Thanks for the response. Dual channel and on the QVL

Budget (including currency): ~20000-25000 NOK (2000 - 2700 USD) Country: Norway Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: IDK. New games, old games, fps, rts. Other details: All new. Buying from Komplett.no. Could buy from different vendors, but I like the ease of buying from one vendor. A lot of this PC is on offer for black week, so I would need to buy it before 30.11.2020 (dd.mm.yyyy). The reason I am not buying the Ryzen 5000 series and the RX 6000 series is that is not in stock. Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix X570-F GAMING, S-AM4 2699,- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3600X 2990,- SSD: Corsair Force Series MP600 1TB M.2 SSD 1790,- HDD: Seagate BarraCuda 2TB 3.5'' HDD 790,- GPU: ASUS Radeon RX 5700 XT ROG Strix OC 4999,- Case: Phanteks Eclipse P400A RGB Black 799,- Memory: G.Skill Trident Z RGB 3600MHz 16GB 2049,- AIO: Corsair Hydro H115i RGB Platinum 1249,- PSU: Corsair TX650M, 650W PSU 1049,- Monitor: AOC 32" Curved CQ32G1 3699,- Fan: Be Quiet! Pure Wings 2 PWM 120mm 139,- Keyboard: Svive Triton Pro RGB Mini 60 499,- Is there anything I should change? Thanks for any answers! I asked for help earlier this year, but then corona hit and prices went way up, so now I am asking again.

Thanks again for the fast response. I did look at the Asus ROG strix 5700xt but then I read that it has heat issues because the heat sink isn't mounted properly or something. I did want a gpu with PCIe 4, but since some of the reviews I read said that it runs kinda hot, I became sceptical. The AOC monitors I looked at that had 1440p and 144hz cost about the same as the MSI. I might be able to find some other shop that has it cheaper, but the monitor (and the gpu) isn't something I want to skimp on. But I will check out if some other shop sells them cheaper, and then check out reviews for the monitors to find out if they are fine. I would really like vivid colours and as little lightbleed as possible. I think I wil go for the stock cooler, since it would save me a lot of money and if it isnt enough, I could always get a new cooler in the future. When it comes to the ram the Hyperx Predator I couldn't find it cheap here in Norway. Only 3200Mhz, not the 3600. And if the Corsair m.2 is good enough, I think I will go for it and save £20. Every little bit helps. Wow! Thank you so much! I don't know what to say... THANKS. Let's just start with the shipping. Normally as long as it costs more than 1k the shipping is free. But some of these shops, I have never heard of. So I need to do some research on them to se that they are reputable. I am unsure about two parts. I am unsure of the 2080. I can't really find thorough reviews of the card. And the reviews I find are in German, which make it kinda hard for me to understand. I did have German in school for five years, but it really doesn't help me. Maybe my roommate can help. He's half German and might be able to translate for me. The other part I am unsure about is the mobo. When I read some reviews of the Asus Prime X570-P, some said that the graphics card might block the chipset fan and lead to some high temps for the mobo. I was looking at the Asus Prime in the start because of the price, but then I read the part about the heat and went with the Asus ROG, even though it is more expensive. I am just really sceptical to heating issues. I dont want to pay 20k NOK for a PC and have the motherboard or gpu running at high temps. I just have to bow down and kiss your feet for your effort. You might just have saved me 5000 NOK, and actually upgraded my build. I will look over the thoroughly tomorrow and see if it's up to par, but so far it's looking really good! Again, thanks so much for the help. You guys are amazing. You are making this anxious process of building a kinda expesive PC so much easier!

Thanks for the response. I am considering a second monitor, but that would have to be probably in one years time, since I am currently in my last year of a bachelor degree (I think it's called undergrad in the us?) and I would have to get a job before I could afford a second monitor. I don't think I want to buy used, since I want the guarantee and it's 60 days no questions asked return where I'm buying, so if I want to switch some components after I have bought I could just send it back and switch to another. Thanks for the response. The Cosair is a bit cheaper, about $20 and it's not slower on read speed, so maybe that's the way to go. When it comes to the RAM I would have to drop down to 3200Mhz if I am going to buy it all at the same place, and maybe I could save about $40 if I go for the G.Skill Flare X DDR4 16GB KIT 3200Mhz, but the reviews I have looked at so far, this could lead to a 10% drop in fps, but I don't really know. In NOK this computer costs about 25k, and I am thinking of capping the budget at 20k, so I am quite a lot over budget. It would primarly be gaming and programming I would do. No streaming. I just want a smooth gaming experience at 1440p. First of all thanks for the response, and as you can see above my budget is about NOK 20k, but I might go 10-15% higher. 1. I am definitly considering the 3600. Here in Norway it's about $40 (USD) differnce in price. Where I am buying it's not in stock at the moment, and I want to buy most of the components in one place, since I am getting a small discount. But the discount is not big enough to justify to wait an undisclosed amount of time for it go get here, so I am also looking at other shops. 2. I did look at the Prime X570-P but I read somewhere that if I have big graphics card it might block the chipset fan and lead to high temps, so I don't know if I want to go there. I dropped the Asus ROG Strix RX 5700XT becuase of the high temps, and high temps is something I want to avoid (obviously). 3. With the RAM I would have to check the QVL before choosing, because I don't really want to configure the RAM myself. I did look at some cheaper ram kits, like G.Skill Flare X DDR4 16GB KIT 3200Mhz. The Ripjaws 3600 is only about $20 cheaper than the RAM I am considering now, and I haven't checked the QVL for that ram kit, but I am sure it is on there. if i save 20 dollars here and 20 dollars, I might reach my budget, so it's definitly a good idea. 4. So the stock cooler is really that good? I did also look at a Noctua cooler, like the nh-u12a, but I am not sure if it would be tall enough to stay clear of the ram. If i drop the cooler I save about $160 to $170, and if the stock cooler is good, that's fantastic. 5. Switching to the Crucial would save me about $40, but then I could go for the Corsair Force MP510 for about $20 more and get the read speed of the Samsung. I have not really looked in to how read speed affects gaming, so if about 500MB/s if good enough, I might just go for that. I might have to check the QVL for m.2 as well, since I want to build to pc to be plug and play with miminimal after build configuration. 6. The case is kind of expensive I know. If I step down to the 400S instead of 600S I am saving about $100 and if i go for the stock cooler on the cpu, the 400S is more than big enough. I will definitly check out PCPartPicker to see if I find a vendor that has parts cheaper. In Norway we also have a couple of pages, like PrisJakten ("the price hunt" directly translated) dedicated to find whatever you are looking for the cheapest. Finally I would like to thank you all again! If i follow some your tips I think i might be under budget! I will check this out to night and post the new build tomorrow. Like I said i just really want a smooth 1440p gaming experience and components that fit optimally together so there is mimimal config to do after the build! Again thanks! -vsop89

Hi, I'm looking to build a new gaming pc. I don't know what my budget would be in USD or CAD because of the price difference of parts compared to where I'm from (Norway). Anyway, this build is a bit over my budget, so I'm wondering if there is anything I could cut back on, or if there is something that should be scaled up. My build: ASUS ROG Strix X570-F Gaming, S-AM4 AMD Ryzen 5 3600X G.Skill Trident Z RGB 3600MHZ 16GB NZXT Kraken X62 Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500GB Asus GeForce RTX 2070 Super Dual Evo OC Cooler Master MasterWatt 650 MSI Optix 27" MAG271CQP Phanteks Eclipse 600S Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5"
