[SOLVED] Gaming PC build

[KseMpArKoS]

Hello everyone !

Im interesting to build a gaming pc and i really want your opininons/suggestions !
Already bought rtx 2070 and im trying to figure out with motherboard , cpu , tower , ram 😀

So far picked those parts : http://
Im only missing a motherboard but i have no idea what to pick (the only thing i know is that i prefer asus 😛 )

Any suggestions would be appreciated !
Not planning to overclock and tbh i dont know how to do that 😀

Thank you very much in advance for your time
(Sorry for my English also 😛 hehe )

Yeah i really needed a graphic card , i have gtx 770 now (so you can imagine 😛 ) and yes im from Greece! I didnt set a budget but around 800-1000 euros? i suppose ! im building a pc once every 5-7 years 😀

I dont know what the prices are in Greece, but I dont think you need to spend that much for a new platform and a case.

Right now I would pass on Intel and go with a Ryzen CPU. They are within 10% of performance and much cheaper. You dont need a fancy AIO cooler if you are not gonna overclock. The 2600x comes with a good stock cooler and it will pair nicely with your system.

The case is really up to what you like, but the NZXT H500i is a nice mid tower case.

The 9700k gets 10% better fps than the 2600 but cost more than twice as much and does not come with a CPU cooler. So if you have a budget in mind, you can get a lot more bang for your buck with an AMD CPU. Use the money you save on a better GPU as that will have the biggest impact on gaming performance.

In the past Intel CPUs were your only option for high end gaming. But not any more, AMD's Ryzen CPUs are very good.
