I have SSDs and HDDS sitting around so I don't need to buy them. I am interested in eventually fitting a custom water cooling loop. As this would be my first water cooled pc I want something working in the meantime. Also can I get similar fps with a Ryzen 3700x and a B450 and have a more obvious upgrade pathway?

You'll be better off with a 3700x and b450 combo tbh either way.

Also nvme ssds do not bring any benefit to gaming what so ever so if you want to save some money remove that and get a sata drive or use one of the ones you have around.

The ryzen cpu can also run just fine on the stock cooler so you can again save a fair bit of money there.

If you want cheaper rgb look into aigo stuff.

 

All in all I would for sure switch to amd where you will get the same fps but way more headroom for future things + not run into issues when all 6 cores are being taken by a game and you have like twitch or youtube open in the background.

I read on cpubenchmark "With strong single-core scores, the 3700X should offer very strong gaming performance but in reality it is let down by its memory controller, which, although significantly improved over previous Ryzen iterations, still has limited bandwidth and high latency. The heavily hyped 3700X offers real world gaming performance comparable to the $80 USD entry level 4-core, 4-thread Intel Core i3-9100F. At $320 USD, the 3700X offers reasonable value to full time media encoders but general desktop users, gamers and even streamers should look elsewhere" If the only benefit to the 3700x is cheaper multithreaded performance, maybe my specific case of h.264 encoding and gaming, specifically Fortnite warrants an Intel chip? pic_disp.php?id=56273

userbenchmark doesn't give a fuck about anything better than a quad core CPU, so don't bother with them when looking for benchmarks.
