Used market is still ok at least here in the US, maybe you can find a GTX 1080 or something

Yeah it'll bottleneck a bit but the question is if it matters, you'll be getting the the performance you want just save up a bit and wait for the r5 5600 non X to be on store shelves. EDIT: also fwiw a 1440p 144hz monitor would probably improve your experience a lot more than a new CPU if you already have a 3060ti

My RTX 3070 stock at full load draws ~245-250W total board power according to GPU-Z so it'll depend on what cpu you have and whether you plan on overclocking. TX550 is probably fine with an 8600K at stock, but if there are any severe power spikes like there can be with the RTX 3080 (haven't heard of this being a problem with the 3070) there's a chance your psu shuts off. No harm in trying, if you have problems you can always just upgrade.

The nzxt c850, which is a rebranded seasonic gx, is $130 with free shipping, might be worth a look. All of these psus are rebranded, it’s not like evga is actually making their own psus. Corsair rebrands a lot too, the rmx series is made by channel well. What’s actually inside is what’s important and price doesn’t always reflect quality. Both of your given options are good you can probably just get similar quality for less money with another brand.

How much are you planning on paying for these? Because there are definitely other excellent tier 1 psus in the price range or cheaper than those 2.

If those are all the prices available to you then the LG is a slam dunk purchase

5700XT is quite a bit faster, something like 60% faster than the 980 ti. The GTX 980ti and the GTX 1070 are pretty evenly matched performance-wise but it's always good to keep in mind that nvidia is gonna prioritize newer gen cards when they're optimizing drivers for new games. Sometimes the older cards get left out a bit, happened to a huge extent with the 780ti.

You don't need a 280mm AIO for the 5900X, it really doesn't run that hot. You could totally get away with a Noctua u14s or u12a. Depends on what you're after. Air cooler will have a different sound profile and better reliability, AIO looks nicer and cools better until it gets heat soaked. TBH your high quality 650W psu would almost certainly do just fine with a 5900X and 3080 as long as you're not doing anything crazy with overclocking, always nice to have the extra headroom but depends on how much money you feel like spending. The 750W recommendation is really for 10900K users, that cpu can draw a TON of power if you start OCing.

Throw the LG 27GL83A-B in that list as well, it's an amazon exclusive though I think.

Also fwiw the Dell S2719DGF, Gigabyte FI27Q-P, some Lenovo monitor I can't remember the name of, and LG 27" 1440p 144hz offerings all have the same LG panel so you can price shop those. Keep a look out for the MSI MAG274QRF-QD as well.

HJardware unboxed does really good monitor reviews too EDIT: Also it's probably not worth going VA or TN in your price range. TN usually has subpar colors and there are just better options out there. VA can be great but they're really at the budget end with AOC or the super high end with Samsung odyssey displays. Your budget should get you a really solid IPS display.

Oh sweet that's a much better list, thanks. TBH I always just always wrote off anything that wasn't corsair, evga, seasonic, or one of the big brands. Thermaltake kinda scared me and the only antec PSU i've owned had a super loud delta fan in it. I think i'm going to buy the phanteks, that sounds great to me.

I would try to set up some kind of alert that notifies you of 3070 stock so you can buy one at msrp if you can. Some people in the US have discord servers where if someone in the server sees stock in a brick and mortar store they notify the server, maybe there's something similar there? Unless you REALLY need a graphics card right now, paying £700 for a 2070 super seems pretty terrible. Maybe radeon stock will be better

So I'm down to a few PSU's to choose from before I buy probably an RX 6800XT (obv pending reviews) which has a 750W power supply recommendation and am wondering which of these options I should buy. I don't keep up too much with the PSU market, so TBH based on the LTT PSU chart they all seem like viable options. Hoping someone can shed some light on whether any of these are subpar or excellent. Modularity and looks aren't a huge deal for me (case with psu shroud), so if I can get away with the Segotep unit I'd definitely consider it. What I'm replacing: 500W bronze Microcenter in house brand PSU (bought it when this was the only stock they had) Cheap option (amazon): Segotep 700W Gold: $75, nonmodular, tier B More expensive (would buy from microcenter): Corsair RM750: $140, fully modular, tier A Corsair RM850: $150, fully modular, tier A EVGA SuperNova 750 GT: $135, tier A low priority EVGA SuperNova 850 GA: $145, tier B low priorioty Seasonic Focus Plus 750/850: $135/145, Tier A low priority (I think these units would be newer than 2018?) NZXT C850/C750: $150/135, Tier A Current build: R7 2700x, b450 mobo, GTX 1070 ti

https://www.techspot.com/review/1939-red-dead-redemption-2-benchmarks/ Lists an average of 57fps for 4k high on a 2080ti. This review is almost a year old so there could have been some driver optimization in that time but it shouldn't be more than a couple percent.
