Requesting feedback for my first build
Hello r/buildapc!
I have started on my quest of building my own (first) gaming pc. I would mostly use it for pretty high end games (think Witcher 3, Assassin's Creed Oddysey, ..., but also things like WoW) and some VR.
I have assembled a list of parts that I think would fit my needs (and then some...), but since this is my first build, I would love some feedback from "the experts", meaning you!
Motherboard
MSI Z390-A PRO motherboard LGA 1151 (Socket H4)
Processor
Intel® Core™ i5-9600K
CPU Coolers
be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 Processor Cooler
Memory/RAM
Corsair DIMM 16GB DDR4-2666 Kit
Graphics card
GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 2080
Case
Aerocool Aero-1000 Midi-Tower Black
PSU
Corsair TX650M power supply unit 650 W
Hard drive
I have a fairly new SSD (Bought 6 months ago) of 500GB in my current pc that I will keep.
What I would like to hear from you is some feedback on this list, any recommendations to better or cheaper parts, or general advice that you need to share.
I thank you in advance

What resolution do you plan on playing at? Are you going to overclock? I am not 100% sure but at low resolutions in not so demanding titles you may be slightly cpu bottlenecked but it will still be good
Resolution will probably be 1080p to 1440p, I have not decided on a screen yet.
I'm not sure what you mean by the bottleneck for low resolution in not demanding titles?
It is where you gpu is pushing more frames than the cpu can handle I would recommend doing some research on pairing that processor with that gpu
Yes, but I'm just confused as to why you specified less demanding games as being bottlenecked?
I found this combination of cpu and gpu on an article, so I figured it would be alright
Ok less demanding titles mean they do not require high gpu power games such as Minecraft fortnite isn’t that demanding either You will be getting over 60 FPS in all titles so don’t worry about it
At that point, it doesn't matter if its CPU bottlenecked or not because it would be pushing north of 300fps. RTX 2080 should be good for playing games like the Witcher 3 with super sampling at 1080p or 1440p.
I know I was saying it won’t truly matter but if he cares
