    If your buying the parts over time I would say go for the CPU/Mobo first. Now's probably the best time for that if your going AMD since you can get a 3600 for like $150 now and B450 boards are around the same price (or less in most cases).

    Next I would say jump on RAM ASAP because prices are about to get really bad soon as DRAM starts to get more hard to get as smartphone makers buy it up in droves.

    Then get a GPU and last I would get the Case and PSU, make sure not to cheap out on the PSU, get a good quality one.

    hmmm RAM seems to be an immediate purchase based on speculation..

    im going for an i9-9900ks and z390 so i guess that doesnt exactly apply for my build

    the i9 9900ks is barely faster than the 3900x in single core performance and it smokes it in multi core
    once next gen game consoles come out games will be more ai heavy and will need better multi core
    it will age much better and have use for far longer plus the am4 socket still has more chips coming out for it unlike lga1151

    this also
    also 30 day returns at stores/amazon
    you don't wanna hold stuff past that 30 day or you'll be paying return shipping for rma and s*** when something isn't working

    Here's what I put together

    Not going for budget build whatsoever

    Money is no object

    Just in consideration of finding time to put it all together I figured it would be more beneficial to buy it as I go

    buy ryzen not intel

    It looks like all you did is grab some of the most expensive parts you could and slapped them together

    Yeap

    Where can adjustments be made?

    Again keep in mind this is not a budget build

    I want to be able to play league of legends easy feat I'm sure

    But most AAA games like the upcoming Cyberpunk

    yeah 3900x gives you 33% more performance and you can upgrade the cpu without getting a new mobo in the coming years it's definitely a better option for future proofing

    if money is no object you could get a 3950x it's almost twice as powerful as the 9900ks

    here's a benchmark, the cpumark is the raw power of the cpu

    idk if ur trolling and ur desc says to take nothing serious but i have nothing better to do.

    Soundcards don't do anything, buy a schiit stack and good headphones.

    that case is ugly imo for the price but obv thats subjective.

    BUT, it doesn't support ur optical drive so...
