New SFF build

[Ryan Ras]

Hi all,

 

I am planning on building a new desktop and wanted to run the system by this forum before black Friday/cyber monday which is when I'm planning on buying everything. 

 

I am in the US and my budget is around $2200 without case or OS. I want to build in the Louqe Ghost S1 and that isnt in any of my price lists or included in the budget above.

 

I will be using this computer primarily for gaming and then everyday stuff. I play most game types, anything from Froza, WoW, Warframe, Civ, The Division, Rainbow Six Siege.

 

I want to move to an ultrawide monitor, preferably a 34in, I currently have a 24in 1440p G sync display that I might keep as a second monitor or could hold off on a new monitor if anyone knows of stuff coming out soon.

 

I dont need any peripherals.

 

Here are three different lists I came up with on PC Part Picker. Ignore the case selection, I just put it there as a placeholder. 

 

3600X & 5700XT

3600X & 2070 Super

9600K & 2070 Super

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Ryan10/saved/#view=wtGtpg

 

I'm posting this from my phone so if those links dont work please let me know and I'll fix them tonight. 

 

I'm a little conflicted on the graphics card and monitor situation as the LG monitor is 150 more than the Dell which let's me get a 2070 over the 5700XT but I'm hoping the monitor will outlast my GPU by a long shot so I dont know how I feel about locking myself into G sync. 

 

Would appreciate any feedback and suggestions here e.g. do I need a 3600X or will a 3600 be just as good etc.

The R5 3600 + 3600mhz CL16 RAM should be plenty of CPU horsepower.

 

The RX 5700 is also likely good enough, will also use less power and be easier to cool compared to the XT. The Sapphire pulse even has a 120W bios.

But is the silverstone SG13 really too big? because it's going to be easier to work with and have potentially better cooling than those custom super small form factor cases.

That B450 board might need a bios update

 

pretty good ultrawides are only like $400, not sure why that one is $800, wouldn't really bother HDR on PC still

You think the 5700 will push 100 plus fps at 3440x1440? I haven't seen any benchmarks that support that.

 

Also, what's your opinion on the VA panels vs the IPS ones. I definitely want a good cinematic gaming experience.
