Hi and welcome to the forumes! couple of questions to get started:

Whats the main use of this pc going to be? are you going to continue doing work on a laptop and then only gaming on the pc or are you expecting to do work on the pc as well?
What type of games are you likely to play and if its also for wrok what work?

What monitor are you planning on using? resolution and refresh rate?
And whats the budget you have for this build?
 
Hi NovaKill4,

I will be using this PC mainly at home for work and gaming (laptop will still be with me at work and when traveling).
I use corel, photoshop and autocad + office a lot...
Games will be anything like Metro exodus, call of duty modern warfare 2019 (when it comes out), Tomb raider and some racing simulators or RTS.
As for monitor I am waiting for the new Aorus FI27Q-P, but i will keep at 1440p for now.
Budget is not so important but for my tower and some case modding I am planing to do later (I would like to make the front nzxt panel more breathable and custom paint on the case) I would like to keep it around 2.500 max.
 
You're heavily over-spending on the motherboard in my opinion - you sure you need the extra features over the Aurous Elite? That's nearly £400 on a motherboard?! The saving could bump you up a tier on other components.
 
Hi ExRayTed,

I know but I have 2 local area networks at home so I need 2 rj45... My other option would be the aorus ultra and use the wifi for one of the networks...
Would that make more sense?
 
I'd always stick with cables to be honest but given the saving wifi could be a possibility. Why do you need 2 networks anyway? (just curious)
 
There is a 100mbps network for home use (netflix, wife, kids, downloading) and my personal network 50mbps for uploading/downloading work loads and gaming which i need at full speed all the time as my work files are several gb.

Unfortunately the gigabyte pro wifi is not available in europe, but still i like the master better and hopefully will be better for future upgrades (maybe 4000 series)

Finally I got almost all my parts (still waiting for my AIO) but the build came out very nice.
Temperatures are good and 3800x boosts at 4.450
