VR/Gamin/Streaming pc under $2000 above $1200

[Kyleren0209]

Hey everyone I’m building a VR build compatible with the HTC Vive. Also it will be used to steam and game on games like COD, Fortnite, Minecraft and CSGO. We are looking at a intel cpu i7 or i9, a GPU 2070 super or 2080 super and the z390 p Asus motherboard. Also there needs to be a type c USB port somewhere on the case. We are looking at 16+ gb of ram at 3000-3200+. Also would like rgb integrated in some way. We are open to suggestions on all parts but want the pc to be able to last and need minor upgrades here and there. We are also looking for Microsoft system to be included in the price of the build. We found a pre built that look awesome but it is on the higher end of our price point. Check US link below.

I'm also rooting for the Ryzen 9 build above. You'll get like a 5% performance reduction today, for a large improvement tomorrow.

How is there a large improvement later?

It has more threads. We've already seen this before, with the Ryzen 5 1600 and the 7600K. The 7600K in modern games does pretty poorly, while the 1600 still does pretty ok. 

 

It'll do better in streaming and recording too, in case you ever decide to do that.

Looking at the cpu gpu and mother board can’t you save some by switching to intel? Is there other options or different builds?

You'd end up spending the $15 in CPU savings on the motherboard later for VRMs, if you don't want the thing to throttle itself.

Out of curiosity why is the Ryzen 9 3900 the more common chosen option over the intel i9 9900k?

It's a 12 core option. At the same price. With nearly the same single core speed.

You would be fine with a 3700X. You don't need a 12 core for gaming/streaming/VR.

Why no t the six core 3600 then, which does the same at gaming..

No, it doesn't. The 3700X, yes currently, but the 3600 can actually be fully utilized by a well optimized games.
