So I am wanting to build a new gaming build here soon more specifically an intel build, my current build is this. I would use my current Ryzen build as a backup/streaming pc if I ever wanted to stream so it doesn't have to be a I9 9900k or would that be better? I currently have a good setup so I wouldn't need anything else I play on 1440p 165 hz monitor. I realized I left out fans also I would be down to do liquid cooling but don't know how pricey it would be

Budget would like to keep under $3200 and I dont know when I plan to build this but soon are there any new components coming out soon I should wait for or is this gen ok?

Your suggested build looks okay.

My only recommendations, really, are to swap to 2x16GB RAM if possible. That way you have an upgrade path still if you needed it.
Also to change from a 6TB HDD to something like another 1TB SSD (Samsung 860 Evo) and a 3TB HDD (any really). You're more than likely better off using two smaller hard drives rather than one massive one.

First, I'd ask why you're spending another $3k on a new system now? Your current system is more than capable of playing games at 1440p165Hz and streaming.

Ditching the AM4 platform for LGA1151-V2 which is gonna be useless next year makes no sense to me. If anything, swap your 1800x for an R7 3700x or maybe an R9 3900x.

Also the RTX 2080Ti is not worth the $1200, especially since you have a 1080Ti. Just hold on to that 1080Ti until you have a real upgrade from it.
