Building a pc

[Robotics040]

I am planning on building a new pc for mostly gaming but also some video/photo editing and productivity stuff. And I was wondering if this is a good pc build or should I change something. Let me know.

 

PSU: Ryzen 5 2600X

 

GPU: RTX 2070 gigabyte 8g 

 

Motherboard: MSI b450 tomahawk. 

 

Memory: 16gb Corsair RGB pro 3200MHz

 

Case: NZXT H500

 

SSD: 860 evo 500gb

 

PSU: Corsair  RM850x 850W 80+ Gold - White

 

Everything is about: 1500$.

That's not bad, but if you're only gaming at 1080p, save some money and get a 2060. I wouldn't get a 2070 or higher unless you're trying to break into 1440p resolution. Not only that but the 2070 is priced poorly, unless you find a great deal on a used one..

A 550W psu is more than enough capacity for this system.

 

There is little point in using a white psu since the case has a psu shroud.

In Sweden where I live a RTX 2060 cost around 450$ and a RTX 2070 around 550$ is it worth the extra 100$?

Yeah I know that is does not need 850W but the corsair power supply has white custom sleeved cables that cost around 100$.

That's completely up to you. If it's only a $100 you might as well, just for that little extra longevity you might get from it. At 1080p <144hz, I don't think it matters..

Op is in Sweden, and that board is crappy anyway.
