Hi, am current planning on building a new PC from scratch. 

Aim is to be able to play games on 1080p~1440p with a min stable 60fps.

Games would included:

-Newer AAA titles such as AC odyssey, Destiny 2.. etc

-Future AAA titles like Cyberpunk 2077

-Older titles such as Witcher 3 etc.

Country: Malaysia (MYR)

Planning to run on at max 2 monitors: 27'' 144hz for 1 and the other will be a standard 24'' 60hz

 

I've already chosen the parts with some probable changes in light of the new announcements made for the Ryzen 3000 & the RTX super cards.

 

Here's the list of the parts I've chosen from the options available at my local store:

Official list from store: IDEALTECH PC BUILDER.pdf

 

CPU: AMD - Ryzen 5 2600X 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor (MYR 820)
CPU Cooler: CRYORIG - H7 Quad Lumi 49 CFM CPU Cooler (MYR 229)
Motherboard: Gigabyte - X470 AORUS ULTRA GAMING ATX AM4 Motherboard (MYR 709)
Memory: G.Skill - Trident Z RGB 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory (MYR 649)
Storage: Gigabyte - M.2 NVMe PCIe 512 GB (MYR 359)
Storage: Gigabyte - M.2 NVMe PCIe 256 GB (MYR 219)  
Video Card: Gigabyte - GeForce RTX 2060 6 GB GAMING OC Video Card (MYR 1,899)
Case: Corsair - Crystal 460X RGB ATX Mid Tower Case (MYR 619)
Power Supply: FSP Hydro PTM 650 (80+ Platinum/Full Modular) (MYR 499)

 

Total cost: MYR 5,942

Approx: USD 1,436 

 

Might plan to swap:

RTX 2060 to a RTX 2060 super

Ryzen 5 2600x to a Ryzen 5 3600x

 

Would like to build to also be somewhat future proofed for the next 4~5 years if possible.

Advice needed includes:

1. Are any parts chosen somewhat of an overkill?

2. Any changes required due to compatibility issues?

3. Should I just wait for x570? xD

 

Thanks in advance guys :D

No obvious compatibility issues I can see

 

If you can wait, would recommend maybe pickup the 3600x with an x570 board.

 

If you really want it to be able to last many  years, would recommend you get a 3700x instead, should handle anything you throw at it.

 

But the graphics card can't really be future proof, as games just get more and more demanding + graphics cards advancements are pretty big. so maybe the RTX 2060 would last you 3 years or so, after that just replace it with a mid range tier card of the generation then.
