[SOLVED] New to PC Gaming. Build Advice, best value for money?

[PRaucus]

Hello, i am currently in the market for a new gaming pc that I would like to build. I am fairly new in the department and have a budget of around $1000-$1200, but I would like to get value for money. Wether it is your own build or not, let me know the best parts I can put together while falling in my budget range.
p.s. I plan on playing EFT, Apex, Valorant, GTA, etc.

the 1200 budget is that just the computer, or do you need a monitor and keyboard and stuff?

I already have a 144hz monitor and a mouse, so a keybord would be the only thing to add on to that

i didnt think 3700x was affordable for this build (including rtx gpu)
Also do you think its worth going from 2070 super 8gb to 2060 6gb??
I think gpu performance is more important than the cpu,also i dont think he need 8cores 16 threads if he is just going to game.
Edit: Im sorry i didnt think that would go to a blank list,im gonna fix that now

Best value I can come up with.

A better GPU like a 2070 super will perform slightly better but the cost is enough that it ends up being a worse value.

Really don't need more than a Ryzen 5 3600. I chose the x since it has a nicer cooler and performs better.

Forget the Samsung 970. Too high priced for the capacity and the difference between NVMe and SATA SSD for OS booting and game loading is a joke. like 2 seconds difference.

Im assuming he needs a case.

Also, $10 more than the cx750m is a seasonic focus 750w gold, which is better.

Also a crucial p1 1tb is $5 more than a mx500. Id go crucial p1

Seasonic is 35 more dollars. I agree with the crucial.

 

[R_1]

144hz monitor at what resolution? not knowing the resolution we are only guessing as to what GPU power is needed.

Seasonic is 35 more dollars. I agree with the crucial.

Thank you guys for all the replies, I took some advice from almost all of you and this is what I came up with in the end. A bit over my budget but from what I've heard it should last me a long time at least. Let me know what you guys think or if I should change/improve anything

Power Supply: SeaSonic FOCUS Gold 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply
Keyboard: Corsair K68 Wired Gaming Keyboard

@R_1, I was conflicted between the 3700X or the 3600X, decided on the 3600X simply for budget. I will also be running at 1080p and not 1440p so hopefully the build should be more than enough to support my current needs.

Before I make any rash decisions though, what is a better option: 3700X and a RTX2060 or 3600X and RTX2070?

3600X and RTX 2070

For gaming, 3600x and 2070 super.

The faster 3600mhz ram i included may improve performance and is cheaper
