[SOLVED] 2020 Gaming PC build

[Elite220]

Hi folks. I'm planning to build a new PC for 2020 gaming 1440p , after few weeks of research have found components that should be best for it, at least for my budget . This is a list of components and if you have any comments, please feel free to make suggestions.

CPU AMD Ryzen 5 3600
GPU Radeon RX 5700 XT Red Devil 8GB
SSD Samsung 970 Evo Plus M.2 250GB ( Just for Windows ) + Samsung 860 Evo SATA 1TB ( For games )
RAM Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4 3200MHz C16 ( Someone suggested to my to take 32GB 3200MHz C16 also as a future proof )
MBD Aorus X570 AORUS ELITE ( Just so I can upgrade CPU to ryzen 4000 in the future without changing motherboard )
PSU Corsair CP-9020098-UK VS Series ATX/EPS 80 PLUS

Total would be around 1160£ not including PSU.

What do you think about this build , its really pretty standard for budget build I guess . I want to have good PC for another few years.
PSU is from my old PC and hopefully will be okey for this build. If not I can change it for something better.

Thanks and stay safe folks.

This is the build I changed a bit. I removed the RGB on the RAM and left it at 16GB CAS16 3600MHz. You're fine with 16GB unless you want to makes Virtual Machines, RAM drive etc. For gaming it will be fine for a while. Changed both your samsung for cheaper drive and you won't even see the difference. The Crucial P1 and the MX500 are both good sellers. You even have 250 more GB on the Crucial P1. I took the money saved and changed your CPU to the 3700X. Better CPU for gaming and 2 more Cores. PSU is an RMX 650. You're fine for a GPU upgrade later with that and I would not use the old PSU unless it's a good one and not that old. What is it? The total price is around what you had + the PSU if you buy one and you have a better CPU and more place on your OS drive.

Personally I’d use the money saved by going to 2x8gb RAM to go with a 2070 Super. It won’t cover the full price difference but the 2070 Super can be had for £500 or less. What puts me off the 5700xt is the reports of driver issues, had to deal with AMD driver issues in the past and it was a pain when you just want to play a game and not faff about trying to fix issues.

i have normal 5700 and its buggy, lots of frame drops too, i dont reccomend it, if you can the 2070 super is definitely worth it

Personally I would downgrade to a B450 and 2x8 and use that money on a better GPU.

I heard that as well about RX 5700 XT that I might have issues with this card , my first choice was going with 2070 Super MSI but then I was told that is overpriced and 5700xt would be cheaper and almost same performance. Price of 2070 super is around 500£ for cheapest version and for 5700xt around 400£.
Also I don't have really limited budget for it , trying to have a decent pc with not paying way to much
I can wait one or two weeks , save extra 100£ and go with RTX 1070 super . I think its better idea then have a problem with 5700xt.
Then is another question , should I go for ryzen 5 3600 so far and x570 motherboard ( because next ryzen 4000 will be compatible with x570 ) and then upgrade it for ryzen 4000 . Or should I just go for ryzen 7 3700x now. Which has better stock cooler which is good . And I'm going to overclock that is important information I guess .
