What kind of benchmarks would you expect with a set up like this?

Also, I’d like to ask. Why AMD? Besides price. What advantages are there over Intel? Yes, you can laugh at me lol. I’ll be THAT guy.

The build isn’t super urgent. Not for me anyways. The Wife curses our current setup everyday. Ideally, I’d like to be running before the Spring.

I do have a Razer Huntsman Elite, and a Rival 600 mouse. Have a cheap monitor at the moment. Was looking at the 25” Alienware.

Looking to build my first PC. My Wife’s makeup stream is starting to blossom and I’m looking for better than average gameplay. Just hoping to build something we can both benefit from. My budget is fairly flexible at the time. But I really don’t want to spend more than $2,000. I feel like every time I start a partslist it gets out of hand. Lol I have this as of now. With an NZXT 700i case. Any recommendations or opinions are appreciated. I wouldn’t care to step down to a i5-8400 and a 1070ti, if I wouldn’t lose too much. I’d ideally like a system I don’t have to upgrade in the near future. MSI GeForce RTX™ 2070 ARMOR 8G (1) Intel Core i7-8700K 6-Core 3.7 GHz MSI MPG Z390 GAMING EDGE AC G.
