Hello hello!

 


Just wanted to ask for advice on this. I have a base line of the parts, but I want to ask you guys if there are better parts (especially on the parts with unnecessary bells and whistles)

 

He mainly wants to play 1080-1440p at 120hz. Doesn't care about aesthetics at all. Best price to performance. The cheaper the better. 1200$-1500$CAD Budget

 

Black Friday soon, the plus and minus of prices would change, but getting a general idea on pricing still remains the priority. If a part gets cheaper nice.

Best price to performance is AMD a.t.m. a.f.a.i.k.

I did a quick change over to AMD, saves a couple dimes, but im not 100% sure about that motherboard.
Let's hope someone chimes in. :)

true enough because some people love to play chess that comes with the windows o/s, while others love to play triple a games on ultra high settings, i prefer indie games, think 1990's mario bros kind of graphics

Touché, and sorry if I made the question seem less important btw. Still a good thing to know when advising Pc parts. :)

So RX 5700 XT or a 2070 Super?

Both are good choices for 1440P gaming. It all boils down to your budget and preference, though the 2070 Super has a slight advantage.
