New Rig Help

[MooshMooshMoosh]

Hi all. I need some help with my new computer. I just bought the Vast Massdrop 35" monitor (1440p, 100hz, 35"). And I'm realizing my current computer can't handle it :). 

So I'm making a new computer, but I've kinda been out of the loop with new hardware. 

 

From my research, I'm in need of some help deciding for the following parts:
CPU: AMD 3600 or 3700X (leaning towards the 3600 just because the performance isn't that much better and it's like $150-200 more expensive) but I do like the core count on the 3700X. 

GPU: 2060 - 2070 (is the super even worth it?) and also I haven't looked at any AMD cards so if there are some really good ones, please do recommend.

 

If I get the 3600, I'll probably splurge more on the GPU. Any suggestions are welcomed. Thank you in advanced!

How will the system be use?

 

What is the total budget?

 

In what country are you located?

The 3600 will do fine if it means more money for the gpu. The RX 5700 and RX 5700 XT are AMD's equiv of the 2060s and 2070s. There are only blower style versions though at the minute. Better ones are due in Aug/Sep.

Hi brob,

 

I'm using this for gaming and for a lot of simulations/3D modeling. 
My total budget is around 1500, not a very strict budget though. 

Located in the US. 
Thank you

[brob]

That budget certainly allows for a 3700X.

 

The Super were introduced to make Nvidia gpu more competitive with the new AMD gpu. Pricing is roughly the same as the models they replace and there is a small bump in performance.

Hey Brob looks pretty good man. I took some inspiration from your build and tried my own out on pcpartpicker. How does it look?

Looks pretty good. You might consider a different case. The H500 series does not have great airflow.If you want to stick with that series, get the H500 rather than the H500i. Take a look at https://pcpartpicker.com/product/QjWfrH/corsair-carbide-series-275r-white-wtempered-glass-atx-mid-tower-case-cc-9011133-ww.

 

Both the Nzxt and Corsair cases have psu shrouds so it really isn't necessary to get a white psu. But if you want white cables you may want to consider an RMx White.

I'll recommend something like this...

Dang a 2080 within 1500 damn. 
 

One question. So the monitor I have supports freesync but not gsync. Is it worth getting an AMD card just to have freesync or just go with a beefed out nvidia card? Thanks! I'm leaning towards nvidia just because of how much support there is for it and how much more quiet it is. 

[brob]

Nvidia drivers now support a number of freesync (adaptive sync) monitors.

Go with that 2080 super
