Maybe I need to update the thread about E3 so it isn't dead that much.

Here you go:

 

A bit over the budget. This is a really fast SSD though, you can save some money with a cheaper SSD, cheaper case, cheaper RAM. I would spend more on a decent GPU, in this case a RTX 2080 should fit into the 1300 USD budget.

 

As others have said, you should wait 1 month for Ryzen 3000 series, and put a Ryzen 3700X and a B550 motherboard in there for around the same cost.

If you are getting the system in the next month or so, something like the following. Otherwise, wait for the independent benchmarks reviews for the new Zen 2 cpu and motherboards.

We’ll have to wait for benchmarks and see how the performance is compared to price.
