What monitor are you going to be using ?

 

You can certainly save on the cpu and psu. I would probably swap out the SSD as well for something like a Crucial MX 500 or Samsung 860 EVO.

For a year or so a regular 27° 1080p display

But saving for a good g-sync 1440p 144hz display

 

What cpu will do a better job for less money?

You could go with the R7 2700 (Or even the R5 2600/X if purely gaming). Just get a decent air cooler and overclock the cpu.

 

The 2080 is overpowered for 1080p but if you are going 1440p 144Hz/165Hz etc then that is fine.

You don't lose your warranty by overclocking. All Ryzen cpu's are unlocked for that reason. By all means stick with the 2700X but get yourself a decent cooler so that it can auto boost.

 

At 1080p high refresh rates Intel will be faster in a lot of games, but if you are going 1440p then there is less of a gap. If you want more for your money then Ryzen is the way to go.

it will survive without any upgrades (except of maybe add additional ram stick) for the next 5-7 years?

You also think i should stay with ryzen and not upgrade to intel?

[Guest]

If you don't want to overclock the cpu then stick with the 2700X and it will boost itself. 

 

You could save a bit on the board, but the Gaming 7 is high end and should cope fine if you ever want to upgrade to a higher core Ryzen 3rd gen.
