Hi!
I build a pc like 15 years ago where my gpu was NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT (time flies) and after a few years using OSX I'm finally building a desktop machine and I really need your help.
Use:
Type|Item|Price
CPU | AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor | €289.00 @ Alternate
Motherboard | MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX ATX AM4 Motherboard | €121.80 @ Alza
Memory | G.Skill Ripjaws V 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 Memory | €190.29 @ Mindfactory
Storage | ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive | €161.80 @ Alza
Video Card | EVGA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER 6 GB SC ULTRA GAMING Video Card | €275.99 @ Alternate
Case | Fractal Design Focus G ATX Mid Tower Case | €56.98 @ Alternate
Power Supply | SeaSonic FOCUS 550 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply | €89.98 @ ARLT

OLD BUILD
CPU:
1st option - AMD Ryzen 7 2700X 8x 3.70GHz So.AM4 BOX - 178,90€
2st option - AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8x 3.60GHz So.AM4 BOX - 289€
I would save 110 € going with the first and older option. The second option gives about 15% more speed.
CPU Cooler:
The Ryzen 7 series already brings a decent cooler, not need to upgrade if I’m not overclocking right?
RAM:
32GB Corsair Vengeance LPX black DDR4-3200 DIMM CL16 Dual Kit - 161.85€
I could add another 32GB module later, if I have a board with 4 slots?
Storage:
1000GB Crucial MX500 M.2 2280 SATA 6Gb/s 3D-NAND TLC (CT1000MX500SSD4) - 126.38€
GPU:
1st option - 6GB ASRock Radeon RX 5600 XT Challenger D 6G OC Aktiv PCIe 4.0 x16 - 279.80€
chipset- AMD RX 5600-XT (AVG. Bench 84.9%)
2nd option - 8GB MSI RX 5700 EVOKE GP OC GDDR6, HDMI/ 3xDP - 308.90€
chipset- AMD RX 5700 (AVG. Bench 88.2%)
3rd option - Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX Vega 56 8GB HBM2 - 309,90€
chipset – AMD RX Vega 56 (AVG. Bench 85.5%)
4th option - MSI Radeon RX Vega 64 Air Boost OC 8G - 329,90€
chipset – AMD RX Vega 64 (AVG. Bench 96.6%)
5th option - 8GB KFA2 GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER [1-Click OC] Aktiv PCIe 3.0 x16 (Bulk) - 419.00€
chiptset - RTX 2060S (Super) (AVG. Bench 98.8%)
Motherboard:
I have no idea what to get. Atx or Micro atx? I don’t think I need atx but If I want to upgrade another gpu in the future I need one right?
My thought process would be to get a good motherboard and then after some years I could replace the CPU / add RAM or a better GPU. Am I looking at this through the right angle?
I looked here but too much info
Case:
Anything budget sturdy and with good airflow. I don’t care about RGB or looks. Off course it will depended on the motherboard.
Power supply:
Anything reliable that will accommodate my needs.
Budget: my target is 1000€, but I can go a bit higher.
If I chose 1st option on all of them: 746,93€ missing motherboard, case and power supply
Could you make your suggestion between options or entirely new ones? I will make an excel sheet when I have more suggestions.
Thanks in advance
