Looking for recommendations

[Koralai]

Hey everyone,

 

I'm doing a complete rebuild to upgrade my old rig from FX 8120 Black. I'm thinking of going with a Ryzen 2700x on an ASRock X470 Master. Here is my PC Parts Picker list.

CPU			AMD Ryzen 7 2700X 3.7 GHz 8-Core Processor
Motherboard			ASRock X470 Master SLI/AC ATX AM4 Motherboard
Memory			Team T-Force Delta RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory
Storage			Team L5 LITE 3D 480 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Power Supply			Thermaltake Smart Pro RGB 750 W 80+ Bronze Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
Case Fan			Deepcool RF 120 (3 in 1) 56.5 CFM 120 mm Fans

What graphics card, or alterations, would you nice folks recommend to go in this rig assuming mixed workload, including gaming and media creation. I do like the "Bling" of the RGB so I would like the option if available, though it's not a deal breaker.

 

Thanks everyone for your input.

What's the total budget and country? If you're mostly gaming you don't need 32Gbs of RAM. Would suggest a better SSD, and power supply maybe.

Looks pretty good to me, though I think you may want to get 2x8Gb ram (for 16 total) instead of 32gb. You could use the savings from that to get a WD Blue 1tb.

I'm in Canada. I will be using for mostly gaming, but i do some CG rendering and am looking at taking courses in Graphic Design and Game Design. I'd like to keep under the $1200 mark, if I can.

target resolution & fps?

1080p 60hz  mid~ high >rx 570

1080p 60hz  ultra > gtx 1660/ti

anything higher rx5700xt

 

i personally like msi gaming x for its look

I'll recommend a R5 3600 over a 2700x. And for the gpu I'll recommend a 5700/xt

i'm assuming you're using your old case since you didn't add one in.

You probably want a card with more VRAM depending on what software you're using

To get higher than the 8GBs offered on most consumer cards you'll have to get a used Vega Frontier Edition GPU, or a used 1080ti, the 1080ti is faster but appears to be more expensive on average
