Hi folks,


I realize this is another build advice question, so I'm sorry in advance for bothering you fine people. I'm just a little confused about some of the part combinations that I had planned for my dan case build.


I'll be soon receiving my Alienware 34 inch Curved Gaming Monitor (AW3418DW) that can run at 3440 x 1440 resolution @ 120Hz. Yes,  I'm finally making the plunge into ultra widescreen gaming.


In order to run this beast, I was eyeing some of the new rtx 2080 cards (my old system's still rocking a 980 TI). From what I've recently read (from a post made in the last few days), the MSI rtx 2080 Ventus card (not overclocked) actually fits in the case, and I'm a big fan of MSI. I'm also planning to use the Corsair SF600 Platinum rated power supply.


As for CPU, I was eyeing the i7-9700k with a Noctua NH-L9I for cooling (not the best, but fits the case and is quiet). Ths will all sit on an ASUS ROG STRIX Z390-i gaming motherboard.


So, here are my questions/concerns. Is this even possible, or is this going to overheat very easily? As well, is it possible to make this a relatively quiet system? I don't want it to be loud...I've had systems like that sound like a jet engine and they drive me crazy. Finally, is the SF600 sufficient for this, or am I going to run into problems at full load?


Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
