[thx1138]

you have a pcpartpicker list? you located in US?(near a microcenter?) are you okay with cpu/RAM overclocking?

you've already been told about the better 5700 price/perf...

do you have a 1st or 2nd gen ryzen to bios flash the motherboard?

your setup is good, just make sure that you take the correct precautions, and you have the right equipment. also, make sure your cable management is good

 

good cable management = better airflow and overall cleaner aesthetics

I mean...I get that......but...price/perf.......you are looking at 100$ instead of 53$ and you basically get no performance.

quality bro, itll last a lot longer and quality. I dont take risks when it comes to power, specially when ur chugging out half a kilowatt on delicate pc components. Just what i always recommend.

Get a RTX 2060 Super instead. If you don't want Ray Tracing, you can get a similar performing RX 5700 XT for a bit cheaper; make sure to get a non-reference one with a good cooler.

You will also have to BIOS flash, so a Ryzen 1st/2nd gen will be needed.

I'd replace that R5 3600X with a non-X variant.

...yeah.......but once you pass a certain quality...you have 10 year old PSUs that the fans fail on(I have pets and carpet)....They are still good...but...you have to replace their fans....(these were 700w continuous 24/7 server/mining rigs)

so........price/perf beats out as long as your not getting a bad PSU

....what??????? the 5700xt compares with the 2070$uper in most games..... and completely dominates the 2060$uper at price/perf

Though yes...A motherboard with BIOS Flashback like the Tomahawk or the MSI A-Pro  will be much much much easier to update vs the op's aorus

why the non X variant? I was told the x had a faster clock speed

Microcenter is where I go for cpu/mobo combos. they have amazing deals, sometimes RAM, and sales. I usually get my HDD from them as well to avoid shipping. and to recieve the best customer service you can have.

 

a 5700 will be good, the 5700xt I think is better..make sure to not get a blower cooler...and I would avoid the evoke from MSI(GamersNexus didn't like their memory chip cooling.)

 

Cool that you can update BIOS I would look at your local microcenter motherboards with this link in mind. https://i.redd.it/58am663beh931.png

if you can OC then the 3600 is generally a better price/perf because it will be extremely close to the 3600x if you OC it. though the 3600x does have a very very small benefit  of being binned...so can ''''generally speaking''' clock slightly better than the 3600.... but they are EXTREMELY close in performance if you can OC the 3600

 

I would personally save the money and choose a 3600.... but for my friends...I generally recommend the 3600x.

R5700 XT is closest compared to the 2070 Super and it's close to $150 less in most cases

https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-RTX-2070-Super-vs-AMD-RX-5700-XT/4048vs4045

 

I would throw in a few high cfm case fans as I have heard the R5700 XT's run hot (especially being they have a 1 fan blower cooler on them) at least until the AIB cards fully come out.
