Is this for pure gaming or gaming plus like editing and stuff? Cause for $2.5K you can build a 9900k+2080ti build already.
1. 9900K is better than the 9900X across the board, there is no reason to buy the 9900X. The 9900K is superior even doing work that HEDT would normally do.

2. The H80i is awful, get either:
A beefy air cooler like the Dark Rock Pro 4 or NH-D15
or a quality 280mm AIO such as an EVGA CLC 280 or Corsair H115i PRO.

3. Get 3000 MHz or higher RAM, and make it 2x16GB, not 4x8.

4. Gen4 is not supported on that motherboard, as far as I know it's only supported by the AMD X570 chipset motherboards right now. Though it's not a real difference over PCI-e Gen4 that normal users should be worried about.

5. 1000W is way overkill, you don't need more than a 650 or 750W.

This advice makes no sense for quad channel RAM.

Z390 would make more sense because the 9900X is inferior to the 9900K. With that budget as well, 9900KS would render the 9900X even more pointless.

For 9900k you're right. No one denied.
But as for me, I'd prefer i9-10900x over i9-9900k. Not for a gaming though...

CPUs like the 9900K/KF/KS that have excellent performance across the board are immensely greater than value than something like an HEDT. And the 9900X is just barely faster on the multi-threaded side in terms of the time it takes to complete the task, usually seconds.
Given the fact that the 9900X basically costs twice as much, it's quite frankly one of the most stupid purchases one can make.

Depends on the task. I use HEDT for scientific computations. Either Wolfram Mathematica or self-written programs. Believe me, X-series CPUs run them MUCH faster.

850W is overkill, you only need 650. If you can find a good quality 750W for a good price you can get that too.

What CL is that 3333 kit? 3200 CL14 might be slightly better, and Intel doesn't benefit much above 3200 at all for gaming.

@OP: you really don't need 32GB RAM to play games. 16GB is sweet spot for now. You can always buy another 16GB later.
He’s doing a full loop, that will need a D5 pump I would stick with the 850 watt PSU for some headroom

A pump isn’t going to use 200 watts unless i’m mistaken?

Then yeah, a 650W will be enough or a 750W that’s reasonably priced.
