Hey All,

I'm going to be in the process of building a new gaming PC.. ITs been a while since I built my last one.

I am trying to decide between the three bundles below and graphics card. Any advice on which runs better for gaming

Mother board CPU:
Intel Core i5-10400, MSI Z490 MPG Gaming Edge WiFi, CPU / Motherboard Bundle - 340
or

Intel Core i7-10700, MSI Z490 MPG Gaming Edge WiFi, CPU / Motherboard Bundle - 500
or
AMD Ryzen 7 3700X with Wraith Prism Cooler, Gigabyte X570 Aorus Master WiFi, CPU / Motherboard Bundle or something similar.

Graph:
GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Gaming X Overclocked Dual Fan 6GB GDDR6 PCIe 3.0 (VR ready)- 300
or
GeForce GTX 1660 super
NOTE: I think I would rather have a rtx 2060 but where I can save I can spend more here.


The rest of the components are standard.. 1TB m.2, 650 m power supply, 16G/32G of mem... I read a lot on the forum pages, but I still not 100% which one to go with. Seems most people are favor one or the other because personal choice.

CPU
Intel Core i7-10700K 3.8 GHz 8-Core Processor $377.77

Motherboard
MSI Z490-A PRO ATX LGA1200 Motherboard $158.99

Memory
G.Skill Trident Z RGB 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 CL18 Memory $91.99

The only thing questionable is the graphics card. What do you all think about the graphics card for gaming?
