Brand new Ryzen processors very soon, if you can wait just a few more weeks there's a lot to look forward to. 

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I needATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explainedgroup reg is bad

i would wait like he said a few weeks, the prices for a ryzen 2600 will drop and you will get a better deal on it. 

 

Let us know what you plan on doing with the computer and we could help you out with a list.

I'm going to assume you want to run 1080p at high refresh rates, since this is your first PC. R5 is a very good processor, but like @fasauceome said, I would wait for the next generation. You don't need a 2060 for 1080p. A 1660 or RX 580 would do the trick for way less money. Please inform the thread on the purpose of the PC so we could better help you.

I found two monitors for around $300, one is a 144hz 1ms for my gaming ($200) and another LG 60hz as another ($99). would the setup look bad with two different monitors?

If it’s around another 4 weeks of waiting I can probably get another $300 towards the build.
