Hey,
I'm new here and need some help with planning a new build I intend to buy in the next couple of days that I intend to use mostly for gaming.
Here are some key points:
- The budget is about 1600 USD dollars max. (not including case)
- I don't need any monitors, already have one and will use the PC to connect it to a 4k TV
- I have a couple of SSDs in my old build, will probably move them over (SATA ones)
- I didn't decide on a case yet, it doesn't matter that much, It must fit in a tight spot in the desk : 47cm D, 50cm H, 22cm (it has good airflow don't worry)
This is my initial build:

I will probably won't upgrade the build and intend to use it at least 5 years. Maybe I will put an extra RAM or Cooler, but won't replace major parts.
I went with 3700x because I herd it has a decent CPU cooler, and I don't have the budget for a custom one now.
I'm not sure about the GPU.
Any suggestions?
