My first build - advice

Hey guys

 

I'm pretty new to PC-building and I want to upgrade from my "gaming" laptop to a desktop.

I was planning on using these parts, but I have no idea if they go together or not. Can you give me some advice if this system will even work?

  • AMD Ryzen 5 3600
  • ASUS TUF gaming X570-plus
  • ASUS ROG-STRIX-RTX2060-6G-GAMING
  • CORSAIR VENGEANCE RGB PRO 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4-3200
  • Samsung 970 EVO 1TB
  • Corsair RM650X
  • Corsair 110R

My budget is about €1300+-50 and I live in Belgium.

The pc's main purpose will be for gaming, I also might be doing some photoshop or programming (but this as a hobby).

I only need 1 monitor but with the possibility of adding max 2 more.

I don't need any peripherals as I already have them.

 

Thanks

At that price point, you can go for a 3700x and a 2070s but you might want to get rid of the "pretty" such as rgb ram and such.

Since you're doing photoshop and programming as a hobby a 3600 is enough.

 

The MSI B450 A-Pro Max supports 3000 serie out of the box.

 

The price of the Samsung NVMe is ridiculous and for -0.2s to load a game it's not worth it at all.

 

A 2070S could be better but seeing the price, you should keep the 5700XT. 150€ difference is not worth the 10FPS you'll gain in average.

Hey @MartinKweh thanks for the advice, will the GPU, CPU and motherboard work together though?

Yes but the motherboard is unnecessary and the GPU is bad value.

@Meganter, any suggestion for another GTX 2060?

The rx5700xt he included in the build is much better than the 2060.

If you want nvidia, go for a 2060 super or 2070, which should be the same price as the 5700xt, but slower
