Picked up all these parts and will be building it this weekend. Haven't built a computer in a while. Cant wait!
Intel 9700k
Asus Strix Z390-E
Asus Strix RTX 2080
Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 32GB
Corsair Hydro H115i PRO
Corsair RM750x
Corsair Obsidian 500D RGB
Samsung 970 EVO M.2 NVMe 500GB
and tons of other Corsair LL RGB fans lol. I'll post pics soon.

he i7 9700K tops the i7 8700K’s six cores by only a couple of frames per second. All in all that accounts to a roughly 4% increase in overall performance across our benchmarking suite compared to the i7 8700K

asus components are just not what what they used to be
my ROG zenith extreme board has been a piece of shit
6 mos in the wifi disconnects even with driver update, a year in the simple oled have half the pixels half-lit
my experience with gigabyte boards have all been solid, should've stuck with them

doesn't gigabyte have a repair shop in Vancouver somewhere so you're not sending it away for weeks to USA with paying high shipping costs?.

I hated my Gigabyte board, granted that was ~7 years ago now. Overall I suppose it wasn't *that* bad but it has some really stupid stuff in the BIOS.

The only thing wrong from your partpicker was the GPU. I didnt get the Asus - GeForce GTX 1070 Ti. Its the RTX 2080.
Thought about getting a white case but I don't think the Corsair Obsidian comes in white. Also all my peripherals and PC parts were black. So I kept with the black theme.

What I'm curious about is, what colour do you leave it on for normal use? Right now your computer looks like the Pride Mecca 
I have an RGB keyboard, and I leave it on a nice low amber colour. Easy on the eyes, visible in low light, but doesn't take attention away from the monitor. Like a jet cockpit 
PS this isn't to make fun of you if you actually are showing off gay pride. It's just a comment based on how it looks like such a gay trope, and no matter what, is definitely going to burn your retinas eventually | |

I have a Razer keyboard that's RGB. I leave it on the closest thing to white (can't get pure white off RGB) or leave them off.

I also rarely work/game in the dark. My room is usually pretty lit with lamps. Amber looks pretty nice.. going to give it a try.

annoying thing about RGB is if you have a buncha different manufacturer there's no easy way to sync everything
ie having a white glass case i just want everything purple, but it's a pita to set up because the asus software conflicts with the g.skill one which doesnt play nice with the msi one...and the corsair one only works in windows so it's a giant mess during bootup and some of it is still running when the computer is shut off  | |
