Theses are my parts
I9-9900k
Asus XI Hero AC
NZXT x72
gskill tridentz 16gb 3600
2tb Seagate 512gb Samsung ssd
Either 2080 or 2080ti asus card
H700i case
Evga 800w
Windows 10
Nzxt 140fans and hue+


My question is : should I build online or should I go sls (I’m kind of a noob so I wanted to go sls to ask the guy build for me) if I go sls which shop should I go to? Or should buy parts online and ask a guy to help me build? Advice please!!!

Building a PC is an enthusiast thingy. If you want to just spend money to get someone to build.... prepare to receive lots of pm from here :)

Just build yourself. It's very easy. I recently build my PC for the 1st time too.

Evaluate your parts.

1. The 9900k is *very* hot and throttles a lot. Intel has also cut off/limited supply to DIY shops. 9700 is a better deal.

2. Intel doesn't benefit from RAM speed above 3000ish, so you can save money and get a 3200 set.

3. Why the Asus MB and GPU? You're easily spending $500+ more on just the Asus brand name.

I need the onboard WiFi as connecting a lan cable will be impossible where I’m living

Can just get a PCIe Wifi Card or a USB Wifi Adapter, will probably be cheaper. But if you're solely relying on wifi, might want to get a decent one rather than those $5 where the quality might not be as good.

Can't seem to find the question here, both have the same result that someone is building a full build for you.

If local, the usual PCtheme? I've ordered from mynextcom online too, and full build by them and either self collect or delivered. With your 9900k build, many shops happy to welcome you.

If buy online, bring to Nigel in SLS for online parts and bring him for quote for his help to build.
