As the title states, I am looking to build a new system!

I am by no standard an expert at this which is why I am here looking for advice, I do however have basic knowledge and have built a system in the past (a good 9-10 years ago with a GTS 450 + AMD)

This is going to be a project for the next month or 2 (and I will update this post with all pictures once started)

What I am looking for is advice and suggestions based on what I have ready to order. The main use for the system would be general use and gaming (plugged into my QLED 65), I won't be using a monitor at this point.

CPU - i7 9700k LGA 1151
GPU - EVGA 2080 8GB
Motherboard - ASUS ROG STRIX Z390-H (I picked this one because of the M2 ports which I wanted to use)
RAM - DDR4 Corsair Vengeance 2x 16GB 3200Mhz
Cooler - Hydro H100 (dual 120mm)
PSU - Corsair Modular RM650
Case - Any suggestions? (I don't want anything plastic/cheap looking)

Water cooling? I would like to look into this but not sure where to start)

I haven't used the M2 ports before which is why I wanted to include them. Is there any advantage over M2 from SSD?

Again, take it easy as this is new and I may be way off from what I have picked.

Look forward to suggestions :)

I noticed the RAM is less than what I originally planned.

Would I see any benefit in going for 4x 8GB (Quad Channel) instead of dual channel? (Again, not sure if this is a thing for AMD or at all)
