So, I'm trying to figure out prices and what I want to get. I'm from the U.S.. I have a 65" 4k tv that I plan to use as my monitor. As the title says this will be my first gaming PC. I've done some research and I think I understand the basics of what I'm trying to do. So first I'll put the link of what I was looking at for all the components that I'd need.

https://www.pcmag.com/article/363417/how-to-build-a-kick-ass-gaming-pc-for-less-than-1-000

Next is the link for the 4k prebuilt that I used as a starting point for pricing.

https://techbuyersguru.com/best-2500-extreme-4k-gaming-pc-build-january-2019

Here is the list of components that Im so far leaning towards.
Original list.
case -

darkflash phantom black ATX mid-tower

$199.99

cpu -

intel core i9-9900k

$539

motherboard -

ASRock Z390 phantom gaming 6 LGA 1151 (300 series)

$185.99

gpu -

GIGABYTE AORUS GeForce RTX 2080 8GB

$789.99

memory (ram) -

Corsair Very RGB pro (4x8GB) 32GB 3200MHz

$299.99

storage -

Crucial MX 1TB

$129

Power supply -

EVGA Supernova G2 750w

$103.09

So far before tax it's $2,248.04. I'm trying for a 4k capable gaming PC with the possibility of overclocking. My questions are, would this set up work? Would it be capable of what I'm looking for? Is there anything that is better than what was mentioned that is cheaper? Or what components Don't matter for what I'm trying to do that I could just find the cheapest ones of? Is there anything else that is absolutely needed? also with most of my starting knowledge coming from those two links and looking at the specs of the stuff, how would you say I did with choosing components?(last question is out of personal curiosity)

This is what I would do with a 4k build in mind. The 2080ti will make more difference at 4k than the 9900k it's a little more but I think it's a much better 4k setup


I just threw a $200 case in there because you said $200 for case... Obviously not required to be that expensive


Edit: never ever build a $2000 computer that's not almost entirely SSD... That's actually where my extra cost is
