1&2 have the same price, while the 3rd choice is $100 pricier. The VGA is Zotac, is it good or should I go for well known brand such as MSI/ASUS?
Thanks,

Yes I can make sure they update the BIOS first, they're pretty reputable here. Is it fine if I choose the Steel Legend instead?
In that case, yes.

I'm only planning to get a 1080p 144Hz monitor, I don't think I'm looking for a 1440p capable pc GPU.
I'm just telling you what the RX 5700 is capable of. RTX 2060 can do it too, but the 5700 is the stronger card.

What is resolution scaling?
Display feature. Can be adjusted in Windows, Nvidia Control Panel, or Radeon Settings. You can 'upscale' from your monitor's native resolution. It has its uses.
You can find it in Windows Settings > System > Display > Scale and Layout.

And isn't the RTX 2060 capable of staying at 60 fps using rtx on games like Battlefield...

Which Battlefield? Here's a vid of RTX On 2060 in BF V:

I would think in an fps shooter, the more fps you can get, the better...

Wait so I can play in 1440P on a 1080p monitor by upscaling? Also it was COD:MW that has good fps on max + rtx graphics, not BF5, my bad.

. I guess I should go for RTX 2060 Super if I want to use RTX?

Yeah. As for the difference between upscaling and actually using the physically higher resolution monitor, I've no idea - you'd have to ask someone versed in monitor technology.

Also it was COD:MW that has good fps on max + rtx graphics, not BF5, my bad.
Ah, no big deal.

I suppose the drivers are just well optimized for COD: MW.
BF V is fine up until medium settings. At high and above, 60fps isn't doable.

I guess I should go for RTX 2060 Super if I want to use RTX?
Nah, you can use the 2060. Some games(that support the feature) are just going to run more smoothly than others due to the game engine and drivers.
2 games is too small a sample size to base overall performance on, yeah?

Yep, but MW is one of the reason I want to get a new PC. Also, the 2060 only has 6GB of Vram while the 2060S has 8GB. Will it has huge impact on future games?

Not unless you move to 1440p or 4K.
Okay thanks bro. I am thinking to get an RX 5700XT because somehow it is as fast as an RTX 2070 super but the price is around $100-$50 cheaper in my country, the same price as an RTX 2060 Super.
https://www.enterkomputer.com/search/data?q=rx+5700+xt
Can you help me find which one is the most worthy? There are choices from 6.3 million - 7.8 million rupiah, which is around a $120 difference. An RTX 2060 Super has the exact same price range. Both of these cards seems good, what do you think?

Just get the cheaper one, or the most aesthetically pleasing to you - they are just that similar.

Alright, thank you. By the way here are the list of pc cases I find to be the best looking, can you help me pick one?
Cube Gaming Zerv
Antec NX400
Deepcool Earlkase RGB
Digital Alliance Polaris
MSI Mag Vampiric
Phanteks Eclipse P350X
Prime [R-V]
Prime [C-X]
Also, one more question. Since the GPU already has 3 fans, how many more fans do I need for optimum performance? Right now my plan is to get Prime Butterfly 3x RGB fan @450K rupiah, but the fan itself doesn't look good imo. I might pick other fans from different brands that are priced around 200K each, so I'll probably get two fans. Which one should I pick, 3 fans or 2 fans?

The others make me - for lack of a better word at the moment - want to 'punch a baby'.

...how many more fans do I need for optimum performance?
It really depends.
The general 'front to back, bottom to top' airflow setup works in most cases. But the optimal setup isn't always cut and dry.
Only through testing can you find what's best.

As I mentioned before, the gpu's temps are impacted the hardest from those closed off front panels; your options will be restricted in such a case.
More power hungry cards will literally thermal throttle themselves either because their extra heat isn't getting out of the case fast enough, or they can't intake enough air.
 
Haven't read everything here, but I do like the idea of the ryzen 3600. The 2060 should serve you well. For a case, not familiar with all the ones listed. Have you looked at the cooler master mb511? The non rgb version I think is around the 60 dollar range in the US, but gives you a clear side panel, and the front panel is mesh and allows 3 fans. Plus you can put 2 more on top and one in back. And it has a decent amount of space imo.

Hahaha, the other cases must be REALLY bad. Thank you for all your help from the beginning, you've answered all of my questions perfectly, I can't ask for a better one. I'll tell you when I get my new PC. Cheers bro.

I don't really find that case to be aesthetically pleasing, but thanks for the suggestion! I just found out that AMD is way cheaper, so I'm getting the RX 5700XT which has the same price as a RTX 2060S
 
Good deal. I'm very fond of my case. In my build, I installed 3 led fans in the front. 2 red and one white. As well as a red and white one on top, and another in back. Plus I'm using the amd wraith prism that has rgb as well. So with all of those, it really sets the case off and plus gives light to see all the components through the side window.

But everyone has different preferences:). As far as graphics, either one of those should be great. I would recommend staying with their latest stable drivers though. I think a couple of folks reported issues with their latest optional drivers.

Awesome. Mind taking a picture of your PC? I'm curious how the final product looks :D
