[SOLVED] Looking for a $1000-1200 PC build w/ the upcoming 3070

[niitan]

I'm planning on building my very first PC with the RTX 3070, and I have a budget of 1k-1.2k (price not including the 3070) and would like some build suggestions. This build will be mainly for gaming/browsing, no streaming/etc

You can even go with the 10600K, but the 10700K should give you more longevity.

I’d hold out for the 3070 reviews. While I don’t expect pcie 4.0 to make a difference I think it should be proven with benchmarks before making a decision on which platform to pick.

Fair point, while I too don't expect it would make much difference either. Lets see.
