Welcome to the forum rfolgore! Good RTX 2080 video card to rule the roost pretty well.
What will be your uses for this new pc, and what monitor and resolution will you be using with it ? See, if you are just playing games & normal web surfing, 32 gb RAM might be way unnecessary and you could save a little or spend more on another component. If you do video encoding, cad, graphics or photo editing then you may want or need that 32 gb RAM. So tell us a little about use planned and monitor you will use....so we can better judge your nice build....

I plan to use this for gaming and I want to feel very comfortable with performance. I understand that the ram is a little Overkill but I want to have no worries. For my monitor, I have an ASUS VG248QE 24" Full HD 1920x1080 144Hz 1ms HDMI Gaming Monitor

Everything looks good here. I would get i9 9900k though because the rtx 2080 delivers crazy performance. Wouldnt want your performance to be maxed on the cpu, which causes bottlenecking to your gpu's true performance. A maxed GPU can always be upgraded but a cpu would be more costly.

The 600 watt psu is fine for an average system with 1070Ti. If you get into higher overclocking then bumping it to a 750watt would be better.
