Upgrading my PC

Go to solution Solved by brob,

The cup cooler is overkill, but it should look good. Otherwise the choices seem reasonable.

Hi,

 

I want to upgrade my gaming PC, exchanging the Motherboard, CPU and GPU.

 

This is the PC part picker list of what I selected: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/QfMgwh

 

My current CPU is an Intel so this is the first AMD build for me. I selected the 3700X over the 3800X due to the price difference.

 

I always have a hard time to select a motherboard, as I don't really know what to look for. I want two x16 and at least one (better 2) M.2 Slots.

 

Do you think the parts I selected are good or do you have any suggestions for improvement?

 

Thanks for your suggestions!

Your selection is pretty good, but an alternative MOBO I'd recommend is the ASUS TUF-X570 Plus. And the 2080S is only worth it I feel you're gaming at 1440p 144Hz or at 4K 60Hz. 

Cheers man ;)

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X | Motherboard: ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Formula | GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6900XT | RAM: 2*16GB 3200MHz 14-14-14-34 G.Skill Trident Z Royal Silver | SSD: 2TB Gigabyte Aorus Gen 4; 500GB Samsung 860 EVO | CPU Cooler: Corsair H115i RGB Platinum | PSU: Corsair AX850 | Case: Corsair Crystal 680X | Monitor: Eve Spectrum 4K | Keyboard: Logitech G513 Romer-G Tactile | Mouse: Logitech G502 Lightspeed
