free...Stage 2 OC only costs $99. DS stress tests your rig extensively at full gaming load and has the Overclocking experience to set it up right at the best possible frequency for you.

As you are planning on using the rig for 4K on a large panel and for VR... I would recommend you use the new RTX 2080 Super GPU or the top of line RTX 2080 Ti for the very best results.   The Ti is still the pricey uber top dog in GPU's and has more VRAM (11gb vs 8gb) that VR can utilize.
