I think we should get people explain why a particular configuration better. Because without it it's just another list of random components to me.

So I shouldn’t get a water cooler and use the stock that comes with the 3600 if I go with this?

Thermalright macho rev b is an excellent cooler for around $50. It outperforms all the coolers in it's price range. Scythe fuma is also an option.

Msi b450 pro a is on the same tier as tomahawk on the motherboard tier list.

Also it is around $30 cheaper.

Upgraded ram to 16gb 3200mhz cl16.

5700xt is a much better buy considering its price and performance. I'll recommend the aib version of the card from sapphire.

Upgraded PSU to supernova p2.

Upgraded monitor to 1440p 144hz.

Is the 5700 xt better than a 2060 super because the super is only 10 more

5700xt trades blows with 2070 super

It competes with the 2070 Super at 2060 Super pricing.
