Title, i have the A520M H motherboard from Gigabyte, and I likned the spec sheet but this part I don't understand: CPU: 1 x PCI Express x16 slot, supporting PCIe 3.0 and running at x16 Chipset: 2 x PCI Express x1 slots, supporting PCIe 3.0 Does that mean that I can have basically any GPU running at x16 or will it be locked down to x1? My CPU is AMD Ryzen 5 5600X / 6 Core / 12 Thread / 3.7GHz / 4.6GHz Boost / TDP 65W / Wraith Stealth / 100-100000065BOX, I have a Nvidia 720 GPU just to make the PC actually have graphics but I'd love to also be able to play Monster Hunter World and some other GPU intensive games, my max budget is $500 USD what card would you reccomend? also what other info would let me make a better desition of which GPU to get? Thanks Edit: This is my case, the site is in spanish but the important part is that it has a 500W power source, the measures are 180x360x410mm.

Ah ok, so that could be like a "Light" alternative to CPU OC? then i'll try it, i'll have to read a lot on that before though hahaha, i'll look into that and compare both builds that have been posted here, also isn't haveing an SSD for games and OS and a HDD for the rest a basic norm? because it looks like the price for 1 TB vs 2 TB SSD is not that worthy comparing to the 50 USD i can spend to get a 2 TB HDD for stuff and regular storage and the other 50 USD to buy a nice meal.

Does that have a tangible effect? like take a game/thing from 60 FPS to 80+ or make video rendering take at least 20% less time? (Light video edit, nothing crazy that needs 200+Gb of memory)

Also looks good, any keyboards and mice you reccomend? As i stated earlier i don't care for RGB but a backlit keyboard will save my ass when i'm crunching overnight work. We'll have to see what's up with the new bois when they arrive.

Ah ok, then i won't try OC until i can aford the next thing in a couple years because waranty violation and stuff, also storage is ok as that because my LT has a 1Tb HDD and i haven't filled it up yet... although i'm uninstalling and reinstalling games constantly to have a 250+ Gb of wiggle room for whatever may arise.

Yeah, i tried Cemu on my Laptop Dell G3 17, and boy i can't get past the first textbox on the hunting area hahaha, it just hangs. and as no one's emulating i couldn't get any real helpl troubleshooting, but MK8, Smash4, other staples are very stable and running fine for most people, although i don't really care for them.

Well forget the Wii U emulation, the only game i'd like to emulate from there is MH3U anyways and i have it on 3DS (although higher res would be better), Also i have no monitors but i could do with 1 until the next month or two after building the thing... guess i'll wait until 2021 for the R4 and Nv3080, i just hope i'm able to afford all that after all, i'd be even willing to go to 2500 if there's a BIG increase in performance... but if the margin is less than 10% then i'd rather not suprass the 2k. Thanks @HelpfulTechWizard , Also is that for default use or for OC? is Water cooling NEEDED for OC? @RadiatingLight Yeah, that's why i went with a 2070 Super, all those 30X cards were sold before the hour hahaha

Budget (including currency): 1500-2000 USD Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Modded Minecraft, The Witcher III, Modded Skyrim, PSX/2 Emulation, GC/Wii Emulation (i have the games but all the consoles [except PS1] are dead), Path Of Exile, Mabinogi at 1080p or even 2K if it's possible Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): NewEgg build I plan to use 2 monitors because i'd like to stream in the future (2021/Q3+) and also for looking at other things while i play in more grindy games (like MMOs) CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700x GHz 8-core Processor CPU cooler: Default AMD Wraith Prism LED RGB Cooler Fan Motherboard: MSI B450 Tomahawk Max AM4 AMD SATA 6Gb/s ATX Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8 GB) DDR4 3200 Storage: Seagate BarraCuda 3TB 7200 RPM 64MG cache HDD + Crucial P1 1TB 3D NAND NVMe PCIe Internal SSD. Video Card: GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 2070 Super Windforce Case: Fractal Design Focus G Black ATX Mid Tower. Operating System: Windows 10 Home PSU: Seasonic EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G3 80+Gold Fully Modular UPS: CyberPower CP1500AVRLCD I'm not into RGB because it mostly distracts me, I BELIEVE there's no incompatibility, also i'm kind of afraid of OC so, if i can benefit from a lesser CPU or i can find a good solution of OC without much (or any at all preferably) instability, it'd be great if you'd teach me of the ways of the smart builder. In the build i tried to choose items with 4+ rating and with the largest amount of ratings while being comfortable in my budget, i plan to bulild this thing late 2020 or early 2021 (max Feb) Thanks for the responses.
