On my old system I need to remove everything just using the case power supply SSD drives and put in a new
Intel mother board (ASUS as I like that brand)
Intel core
Water cooling (I know nothing about this so need help on this part)
New ram 16GB min (I need the ram very very high MHz)
New Card (RTX but not sure what one)

If I forgot anything am sure you can post that
Cost: I have nothing in mind when it comes to this

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £1726.03 (includes shipping: £11.10)

Is intel definitely the way you want to go with your new build, AMD seems more bang for buck at the moment...

I'm guessing this is going to be used for gaming, if so what monitor are you using?

When you say watercooling do you mean a AIO or an actual loop you put together yourself?
 
 
If you want overpriced crap then intels your company, go for the 9900k as to be honest nothing else in there line up makes any sense... and even the 9900k makes only a little.
If you do come to your senses and might be interested in an AMD chip then we can give you plenty of really good performance / £ builds that are far superior to what your going for.
Ohh and i wouldnt touch a chip without hyperthreading, the lack of threads available from say a 9700 will really be a big deal in a year or two time.

I have had AMD for 10 years and I know how it runs and I can tell you yes somethings are better than Intel but only somethings Intel has many things better than AMD I am also going with Intel and I want a change I don't care if it costs more
 
I, like many here, give advice on whats best to spec and buy.
Right now thats all team red for 99% of folk.
So unless you have a very specific requirement set then most folk will struggle to give you intel recommendations.

If your not going to give resons then why ask for advice?
 
If you mean why Intel and not AMD I already said why I want to go to Intel the system I have now is AMD its 10 years old the system before that was also AMD it was got back in 2000 I want a change and try out Intel this time

I dont understand the logic here...you want to switch to an inferior and more expensive platform just because you have not tried them in a couple of years?

This is literally like buying a 2010 Fiat Punto for more money than a 2019 VW Golf GTI

What resolution are you going to be using?
 
Indeed, OP, the reason people are recommending AMD is because the current AMD CPU's offer the best performance for their price range, the only Intel CPU worth considering is the 9900k but it is expensive and you can have 85-90% of the performance for 60% of the price with an AMD Ryzen 3700X.
 
To all that replied I asked for Intel based PC not AMD as OC has both I dont see why no one can post the info I asked for.
Can staff please close this post I have decided on what I am getting
 
If you are going Intel (Not going to get into the AMD vs Intel argument) I would go with a Gigabyte Z390 Aorus board such as the Ultra or Master. They have far better VRM's than Asus at the same price point. You get better warranty support as well and a forum rep.

For the gpu if going with a 2070 Super I would take the Gigabyte Gaming OC as you get a 4 year warranty when registered online.
