Hi all, I'd like to buy a new gaming pc since I've got some money saved up and I want to upgrade my rig. So I've surfed around the net and I've made a build I want some feedback on, just to make sure the best choice given the budget I have at my disposal is made (and also to make sure all the parts are compatible with each other). I should tell you that I have no intention of upgrading the machine anytime soon once the purchase is made.
Approximate Purchase Date: within the next few months
Budget Range: around 1700-1900 Euros
Parts Not Required: keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, OS
Reference Website for Parts: amazon.it
Country: Italy
Overclocking: Mild (first time trying it out)
SLI or Crossfire: Very unlikely
Main use for rig: Gaming and probably some streaming
This is the setup I had in mind:
CPU: AMD Ryezn 7 3700X 285,00 Euros
Motherboard: MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX ATX 140,61 Euros
RAM: CORSAIR PC Vengeance LPX 2 x 16 GB DDR4-3200 CL16 159,04 Euros
SSD: SAMSUNG 860 EVO 1 TB M.2 177,99 Euros
HDD: WD Black 2 TB 131,00 Euros
GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 2070 Super Gaming X 572,89 Euros
Power supply: Seasonic Focus PX-550 W - 80 PLUS Platinum 110,99 Euros
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH - U14S 69,90 Euros
Total price: 1647,42 Euros
Case (already owned): COOLER MASTER Cabinet PC HAF X
I've already considered buying the AMD 3600X for CPU and downgrading the RAM to 16GB. But saving a few bucks is not an issue and I'd like to upgrade the machine as little as possible in the future so the choice of CPU and RAM was made with future in mind rather than cost efficiency.
I've also considered changing the CPU for an Intel 9700k, but apart from the increased cost, I was leaning towards trying an AMD build since I wanted to try AMD processors this time around since their resurgence of late.
Thank you for your time and I hope everything was clear enough!
