I'll go with your advice. I'll also get 5700 xt cause I'll be playing on 1080p. I'm just gonna tweak a few things, I don't mind spending a few bucks more. I'll go with fractal meshify C. Since silence running is important to me, can you recommend me a good 600 / 650 W PSU? And another thing, is there a reason to have a HDD nowadays? I was thinking of going only with SSDs, does it make sense to have 2 or just one with multiple partitions? Any particular ones that are really good? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for taking the time! Wow, I'm not sure now. You kinda blew my expectations. I was determined on getting either i7 or r7 . Now I basically have to decide is it worth spending another 500€ for 1440p. I would also have to get a different monitor which would probably shoot through my budget limit. In case I want to go for 2080 super, how many FPS can I expect on 144hz 1440p? How "future proof" will it be? Would you change any other parts or just the gfx card? On the other hand if I stay with 5700 xt, is it maybe worth getting better motherboard (for OCing) or more PSU in case I want to upgrade my system?

Thanks for your replies. I posted the price of the 3700x and wrote 3800x. My bad. I live in Germany. Both 3700X and 9700k cost about the same if you ignore the aftermarket cooler (I'm getting one anyway). Can you also recommend me other parts?

Hi everyone, 1. Budget & Location Budget: 1500€ only for the case. I'm willing to go a bit more if really needed. Location: EU 2. Aim Mostly gaming. 3. Monitors I was planning on getting one of those 24,5" 1080p 144Hz IPS Monitors coming out in a couple of months. Since performance is important to me I don't think 144 Hz and 1440p would work long term on AAA games... 4. Peripherals No need for peripherals. 5. Why are you upgrading? My OCed FX8320 just ain't cutting it anymore. My idea: I already did some researching and I'm pretty uncertain what to buy. Feel free to correct me. I'm having especially tough time deciding on what GPU and CPU to buy. I definitely want a silent PC and the components should have good build quality. RGB is not important to me. 1. CPU: Either Ryzen 3800x or Intel i7 9700K. The problem is where I live both CPUs cost the same intel price: https://www.idealo.de/preisvergleich/OffersOfProduct/6331736_-i7-9700k-intel.html AMD price: https://www.idealo.de/preisvergleich/OffersOfProduct/6639764_-ryzen-7-3700x-amd.html Since I will be buying aftermarket cooler anyway, the price difference is negligible. I know intel performs better on 1080p but AMD seems more future proof because of the upcoming consoles (not sure on this) and the architecture is newer. 2. GPU: I was kinda sure I wanted to buy RTX 2070 super until I saw 5700 xt. The price difference is HUGE but since I'm building a gaming PC, even if I save 100€ I'm not sure what else should I invest the remaining money. One benchmark I saw gave a slight edge to the 2070 Super. nVidia price https://www.idealo.de/preisvergleich/ProductCategory/16073F1263426.html AMD price: https://www.idealo.de/preisvergleich/ProductCategory/16073F1335211.html 3. Aftermarket CPU Cooler: dark rock pro 4 maybe? 4. Motherboard: Depends on the CPU, I'm willing to spend around 200€ on a board. I almost always OC my CPUs but thats not my priority here. 5. RAM: no idea 6. PSU: I guess 600-650W but still haven't made up my mind which one 7. SSD: Samsung 870 EVO 8. Case: Fractal Design Meshify C with added 2 140mm fans. (2x 140 mm fans in front, 1x rear exhaust fan 120 mm and 1x top exhaust 120 mm) Your advice is appreciated! EDIT 1: Typos
