[SOLVED] Im 98% there, 1 last step

[Clinton_4]

I have a ryzen 3600
750 watt supply
B450 f mobo
3200 ram
Hyper 212 cup cooler
Next h510 case
Samsung 860 evo ssd
×3 extra fans for case and cooling

I'm soooooooo stumped on which gpu to do
5700xt is the best value prop, but I also haven't gotten all top tier parts, so I dont wanna overkill/ bottleneck the dang thing with my 3600~ with so many choices I'm flummoxed~ is 2070 super going to be held back? I dont wanna cheap out, but I dont want to over spec... advice?

So, in my opinion, and that's all it is is MY opinion, I'd stick with whatever the best Nvidia option is that you can afford. Yes, AMD is cheaper for what should be somewhat better performance in some cases, but to me it is not worth the amount of troubles that have been seen because of the poor driver support both last year with the RX 580 cards that were dying out in batches and this year, with a slew of issues.

There is no way that a Ryzen 3600 is going to be the limiting factor for 99% of titles, with an RTX 2070. And for the 1% where it IS, even a higher end CPU probably wouldn't make a lot of difference because the problem is likely due to bad code more than anything else. You should be totally fine with a 3600 and an RTX 2070. There are people using that graphics card with very old Ivy bridge and Haswell i5 and i7's, so a 3rd Gen Ryzen should have no issues at all.

Bro, you laid it out so perfectly. Thank you. I think I needed that. I've legit put way too much thought into it😋. Tinkering is fun, and it is why we are here~ it's the journey, not the destination always that is so much fun with these new builds. Thank you.

Anytime man. My pleasure.

You are right, and that is why we do what we do.
