[SOLVED] 2070 sweet spot, 2080 worth it?

[raknarius]

Im looking to build a complete matx system in july/august with a ryzen 3700x. I dont plan on over clocking the cpu, memory, or gpu.

This is a gaming rig, i game at 2560x1440 60hz and dont plan to change that in the next few years. i do have a 144hz monitor but honestly i like the ips monitor that i have better.

Current games i play atm are warframe, star citizen, civilization 6 and division. i play most types from fps to rts and other game types.

Now i do have the budget to cover the 2080 but price per performance seems to show 2070 is the best value. (same for super series)

So my question is , is it the smart thing to pay for the 2080, will i notice the difference now or within the next two years at the resolution im gaming at.

Or am i better off saving that extra money for a upgraded gpu in a few years.

Thanks all for thought ideas and comments.

(planned build)
3700x ryzen 8 core 65w non overclocked
b450m steel legend matx motherboard
corsair 32 gb 2x16 ddr4 3200
1tb nvme ssd
650 gold modular psu (seasonic focus)
2070 super or 5700xt
Matx case to be determined, possibly antec cube max (not yet released)

I'd say get the 2070(it'll be enough for the 1440p 60hz monitor)and save the rest. In terms of overall value, the 2070 and 2080 are pretty bad, with the former almost being matched by the 2060(it comes within 10% of the 2070s performance at times), and the latter being on par with the 1080ti while costing more(comparing launch prices).
I see you only have the one storage drive. The leftover cash can go towards another ssd later down the road.
