New Ryzen very soon, just over a month away. Worth the wait?

With that rig in his sig, waiting will be no issue.  Wait for Ryzen 3 to be tested and benched.  

 

Tho you could just get another 8GB RAM and a better GPU (that you'd normally get with that new PC you are waiting to build) and the monitor and you'll be fine.  6700 isn't a bad CPU.

 

GPU - RTX2060+, Vega 56/64

I was about to say the same thing.  That rig in his signature as "Current PC and Peripherals" is a GPU upgrade and a monitor away from playing games at 144Hz 1080p.  Not to mention already has a good mouse and keyboard.

 

You can get a lot of mileage out of the i7-6700, shame it's not a -k series though so you could overclock since the H7 is a quality air cooler and could handle it.

Here's two monitors that meet what you want that I would consider (slightly better reviews for the MSI Optix):

Since you're quoting a price in euros care to mention which country we'd have to price match for?  Unless you want me to assume Germany's prices in PCPartPicker.

New AMD graphic cards coming too, but prices on Vega are great right now.

Would recommend waiting, but if your friend wants a PC right now this is what I would go for. I'll leave the keyboard and mouse choice up to you/him as preferences for those differ from person to person

I also see some value in waiting if he doesn't need the build this month, but if he does this is the direction I'd go in.  The monitor looks not bad for this build but the keyboard and mouse combo I threw in as a price placeholder so feel free to let him pick that.  I wanted to squeeze in a fat GPU upgrade so it will handily dish out 144fps (aided by the IPC that some games favor thanks to having 9th Gen i5).  Worth noting that may need to confirm with motherboard vendor that the BIOS they're shipping supports the CPU, only potential pitfall with the newer CPUs and B360M boards but hard to avoid with newer silicon.

Why pay more for a TN panel?  Seems like not a good deal compared to a £176.47 VA panel from AOC.

But are you implying he keep his current build?  Cuz it's not for him.  Also if he's going to wait for Zen2 then why pick the GPU now when RX 5700 Navi is coming, that'll shake up GPU prices anyway.

Reading is hard.  See replies from OP before you post.

Will a 2060 a ryzen 5 2600 and 8gb ram be ok?

It will until you hit that 8GB ceiling.  16GB is preferred, but you can close as many apps as possible and game lean.

The build I posted is better performance and bang/buck with a Vega 56 for cheaper than you'll find an RTX 2060.
