I'm not sure about that PSU they have in there.

not really a deal i'd say your breaking even if you were to buy these items off sale basically

 

if you were to make this exact setup price would be about the same

If you pirate windows(not suggesting you do this of course) or already have a license or buy slightly cheaper power supply or case you could break even. Not including the keyboard + mouse + battlefield V. 

 

Double edit: This build includes superior parts to those in the build posted in the OP. Better memory, better power supply, likely better case, probably better cooler.

I'll leave this here

[Jurrunio]

Not a bad price, but that cooler, motherboard and SSD makes me cringe. If I'm the one wanting a gaming rig as such, I'd replace all those stuff with things I think that are good, get a Vega card (for Freesync and AMD's free game code) for $400-450 (slower, but I'd rather put money elsewhere), spend the money saved on the machine for a gaming monitor, keyboard, mouse, even mouse pad

Buy Win 10 for $25 on Kinguin or whatever (Paul has a vid)

Oh the mobo is bad, the cooling is bad.

I agree, truth is you run at stock, you still get MUCH better performance than that build for the same price.

so you add something that can almost catch fire? and buy an overpriced gpu, a meh psu and a stepdown cpu? wouldn't be my choise

Right, ‘almost catch fire’. Really, this is not an eBay China motherboard. Why would a motherboard with VRM heatsinks (or even one without) from a decently reputable brand ‘catch fire’ running a Ryzen 5 at STOCK. (Also would like to point out I’ve been used 2 Biostar motherboards, no VRM heatsinks and all and my first one I bought in 2010 is still running and it was overclocked day one, certainly did not catch fire) 

I mean, how is this EVGA psu ‘meh’? I know the importance of a power supply and this is not some random ‘TRASH’ power supply, not like I even chose a 80+ Bronze psu. (Not saying 80+ ratings are a factor of how good your power supply is but it gives a good indicator, and 80+ Gold EVGA power supplies are not meh at all)  

Overpriced GPU and stepdown CPU, I agree. But, if he really wants to get a PC now and wants to get the highest FPS, this is it. Getting a better CPU realistically is not going to cover the FPS leap from a 2080 and a 2080 Ti.

look, if you have money for one, you have money for the other. a g2 is 5 bucks more, a good mobo would be 80-250 bucks, and the 2080 ti is overpriced for what it is. It isn't worth the massive downgrade you get with that mobo, the psu, cpu downgrade, storage quality, and case downgrade. I wouldn't do it imo. But we're both here to give an advice, and we differ a bit

Of course, I understand what u mean. Likely, the PSU is probably better or as good as OP’s config. Unless he is doing something CPU intensive and not just Gaming that would justify the coffee i7, the R5 is fine for what it is. Case is debatable, depends on personal opinion, but feature wise it has USB 3, maybe you can argue no Type C but idk, I don’t even have any reason to plug a Type C device into my PC. The motherboard really is fine, it’s gonna be running a R5 at stock. Maybe Team isn’t a reputable SSD brand and one may be skeptical of using it but speed wise, trust me almost no one can discern it from say an 850 Evo.

of course, we can only give our opinions. OP will make his decision.

well, quality and failure rate exists too with such different mobo's. R5 is fine, but I would pay a bit more for the 2600. Team isn't that reputable, and I can see the difference between a cacheless and a cached ssd in daily workloads. So a 860 evo or mx500 would be a great investment. we're talking about one of the most important things in a pc here. your data. And with a good mobo op can get a better zen 2 chip down the line, and that mobo I wouldn't trust with anything above a r3.
