Taking any and all suggestions, I’m trying to go as cheap as possible with great performance.

the SSD could use a swap IMHO. despite the form factor that is a SATA drive and you can get another SATA SSD for the same price at twice the capacity this for example. ( I have one of these full disclosure)

I will be updating with other suggestions to lower the price.

for your consideration

I think RX 5700 XT is RTX2070 equivalent in performance.

Its pretty same as 2070 Super, but cheaper...

Also, the NVME is faster...

Userbenchmark is a trash site. Yes the HP is probably a bit faster, but only has a 3yr warranty. The 660p has 5yr warranty. Also, for a gaming rig, faster than SATA speeds, for SSD, are not really taken advantage of, by games anyway. The 5700xt is faster than a non super 2070. Some are having issues with B450 boards, and 3rd gen ryzen. A low end x570 should be much more trouble free, here. I also added a better cooler. The wraith stealth isn't horrible, but the Gammaxx 400 is far better, and should be far quieter. Should allow for better, and longer boost clocks.

Userbenchmark is not accurate but its a pretty close indication of the differences.
HP is a pretty reliable brand and with SSD endurance levels, warranty should be a secondary concern to speed. SSD drives these days hardly fail on you...

every time I refer to userbenchmarks I follow with this
"results not cement, your results will vary, for the gist/general idea only"

 

[logainofhades]

A gaming rig is likely never going to come close to hitting the endurance limit, of a 660p. My 480gb sandisk ultra II was nearly 3yrs old, when I swapped it out, and was still well over 90% on its endurance life, per Sandisk's own software. Games don't make use of NVME speeds. The 660p is just so inexpensive, that it makes getting a slower SATA drive a bad idea.

Similarly its not going to hit the endurance limit of EX920. You are making the same point.
