MY QUESTION(S):
What do you think of system? I want to future proof so that is the reason for the X570 board and the case that really appeals to me.
Should I opt for the Ryzen 5 3600 (which is about $65 more than 3400) OR should I get the R7 2700x (which is only $25 more) ? In either case it would mean adding a video card. I didn't want to spend a lot on the video card at this time and perhaps I can buy a very basic one for less than $100. However, I don't want buyers remorse thinking I should have gone for the higher end and to just bite the bullet with the Zotac Geoforce Super 1660 (AMP)? Or can you see how it could be staggered?
I cannot find a monitor to pair with this. The one listed is sold by a company that may have difficulty fulfilling the order.
I would like a 27" IPS and was hoping for 144 Hz...….open to your thoughts?.
Your timely responses would be appreciated.
thank you.
