Budget (including currency): $400 ish US dollars for cpu, (not really a hard limit just want to keep the cpu pretty balanced to the rest of the system I'm planning) $3000 ish for total
Country: United States
Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Loads of VR (valve index 144 hz), some csgo but it's kind of a joke, also trying to get into game development. (especially vr) Mostly trying to build a system that I can grow into over time as vr gets more demanding.
Other details: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WZrkQq, haven't bought GPU, CPU, or Storage yet, Waiting on rtx 3000 (have a loaner 1070 which will do in the meantime) and am probably just going to bring over the storage already in my gaming laptop which I am replacing.
So here's the deal, I want to build a new gaming pc to replace my 2070 Max q powered Aero 15 which is starting to randomly turn off during intense vr workloads. This isn't the only issue with it, I've never really been pleased with its thermals, it has just not quite enough I/O, (very single port on it is full most of the time while using hubs and splitters) and really want to get into the desktop side so I have more control over my upgrade path and don't have to rebuy a whole new machine every time I want to upgrade in the future, but the shutdowns are the nail in the coffin for a device that was always only 90% acceptable. I am pretty confident about my parts list as a whole, been an avid fan of the channel for over 5 years and have put many parts lists and PCs together before, just never for myself. The thing I would like mostly like to get feedback on is whether I should be waiting for the Ryzen 4000 series (mostly eyeing a 4800x range processor) to come out at the end of 2020, (which requires me to buy a burner cpu, most likely the 3600 since I can't find a good price on the 3300x) or just hop on the 3800xt bandwagon when it is available for purchase on Tuesday. I would appreciate the help of people who follow the used markets and are familiar with how much things usually drop when parts come out because I am trying to maximize my final performance while minimizing the amount I lose by having to flip a cpu, vs just buying the 3800xt now and maybe losing out on performance gains I could have had if I had waited.
Many Thanks
