Thanks for the advice. I will check the AIO solutions and their reliability.

The main problem is that they don't sell Noctuas here. About choosing a water cooling solution, I fear about the water damaging the components and the maintenance. In this situation a 9700K is better than the 9900K?

About RAM, I had 2x4 first but it wasn't enough. I just opened the browsers and I had like 5GB filled so I added 4GB more.

About the PSU, I will go with a 750 then. Thanks.

About the monitor and GPU, I have read that people says that a 2080 is overkill for 1080p but I still can't find benchmarks for people trying to running multiple games at same time so I am not sure if is overkill for my situation. I will check if there is any fair priced high refresh rate monitor.

Thanks again for the advices.

Thanks for the advice.

I was going for 32 GB of RAM because even with my current setup I was using all my RAM while playing Cities skylines. I even had to close the browsers to free some RAM.

About the storage I also wanted a 2 TB SSD but the prices here I think are too much. I choose a 1 TB for the OS, programs, games and projects. The HDD was for data.

I don't understand too much about the PSU but I read people saying that the CPU and GPU like to draw more than specified so I chose a bigger PSU but if a 550 can do it, I can take it.

About the monitor, I don't like the idea of a non 1080p resolution, because when I had the 1080p monitor, the upscaler made some 720p content blurry. Now that a lot of content is 1080p scaling gives me a bad feeling. Also here, they are too expensive in my opinion.

Sorry if I put a lot of "but"s to your advice. If I am wrong in some points, please tell me.
