Black Friday build

I have been waiting for Black Friday deals to do a PC build. So far there are only few deals that seem good.

 

Some background:

The PC will be used for gaming and work. Some photo editing and video editting. Will be used with single 1080p 144hz monitor. 

Location: UK

 

Budget: 700£ max

 

I can't decide between Intel and AMD build.

I found a good deal on RX 5700 < 300£ + free Borderlands 3. Do you think it's worth it over RTX 2060 if same price?

Do you think it's worth spending extra 80£ to get RX 5700 or RTX 2060 instead of GTX 1660 super?

 

Initial setup:

MOBO: ASRock B450M Pro4 / ASRock B365M Pro4

CPU: Ryzen 5 2600 / i5-9400f

GPU: RTX 2060 / GTX 1660 Super / RX 5700

RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance 3000Mhz

SSD: ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro 512GB

PSU: Corsair TXM Gold 650W

 

Here are the two builds:

Intel

Ryzen

 

Any comments?

you can also go for the 550W version of the same psu. 5700 is better than 2060, being on par with 2060 super or 2070. depending on your budget and on what frames you want/expect, you should choose between 1660super and 5700.

This board has QC/reliability issues.

Why do you recommend a PSU of unknown quality? Last time i checked that one wasnt great. And even if it was, there is no testing to actually show that it is. 

 

Avoid PSUs of unknown quality, especially with that cheap of a pricetag
