Ya that's pretty much it lol.

 

Get a $40 Deepcool Neptwin, cheapest 6 heatpipe dual tower cooler, or a scythe fuma 2 at $59
 

maybe grab a 3600mhz CL16 DDR4 kit now in preparation for Ryzen 4000 next year if you happen to want more CPU cores, can always mess with overclocking it on the 7700K too, as it can still help CPU performance.

I would either get the Sapphire Pulse RX 5700 for $359, or get the Nitro+ for $449 if you just want a top end silent card.

 

You can overclock or flash the bios on the non XT card, to get 95% the same performance as the XT card. It's what I'm running.

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?
