    Hi all,



    Been a while since I built a PC, so I'm due an upgrade-my current desktop is:
    • 4790k
    • Maximius VII Formula
    • 8GB RAM
    • 256GB SSD
    • EVGA 1080ti
    • Silverstone FT04


    Looking to go with a m-ITX build:
    • ASUS ROG Strix Z390-I Gaming LGA1151 Mini ITX
    • Intel Core i7 9700K
    • noctua NH-L9i chromax Black, Low Profile CPU Heatsink 92 mm
    • Corsair CMK16GX4M2B3000C15 Vengeance LPX 16 GB DDR4 3000MHz
    • Corsair CSSD-F960GBMP510 Force Series MP510 960 GB NVMe M.2
    • SilverStone SST-SX800-LTI SFX-L Series, 800W 80plus
    • Streacom DA2 Mini ITX Casing ST-DA2S Silver
    Usage is mainly gaming & browsing, MS office & CAD work. Monitor is a 34" 3440 x 1440 @ 100hz.


    I plan to keep the 1080ti for now, don't see the point in going to 2080ti. Chances are I won't be overclocking the 9700k-however I would like the option to if I change case.



    RAM chosen as its low profile, and will work with the CPU cooler, open to suggestions on this and the SSD. PSU as it's modular and well reviewed.


    Plan to buy all parts from amazon.de/UK, the case is from Overclockers.



    Haven't been keeping more than a casual eye on PC components of late, so it would be great if someone could give this the once over.



    Thanks in advance.
