It's fine, it's just this happens all the time when I come on this site. Most of the responses end up being something like "No your build is garbage you're wasting your money move out of the way here's a better build. You also forgot this and that" and it gets all bogged down by pointless arguments over nitpicky small details. 2060 sounds like a great card, I'll stick with that and adjust my build from the suggestions here.

and what would you pick that isn't going to substantially change the build? I don't want to get into an argument over just looking for a graphics card. They'll be using an LCD monitor, high refresh rate, 1080p. Can we stop being antagonistic? I'm just looking for a part. Please

Why would I have these parts for them? We're in talks about getting them the parts, I'm just mulling over price ranges and a graphics card.

1080p then. I really don't think resolution is the problem here unless we were trying to hit 4k res.

1080p - 2k. I don't think anyone I know really cares about massive upgrades to 4k. It still seems a little needless right now.

Probably not lol I have one because I wanted a radiator that would fill up my entire top-side case, but it's admittedly a little overkill. I'll adjust the build for them so they don't have to spend so much.

We live in the USA. My friend is looking to upgrade their computer, they actually want to build one this time. I sent them a list based on what I own and use, but I use a different graphics card(a GTX 1070, which works for me right now). I'm mostly just looking for confirmation about what to get, I have an idea but a second opinion is always nice. The upgrade came from a desire for his boyfriend to have his own computer. They both play FFXIV, but one plays on the PS4 while the other plays on PC. They both raid, one more heavily than the other, so it'd be nice for both of them to have a computer. Likely they'll have to buy separate keyboards and mice and another monitor, but let's keep them with a new build that they can work off of. One of them can plug their PC into the television set while they save up for another monitor. My friend is also playing Gears 5 with me, we both play several multiplayer games together, Gears 5 is probably the most taxing and I'd love for him to be able to play 60FPS +/- minimum on High to Ultra. I was wondering what would go well with this build, graphics card wise. Thank you!

Awesome, thanks for the help! ?

It's a modular 850w gold from corsair. Wow that ram isn't half bad, though likely I'll need something low profile unless my all in one cpu cooler doesn't interfere with the ram slots.

Aaah, I see. I shall take that into consoderation. Okay, so considering I bought decent DDR4 8/16 GB cards then. I'm looking at the prices right now so I can adjust my tired thought process.

Ah, no I have DDR3 16 GB. Would I have to upgrade those regardless which I get or is that only dependant on Ryzen 7?

Basically the gist of my story is that my computer poofed and I replaced the c2032 battery and psu with no changes, but since it's either the cpu or motherboard at this point, I thought I might as well just upgrade to Ryzen. My current gpu is an MSI GTX 1070 8G. I was wondering if anyone could recommend which Ryzen I should shoot for, and what motherboards would go well with it. My budget is $500 max. I don't want to spend a penny more, barring sales tax. Any and all suggestions are appreciated. I'd love to get my baby back up and running. ?

Alright guys, thanks for all the help/info. I'll pull something together. My boss asked for about 3 ideas anyways, so I'll give him the pros and cons and my own input and see what he comes up with. Cheers!

30-60. I'd settle for 45. I mean, what? No, boss, I swear companies need 45 fps, otherwise the card reader won't work. What do you mean that doesn't make any sense? Just trust me, boss....

I mean as in what I stated in the title. A PC for a hotel business. We check in guests and check them out, do a bunch of accounting, documenting, organizing, etc. Sometimes an employee may want to watch a yootoob video whilst the lobby is empty.
