[SOLVED] Preparing my build for the Rtx3070

[DucTon2911]

Hi guys,
So i was planing a PC this summer, i posted already one thread about that system but in the end, and luckily, i did not buy it. Anw, a hug for any members who bought the rtx2000 series this year, i can feel the pain.

As the introduction of the 3000 series, my main target for the GPU is the 3070, may be the Eagle series. Here is the rest of my planing system for it, and I would love to hear some recommendations or advice for better parts. My budget is around 1900euros (including Monitor, mouse and keyboard)

Mainboard: msi x570 tomahawk wifi
Chip: ryzen 5 3600
Psu: corsair rm650x 80 plus gold
Case: lian li 2 mesh
Ram: gskill 3200 8gbx2
Liquid cooler: corsair hydro 100x
Ssd: samsung 970evo plus 500gb
Hdd: seagate barracuda 2tb
Combo Logitech Mk470 slim
Monitor: LG 27 Gl650 F-B 1920 x 1080 144hz

My main concerns are that whether the 3600 will bottleneck the 3070 or not, and the psu is going to be enough ? Besides that, the thermal is another concern but I'm quite confident in the airflow of the Lian li Mesh. My goal is to enjoy ultra setting at 1080p with very high refreshing rate 😅, and maybe some 4k gaming since my 4k TV is Gsync compatible

PSU will be fine its decent, and the ryzen 3600 is only a tad slower then the i5 9600k so it will pair well with the 3070, especially if you can O/C it a bit

Yeah, that's why I replace the bundle cooler with the hydro 100x, so with the autoboost from AMD then hopefully the 3600 will be stable and strong enough. I was very tempted by the 3700x but in the end I will not make 100% use of that cpu

Yes please try the 3600 before spending more money as it is a nice CPU even without an overclock, its only 9% slower then a i5 9600k and that would keep up with a 3070 for sure

Not to worry about your concerns.
The lian li mesh looks to be a very good case, and lian li quality is superb.

I see no sense in an expensive aio cooler when the stock ryzen cooler should do the job.
If you want more, a noctua NH-U12s at half the price will do the job.
Plus, you get quieter operation, easier install, better reliability, and...
Air will not leak.

Ryzen needs fast ram for performance, look at 3600 speed.

The evo plus is as good as it gets for a ssd.
I would consider upping that to a 1tb ssd and omitting the HDD.
You can always add a hdd later if it turns out you want more storage.

Many here love ryzen for the many cheap threads.
What you see is what you get with ryzen; they hardly overclock at all.
4.4 is about as good as you are going to do.
Single thread speeds are most important to sims, strategy and mmo type games.
Not so much for fast action gaming where the 3070 should shine.

As an intel alternative, look at the i5-10600K it will oc near 5.0
Intel does not need fast ram.

Thank you for your recommendations , i think I'm gonna change to Nh U12s chromax black, what a beauty 😍😍
I'm also looking for a good deal for a 3600 16gb ram kit, let's see if im lucky. Anw, we still have like 6 more weeks to see the real deal so I'm trying to keep calm and wait 🤣😅
