Question Ryzen 5 2600x RTX 2070 Build

[Luminantgaming]

I've recently bought a 144hz 1440p monitor from a friend as he no longer needs it and now im looking to upgrade my system to be able to run games like Apex, Battlefield, Black ops 4 and World of Warcraft at 1440p ive put together a system that i think is good but im looking for any feedback/help on creating a good system.

Ive already got a Case,SSD/HDD

Specs the price is in AUD

Ryzen 5 2600x $310
Msi Geforce RTX 2070 8Gb $750
Asus Rog Strix B450-F $210
Corsair 2400MHZ 16Gb $150
Thermaltake 550w bronze $70 I might get a 600W or 650W to be safe

My advice, you can get a Ryzen 7 with 8 cores for less and it's better future proof.
Also that mobo is overpriced, this one is more than capable of handling the CPU and overclock, plus 3000Mhz memory in Ryzen is a must.
That thermaltake is pretty weak...

That's a pretty good build. I got the X470 version of that motherboard. It's awesome.

I would recommend some faster RAM, maybe this one:

Faster RAM worked better with first-gen Ryzen, not sure about 2nd-gen.. I thought it was better to be safe than sorry..

I'd say that the 2600X is more future-proof than the 1700X, personally. Much better optimisation, and 12 threads should be enough for a long time.. plus you get a decent stock cooler.
