Build Check - $1,700 Budget

Hey everyone, I'm picking up some parts in a few days. I've put this build together and would love some feedback—just want to make sure everything is compatible and looks good.

Intel Core i7-9700K (3.6GHz, 12MB, LGA1151) box
Asus STRIX Z390-H gaming
PCI-E NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Phantom, 8GB GDDR6
Corsair 16 GB Kit (2x8 GB) DDR4 2666 MHz Vengeance Black, CMK16GX4M2A2666C16
Samsung 970 Evo 500 GB, PCIe NVMe, M.2 80mm, MZ-V7E500BW 1 unit
WD Blue™ 3.5" 1 TB, 7,200 rpm, WD10EZEX Internal HDD 1 unit
Fractal Define R6 White, Type C, white without PSU 1 unit
650W Corsair CX-M Series, CP-9020103-EU 1 unit
Cryorig H7 Cooler

Thanks!

The CX series is strictly entry-level; you shouldn't be pairing it with a $3,000 build. For a high-end rig like this, you really need to look at Corsair’s RMx series, Seasonic Focus, or EVGA G3—something in the 750-$267W range or higher.
Then again, picking up a 3200MHz RAM kit shouldn't break the bank, nor should adding a 3TB HDD; spending an extra $67 on those components in a $3,000 setup shouldn't be an issue at all.

To be honest, the whole thing seems overpriced. Which retailer are we talking about here? And what’s the actual use case for this PC? For instance, you don't necessarily need a CPU in the $350-$$1333 range for a gaming machine (assuming the GPU is the priority), but hey, if that's what you want... Just a word of advice: don't make compromises elsewhere in a $3,000 build just because you overspent on a CPU or GPU you might not even need.

EDIT

I'm assuming this is from a specific link? The CPU is $1367 and the GPU is $2333... That is way too much.

It looks like we're looking at an Intel Core i7-9700K with 12MB of cache running at 3.60GHz—just the processor itself, boxed but without a cooler included (BX80684I79700K).
So, I've been looking at the MSI RTX2080 Ventus 8G OC. It’s got 8GB of GDDR6, running at about 1800/1750MHz (V372-007R). Maybe it'll do the trick.
I guess it’s the Gigabyte Z390 gaming x, LGA1151 V2.
G.Skill Aegis DDR4 16GB kit (2x8GB), PC4-24000U, 3000MHz @ CL16 (F4-3000C16D-16GISB).
So, I'm looking at the Corsair Series RM550x 2018 power supply—it’s an ATX 2.4 unit. I guess it might work for my setup.
Fractal design Define R5 White, no power supply included, white.
It’s a 1TB WD Blue HDD, 3.5" at 7200RPM with 64MB cache and a SATA3 interface (WD10EZEX). I guess it's just your standard drive.
It looks like we're looking at a 500GB Samsung 970 EVO, M.2 2280, MZ-V7E500BW. I guess it’s a solid choice for an SSD.
It’s an MSI Core Frozr L. Dimensions are roughly 140mm x 155mm x 84mm, and I think the fan speed ranges from somewhere between 500 and 1800 RPM. It looks like it should fit most sockets—775 through AM4 and all those Intel ones like 115x or 2011—but I guess compatibility depends on your specific setup.

Total: $5.25 ADM

Please—just pick anything else besides this particular brand of misery. I’ve had two of them die on me just months after the warranty expired.

A warranty doesn't mean much when you've lost all your data anyway... On a side note, if you happen to know, what was the typical operating temperature for those units? Usually, heat is the main culprit behind components failing prematurely... especially with IBM drives, they can be pretty sensitive to thermal issues.
