get a 400 series board.
what ram?

I agree, get a B450 mobo.
I think the PSU could be better.

Country?
Budget?

 

[punkncat]

Agree with the above about mobo choice. Def do a B450 or better.

As to the above comment about the PSU.....what is supposedly wrong with Antec, or that specific model?
I have had extraordinary good use of several of their products.

The fact that it's a 700W (not the more modern 650W/750W) and only 80+ (not even bronze) tells me this is either an old or lower quality Antec unit. Most likely the OP can buy a better quality PSU for the same price.
650W would be plenty for that rig.

thats right, if you are buying something new, consider buying something in the range of 550w-650w of a good brand like seasonic.

8GB DDR4 2666Mhz High Performance Gaming RAM - Inclu

8GB is not enough I think. Now games and software are taking up more and more memory.

 

[sizzling]

You really want to aim for 2x8gb 3000mhz.

Thanks. Will have a look around

the company I'm getting it from doesn't keeps seasonic. Not sure if we get it here in South Africa either

That's a good one, yes. Go with that.

 

[ryzengamer]

That's a good one, yes. Go with that.

I did burn a 520W PSU with RX 570, TDP is 120W. RTX 2060 TDP is 160W. Go for 700W.

 

[Genk]

And in terms cooling should I be worried.
I burnt 2 laptops, not sure how the desktop works?

 

[tennis2]

I have an i5-3570K OC'd to 4.2GHz, RX480 @ 1305MHz, 1 SSD, 1HDD, 4 fans.
Power draw from the wall measured with Kill-a-Watt = 270W while running both Prime95 and FurMark concurrently. Accounting for my PSUs 90% efficiency, that's 250W on the PSU.
