Question Need to buy a new PC in June, hints please?

[zehkinha]

Hi everyone,

I'm going to USA next week, and because the prices is way cheaper than in my country, like half price, I'm willing to buy there.
Since AMD is launching the new Ryzen 3000 in July, I'm not sure what I'm going to lose too much by buying right now. I mean, they have better specs, TDP, etc, but will it be a HUGE difference in performance to a 2700x? Like if I'm take, let's say, 30 minutes rendering some video, it will drop to 15 minutes in the new Ryzen 3700x?
The PC will be mostly to work apps (office, dev, virtual machines), video rendering and some game (no need to ultra high configs, just want to run the most recent games in some acceptable condition).
So the specs is below. I believe that B450 MoBos will support the new Ryzen 3000 if I wish to upgrade anytime soon.

AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Processor with Wraith Prism LED Cooler - YD270XBGAFBOX $279.95
GIGABYTE B450 AORUS M (AMD Ryzen AM4/M.2 Thermal Guard/HDMI/DVI/USB 3.1 Gen 2/DDR4/Micro ATX/Motherboard) $73.99
2x Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3000MHz C15 Desktop Memory Kit - Black (CMK16GX4M2B3000C15) 2* $79.99
Sapphire Radeon Nitro+ RX 590 8GB GDDR5 Dual HDMI/ DVI-D/ Dual DP OC w/ Backplate Special Edition (UEFI) PCI-E Graphic Cards 11289-01-20G $215.99
Samsung 970 EVO Plus Series - 500GB PCIe NVMe - M.2 Internal SSD (MZ-V7S500B/AM) $125.40
SanDisk SSD PLUS 1TB Internal SSD - SATA III 6 Gb/s, 2.5"/7mm - SDSSDA-1T00-G26 $107.99
CORSAIR Hydro Series H60 AIO Liquid CPU Cooler, 120mm Radiator, 120mm SP Series PWM Fan $65.91

Any hint?
thanks.

The gains are likely to be worthwhile waiting, if you can - but if that'll mean buying at significantly above MSRP in your home country then a 2700X would be a great purchase.

Some B450 boards will, other vendors are restricting what can be installed into the older boards (or at least, that's the rumour). The power requirements are just not going to be handled well on older boards.

As for value for money.... the 590 is a pretty poor "value" IMO. It's essentially an overclocked 580, for ~$210 or more. An 8GB 580 can be had for closer to $160-$170.

The H60 is a waste of money at $66.
If you want to go the AIO route, I'd look to a minimum of a 240mm Rad.
Looking at pricing/availability.... the Deepcool Captain 240EX is the cheapest that I'd consider viable.... At $78.

Remember to check what your import allowances are before playing duties etc (if applicable). Otherwise, you could end up paying the taxes/duties on them anyway, negating buying them elsewhere.

Thanks.
I'm choosing 590 only because it has 2 HDMI outputs. Damn, I was looking only the XFX model, but there are others with 2xHDMI. Thanks.
For the watercooler this Deepcool seems to be a better option. I was looking for a mAtx case and they are mostly compatible with 120mm radiator, not 240mm, but I guess I'll change to a mid tower and get the 240mm.

I would wait if I can. In my case it's now or next year. Not sure if I want to wait this long. Only if it was a huge leap.

I would not buy a card just because of a pair of HDMI outputs...there are Dispay Port to HDMI cables for $8-$12 on Amazon all day long...
