Hello everyone,
since my 3rd gen intel is getting rusty and the gtx 970 can't keep up with current games at 1440p I'm looking forward to build a new system. I already checked out most of Linus videos, your awesome megathreads and recommendations - which helped me a lot (awesome forum). I'm still not 100% sure about some things - maybe you can help me out.
System Usage:
15% CAD - 30% Coding - 55% Gaming
Dual Boot - 30% Linux - 70% Windows
Things im currently looking forward to:

Things I'm still not sure about:
There are two different versions of this RAM available (btw. I don’t care about RGB - it's just the cheapest one available atm):
“CL-16” as “16-19-19-39” listed at 200€
“CL-16” as “16-16-16-36” listed at 390€
So far I'm informed that 3200 @ CL-14 and 3600 @ CL-16 are the sweet spots for ryzen when looking for price/performance. Sadly I’m not deep enough into this stuff to be sure about the worth of better tRCD and tRP numbers but twice the price seems to be a bit overkill.
The GPU (and everything else) should hit a good price/performance on the higher level - also open for other manufacturers I got no real cap in terms of budget, as long as it makes sense (and run Cyberpunk on 1440p with ultra setting) I'm fine with it. If you think the 240€ upgrade to the 2080 SUPER (or something else) is worth it, I'm in.
Many thanks in advance.
