Question New gaming build

[KentState]

Looking for recommendations on the best performing CPU and MB now or in the next month for gaming. This would be paired with a 2080Ti and the appropriate RAM, NVMe storage and cooled by a custom loop. Seems like the HEDT Intel chips my still be the best with the 10980XE maybe leading the way, but I haven't seen much on it.

Can't the pumps just de-air the loop if you take the cap off the res during operation?

There are a couple places where the air sits in a corner so I have to do some tilting of the case.

Most unfortunate. What pump(s) are you using?
