Thoughts about this build

[ThomasJ]

Hi! I want to build my second PC with SUPER COOL PARTS that does not ruin my wallet... I want your thoughts of it and if there is a way to improve it without surpassing my 1500 budget.. 

 

these are the parts that I want to use:

Motherboard: Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS (WI-FI)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3200 C16 2x8GB
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600X
GPU: Nvidia RTX 2070S (Super)
SSD: Samsung 970 Evo Plus NVMe PCIe M.2 250GB
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 3TB (2016)

 

according to userbenchamark site this build will be out of this world, but as a noob in this hobby I like second opinions..

only use this for VERY rough comparisons of GPUs. for most other things it is quite useless or otherwise straightly missleading.

If there is no specific reason for getting the 970evo I would personally go with a crucial p1. You can get like twice the storage for less money.

few things:

• which region are you buying from? prices vary on location.
  • also preferred stores? amazon, newegg, ebay, etc
  • also also how flexible are you on your budget? (i.e. are you wanting to maximise $1500, or you're looking to save a couple if not needed, or you're okay with $1600)
• what is your use case? specific programs, games, etc
• will you be using this build for editing work? if so you're justified with the 970 Evo, otherwise for just OS and games you'd do fine with a SATA SSD. even if you'd be needing to do work at a later period of time, buying the NVMe stick by then would cover that (also the merits of working on an NVMe stick that's not carrying the OS).

I'm from Central America and I was going to use either Amazon or eBay to buy the parts, for the case and the power supply I'm going to use a local market so the price won't get too high.. I will use this computer for games and work (Discord, Office, Steam, very basic stuff at the beginning) I won't do editing nor I won't need editing programs. 

 

1500$ is my max...

 

in my first build I did use a SATA SSD, I will stick with that now that the NVMe its not necessary, thanks for the link it was very helpful!!
