Hey first time posting. Looking to buy a PC from PCspecialist.com here is what I've chosen but I would love some feedback

Case: BE QUIET! DARK BASE PRO 900 FULL TOWER GAMING CASE

CPU: Intel i7 8700k

Motherboard: Gigabyte Z370P D3: ATX, LG1151, USB 3.1, SATA 6GBs - RGB Ready

RAM: 16GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR4 3200MHz (2 x 8GB)

GPU: Nvidia 11gb rtx 2080ti

Storage: 500gb Samsung evo ssd


Power: CORSAIR 550W TXm SERIES™ SEMI-MODULAR 80 PLUS® GOLD, ULTRA QUIET

CPU cooler: Corsair H115i PRO Hydro Series High Performance CPU Cooler

Extra fans: Corsair LL120 RGB LED Fan + Controller Kit x3

My budget was £2500 this comes to £2600.

PC will be (hopefully) used to play newer AAA games at ultra 1080p now 4k in near future

Wrote on phone sorry if it comes out weird

Thanks for any feedback, it is greatly appreciated

RTX 2080ti would be better with a 650w psu, especially if you plan on any OC whatsoever, a 550w is squeaking it.

The DBPro 900 is really nice, but it's kinda on the huge side, any full tower is, wondering if there's a need since your components will be lost in a sea of empty space. There's many mid ATX towers that are just as good, much cheaper.

500Gb of storage doesn't go all that far when you consider the OS takes @80Gb and there's several games that when you include the online content like dlc's can easily top 100Gb for 1 game. Might want to invest in at least a 1Tb hdd for some of the games folders, running the saved games and steam from the ssd.

Well that depends on the quality of the PSU. A solid 650W will do fine as long as it's a quality PSU. The only reason you would need more wattage is if you run 2, 3, or 4 way SLI but that's about it.
