Yea, Id get a name brand one that should be more reliable too.
 
Id skip that, you can use it, but why use a old ssd here, your just adding another point of failure.
 
 

Yes it was intentional because it's a good X570 and the other good ones are not available or too expensive.
The MSI Pro Carbon X570 is not great for it's price, the B450 would be better. So really not worth it compared to the Aorus Elite.
 
Yes it's not a lot so for future proofing the X570 is better ram wise and SSD Gen 4.
If the Aorus Gen 4 is at the same price as the 970, you should go for it with a X570 because it will have better speed.
 

CPU and PSU are OK for me.
 
For the motherboard get one of these (they are Zen 2 ready and better than the Aorus) :

TX550M it is ,
 
Since I am going for a RGB setup, I would go for the G.Skill trident RGB ones, for some reason the
F4-3200C16D-32GTZRX is cheaper than the
F4-3200C16D-32GTZR, (but this is probably just me thinking X means better/newer version)

The versions I found (sorry, this is a huge list required some digging):
Gainward Gain8GB D6 RTX 2070 (€570)
Palit GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER GamingPro OC (€550)
Gainward GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER Phoenix (€540)
ASUS ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER GAMING (€510)
Gainward GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER Phoenix GS (€500)
Palit GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER GamingPro (€485)
GIGABYTE AORUS GeForce RTX 2060 AORUS SUPER (€480)
GIGABYTE GiBy8GB D6 RTX 2070 Windforce 2X 8G (€480)
ASUS ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER O8G GAMING (€480)
MSI GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER GAMING X (€475)
ASUS GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER DUAL O8G EVO (€470)
GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER GAMING OC (€460)
Palit GeForce RTX 2060 Dual OC 6G (€450)
Palit GeForce RTX 2060 StormX OC (€450)
MSI GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER VENTUS OC (€440)
Gainward GeForce RTX 2060 Ghost OC 6GB (€440)
GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER WINDFORCE OC (€430)
GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 2060 OC 6G (€350)

But I would prefer to only spend 300-400 on a graphics card (could go a little over 400, but I would rather not spend 500 or more) as this is pretty much not that important to me (I am not a PC gamer) but I also don't want to cheap out on it too much and GPUs have more use and I might actually game on it at some point for a little bit. (And I would feel bad getting such an expensive PC, and have it incapable of handling games atleast decently), which is why I am in doubt about the last 2 on the list (the super windforce oc vs the "normal" oc), if the super windforce is notably better (which I am assuming it is from previous comments) I would probably opt for that one

Unfortunately I could not find an EX920 or 660P in the list, besides the previously listed (Aorus and 970 Plus), there is also the option of going for a "normal" 970
Samsung 970 EVO, 1 TB(MZ-V7E1T0BW, M.2 (2280)), which will save me roughly 50 bucks over the other 2 (and if this works well in combination with the B450 instead of X570, I might just go for that combination and save roughly 150.

Tevens goedenavond  (ik was even avondeten)

EDIT: I updated the main post with my current build I have in mind (going to sleep on it for a bit, and watch the sales coming up soon, but the build will probably be something similar to that)
Thank you all for your inputs you have been of great helm and assistance

550 watt seems good for the power supply

to explain it briefly here (and this is a problem with modern systems and group regs in general):
 
the vs550 is a group regulated unit, which means that it regulates 5v (mostly storage) and 12v (most components) together
 
as you draw a lot from 12v with your gpu and cpu, while little on the 5v, the 5v can go up and get "out of specification", this goes mostly unnoticed, but lowers the lifespan of the components connected to it
 
this is why i recommend a dcdc, or at least individual regulation for a modern system.
 
cx 2017 is an example of this, but I've seen a bifenix whisper going for 20 bucks more

What's your country and budget ? So we can do something better.

i see... I'll focus mostly on the psu here
 
what do they offer for options?

If it's available on alternate.nl (it's not on PCP), it's a good build, if you want to save money, go for a 3600, b450, 2x8 rams and a 2060S.

It seems roughly the same, my build seems a little bit more expensive and after comparing some parts the difference doesn't seem that big (my RAM seems to cost 190 euro instead of 170 usd, and a few other 10 bucks differences)

I would also pay 100 euro for assembly and having it configured (this will also include a better warranty service for me)

Hello good friends at LTT, I have been a proud youtube subscriber for a long time, but never before pulled together to join the LTT forums. Now the day has come I am working on a new pc build, and since I do not have much experience with this I was hoping some of you that do, could elaborate on some of my decisions (whether some stuff doesn't go together well, or at all) and if some decisions I have made could be replaced with something else that could perform far better in a setup like this. Or perhaps you have personal experience with one of the parts I picked, and highly recommended for (or against) using it ?

My aim for this machine is to mainly use it for software engineering (read: run a 100 google chrome tabs, an IDE, and probably several other programs in the background), I am not much of a gamer, and will probably never really use it for gaming, although I would like to keep some options open and be able to atleast run high quality minecraft, and possibly even use it for VR later on when the headsets become even better (and cheaper), I would probably also end up running tensorflow for some projects, and since NVIDIA CUDA release, I would prefer to have a GPU from NVIDIA. I would also run atleast a dual monitor setup, perhaps even a triple monitor in the future, but I don't see that happening very soon (I also do not think I would be running a 4K monitor very soon, but that might happen sooner than a triple monitor setup)

Without further ado, this is my current grocery list:

Ryzen 7 3700X socket AM4 processor, 
GIGABYTE AORUS B450 PRO (rev. 1.0), socket AM4 motherboard
GIGABYTE AORUS NVMe Gen4 SSD, 1 TB (GP-ASM2NE6100TTTD, M.2 2280, PCIe 4.0 x4, NVMe 1.3)
GeForce RTX 2060 OC 6G graphics card, 
Corsair 32 GB DDR4-3200 Kit memory (CMW32GX4M2Z3200C16, Vengeance RGB Pro, AMD Ryzen Optimized)
NIGHT SHARK RGB tower-case, 
Corsair VS550 - 550 Watt 80 PLUS power, 
NH-L9x65U cpu-cooler)

Ps. I also am not too sure what to choose for power supply, but I would assume a 550 watt would be sufficient?

Thank you all

EDIT: After some suggestions, I have changed some things around, the aorus nvme is replaced with a samsung 970 evo, the rtx 2060 with a 2060 super windforce, corsairs ram with a similar one from G.Skill and lastly a better PSU (VS550 replaced with TX550M)
