I need help choosing parts!

MichaelHawkins

Hello, recently I took advantage of the micro center sale and bought myself two different CPUs: One for myself and one for my brother. The one I bought for myself is a 9th generation Intel i9-9900K and the one I bought for him is the 9th generation i7-9700K. Both were on sale, so I bought them so that we could both start building rigs. He has a budget of $700 (including the $199 I paid for the processor). My brother does currently have an Invidia GE Force GTX 950 GPU in his current computer. I was hoping that would be decent enough to be able to still be used in his new build. He is looking for 16GB of ram and at least a 1TB SSD. Can you help me find good parts for him and stay within that budget? Thanks!

As for my build, I have a budget of $1500 and I am looking for 32GB of ram, one 500GB SSD as well as an additional 2TB SSD. I have no idea what GPU I should get or anything else that would work well with the i9-9900K. Please help. I paid $299 for the processor so that obviously came out of my $1500 budget.
