I would recommend investing in a good power supply like to seasonic focus series

As for 144 hz I am not sure if that graphics card and hardware combo will be able to give you that performance you’re looking for but other graphics card experts will probably chime in

I kind of agree too. If I’m not mistaken I just saw some Benching on some of Linus’ videos and even the 2700x with a 1080ti? I think was getting his wanted FPS. I feel with out getting some very high end cards, that 140 fps is quite high for your average pc

umm RTX 2060 is faster in most cases vs the Vega 56 plus it does eat less power. if you can get one id suggest going for the RTX 2060 tbh.

The difference between them is so small and when you look at the price its a 30$ buff I know it isnt much but to get the same price ypu will need to downgrade to a ryzen 5 1600

Seasonic Focus+ 550W = $50 after MIR.

Are you aware that AMD Navi GPUs are only a couple months away? I root for AMD all the way, but the Vega56/64 isn't a good choice right now against Nvidias offerings.

$90 for the SSD you chose (SU655) is a bad price. You can get MUCH better ones for less. I've seen the 500GB M.2 NVMe HP EX950 or XPG SX8200 Pro for that price recently.

well its faster out of the box tho and is easier to manage than a vega 56, dont get me wrong i love the vega 56 its an awesome overclocking card as well but for your situation id suggest with something you can get the best out of the box since im pretty sure you arent experienced with overclocking or undervolting. Vega 56 really shines after tweaking.

but id suggest saving up abit, get a better powersupply and maybe a RTX 2060 if not a decent PSU with the vega 56 would do you good. but if you are in the US maybe you can get some CPU + mobo combos for less or some mail in rebates on certain parts. try to look around

Well, your maximum frame rate is determined by the CPU, where the maximum quality settings at that desired frame rate you can play at are determined by the graphics card. So if the OP wants 144 FPS, the best bet would to make sure the CPU is powerful, and the 2700X lives up to those expectations. As far as I am concerned, the Vega 56 is the same as the RTX 2060, albeit with less features and more power consumption. I think the OP should consider the 2060 if it is around the same price.

It's not the wattage you should be looking at, it's the quality of the unit.
I have a 650W quality unit running a highly overclocked Ryzen 7 1700 and a Radeon VII.
A cheap unit will not last under a heavy load and will eventually die and possibly kill your system with it, a high quality unit will work and last even under peak loads for long periods without degrading or failing.
A CX550 is the lowest i'd go for your system:

Well with a bit of overclocking the 2600 can get as fast as a 2600x paired with an rtx 2060 or vega 56 it definetley can output 144fps atleast on medium settings

Imagine you are 30 years old and need heart surgery. On the way into the OR, doctor says you have 2 options, the heart of a 60year old smoker for $100,000 or the heart of an 18year old non-smoking athlete for $150,000.

It's that simple. The choice of psu should never be governed by budget, only by necessity and availability. A good quality 550w is exponentially better than a mediocre quality 650w if all you require is 450-500w, like a rtx2060 system.

Go cheap and unreliable if you want to, but don't blame anyone but yourself when it blows up in your face a year from now and quits because you bought a cheap psu that was not designed for the job. High draw gaming gpus put massive, instant stress on a psu, and quality gaming psus are built for the job. Cheaper OEM replacement psus are most definitely not.

But ypu did downgrade the rtx 2060/vega 56 gpu to a 1660ti is that any better for gaming because the 2600 wont bottleneck so it could work good with rtx/vega but the performance downgrade from rtx/vega to gtx 1660ti is quite big
