    MksDvl got a reaction from -rascal- in Motherboard and PCIe case bracket   
    The M version! Thanks for the help. Now waiting another month for the 2070 Super Founders Edition to be back in stock. They sold out in like 5 mins today...

    you are welcome for the info. I did my first build in Nov. of 2018 and kept only the GPU and CPU cooler from the computer I replaced because both worked and the CPU cooler was actually bigger than the one that came with the CPU. I just recently changed my GPU because the old one I kept starting failing on me so I decided with the 2070 super. EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER FTW3 ULTRA+, OVERCLOCKED, 2.75 Slot Extreme Cool Triple + iCX2, 65C Gaming, RGB, Metal Backplate, 08G-P4-3377-KR, 8GB 15.5GHz GDDR6
     
    make sure you take a look at that list because on that list is has the gigabyte as a 
    and the gigabyte as a Tier C Midrange (good PCB, midrange cooler)
    Gigabyte: Gaming OC
    and the asus as a 
    Tier D Low-Midrange (okay cooled cards, decent enough pcb)
    Asus: Dual

    well did those builds have the fans in the front of the case? that takes away some of the space for the GPU. you can remove them for a bigger space but then lose airflow into and out of the case. if you are not having an issue and can wait, then it probably is better to wait for the next series of cards but the "release" date a lot of people in the tech industry are mentioning is more likely to be the announcement that they are going to be making those cards and then its still going to be months or a year before they actually hit the shelves. not to mention the delays because what is going on right now. and I personally don't think its going to be worth it unless someone comes out with a truly 8k display but then again my current card will handle that no problem as I just got a RTX 2070 super yesterday.

    alright then let me ask you this. are you or are you going to water cool the system or air cool only? I ask because with your case, you are basically going to be limited to "founders" edition GPUs (i.e. linked below). these cards are usually about 30mm shorter than what your case will allow so they will fit. the problem with these cards is that they are also hot running, normally 60*C at idle. if you are going to water cool then you can pretty much buy any card you want as the bulk of the card is the heat sync and the fans. and they do make after market water coolers for these cards like the hydro copper from EVGA for 20XX series cards.

    No, there's still some ventilation in front. Hardly much at all, but some.

    the stock cooler is decent if you don't want to overclock or if you don't care about having a very quiet system.

    The MAX series from msi ship with the correct bios for 3000 series.

    I already have the Storage from my old PC and not thinking about adding some now. The case is going to be the Corsair 280x. I have the luxury now to make the build I want without cutting corners on stuff like that. But thanks for the list and the help with the motherboard. I already bought the Ram this morning on NewEgg went for the Corsair DDR4 3600 RGB Pro 16 gb for 129$ down from 149$.

    Sorry about that. I was thinking a 2060 Super or RX5700

    what's the purpose of the pc? the r5 3600 is better in most cases than the 2700x, while being the same price.
    msi b450 boards are very good, I'd recommend the a-pro max, gaming plus max or tomahawk max. they come with the right bios for the 3000 ryzen series, so there's no need to invest in x570.

    I wouldn't be able to help but I'm pretty sure most people would want to look at the source code (in GitHub or somewhere)
