Hey there! I am trying to build myself a mid to high end computer and would like your opinion on what I chose so far. I am struggling to pick a case as I don't know if everything will fit properly and I don't really want a hard case to work with as this will be my first build on my own, but this is what I got so far! I do want to mention I would like to have a black and red theme if its possible, I think I can achieve that with what I have so far.

CPU: I would have went with the 9700k but I got an 8700k for $400 after tax, so I thought the value is much better here.

CPU Cooler: I went with what had great reviews and seen that it was in some decent builds.

Motherboard: This was a really difficult one to decide but I finally went with this as it will be good for overclocking and looks very nice with all the RGB.

Memory: I am going to get one of the 2 I listed not both, whatever I can find at a better sale over the next few days.

Storage: I am going to buy either a 250 gb or 500 gb M.2 for windows and games, whatever is a better deal and also a 1TB SSD.

Video Card: I would like a RTX 2080 hybrid aka with own water cooling after reading about how much cooler they run, I seen the seahawk go up for sale at a good price, but sold out before I seen it. What do you think about this, can you recommend me a good brand please.

PSU: I chose this as it has a 10 year warranty with allot of good reviews and a decent price.

Case: I would like something with tempered glass, black or black and red and like I mentioned before, easier to work with, but it doesn't have to be as long as I know everything fits. Air flow is also important to keep things cool.

Thanks so much for any help!
