One of the worst performing of X570 boards, good enough for up to a 3700x which is very bad when Asus X570-P can pass stress test with an overclocked 3900x easily. Gigabyte Elite and Asus TUF are better options for maximizing CPU upgrade options
Carbon board isn't great either, not sure if it's better than the X570-P but definitely worse than TUF and Elite.
Overpriced drives. The 500GB drive cost noticeably more than competing drives like the Adata SX8200 Pro or HP EX920, while the 2TB one cost as much as some PCIe 4.0 drives, namely the Corsair MP600 and Sabrent Rocket 4.0.
Overkill, could do with a 550w for now and dont see a reason to go past 750w (not even 3950x + 2080ti can go past 650w in stress tests)

> better CPU for streaming
> RGB RAM I guess? But more importantly, it's 3600Mhz CL16 (the sweet spot for Zen 2) while keeping your 32GB capacity
> mobo with 3 M.2 slots, letting you run 2 2TB NVMe drives with the same 500GB boot drive for about the same price as the HDD combo you had before. You lose 1TB of space overall, but you're still getting 4.5TB of extremely fast storage
> 2070 Super STRIX because it fits in the budget and the STRIX cards are very nice indeed
> cheaper case while still being quality and also more compact
> great PSU, the RMx series is stellar (I run an RMi, basically the same thing but with full system wattage monitoring)
> Much cheaper monitor. It's TN, but a very good TN panel with a slightly higher refresh rate, also supports FreeSync which works with Nvidia and AMD GPUs.
If you plan to encode streams on the CPU, I'd keep the 3700X and swap out the 2070 Super for a Gaming X 5700 XT. Good bit cheaper and about the same performance. If you plan to encode on the GPU, the 2000 series RTX cards have amazing NVENC encoders, whereas AMD's cards are terrible at it, so defo stick with Nvidia on that one.
