I am seriously considering pulling the trigger on building my own DL rig now. Anyone have any comment on the following build list?
This is a little cheaper, has the 2080 TI GPU, a faster hard drive, and a wireless router that supports AC as well.

Three suggestions:
- Iād recommend going with a 8 core CPU, you can grab an 8th gen i7 for similar prices.
- Air cooling CPU instead of Liquid cooling
- Considering a M.2 (small size if a 512GB one goes over budget) + HDD/SSD setup.
Reasons: The CPU will allow you to run GBM(s) faster, parallised CPU tasks will run faster. Liquid cooling is only necessary when you are required to overclock your CPU, otherwise its an overkill. M.2 drives are MUCH faster!
Hope these are useful
