Hello everyone,

I have $2500 US to rebuild my PC. I already have an Corsair CX850M PSU, Dual 250G SSD and 1TB HHD. Im planning to have an X570MB and Ryzen 9 3900. I would also prefer to use the M.2 and run it with 32G ram. any help would be great. The rig will be used for game play and game dev.

To be honest, I think in price to performance, you'd be better off getting a 3700X and a ROG STRIX cooler on the 2080Ti. The gaming difference is negligible between the two chips for a pretty good savings, and even for serious workload computing, the 3700X is incredibly solid.

I'm unsure why the Ripjaws listing didn't appear when I was putting that suggestion together, but I fully agree with @Herman Mcpootis RAM choice over the one in my build :P MUCH better option.

I'd avoid TUF series boards, just based on the last few generations.

buildzoid quite liked the X570 TUF, claiming it cannibalizes their more expensive $200-300 motherboards.
