Building a PC from ground up.

budget around $4000 for PC only.
*Must have a 512gb ssd and a 4TB hard drive.

Corsair Crystal Series 460X RGB ATX TG $232
Windows 10 Professional 64 Bit $205
MSI Z370 Gaming Plus + i7 8700k $780
Corsair H115i Pro RGB 280mm liquid cooler $205
MSI RTX 2080 GAMING X TRIO 8GB GDDR5 $1439

500GB SAMSUNG 970 Evo NVMe M.2 SSD $349

No monitor or other peripheral needed.
Not too sure if I should add a CD Drive into the mix as well.

Please advice, been 7 years since I last build my own PC very out of touch.

1. Go download the PC Themes price list
2. Try to research on your own and do some basic listing.

nowadays ppl seldom use DVD drive. Your specs looks good.. do you really need Win 10 Pro, if not can opt for Home.

Did some. Everything seems more expensive as compare to the last time I build my!
Coz inflation, rgb fever, more expensive manufacturing process, brand greed, shortage of stock, local mark up, and many more reasons that stack to today's pricing.
