I have around $1500 US to spend on a gaming rig. I already have a case (took a chance on the half priced ibuypower snowblind). Trying to go 2070 super. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm also trying to stay with a black and white theme as you do with a snowblind.

Do you need peripherals? (monitor, keyboard mouse, etc) and what games do you play?

Edit: Also do you need Wifi?

I'm looking to upgrade my monitor but I'm not including that in the price. I Have other peripherals. I play a little bit of everything, mainly fps and rpgs. Wifi would be a plus, but I can move my router.

I was hoping someone would try to shove one in there. Hopefully my tax return is a little more and I can pick up the 3700x.

(Sorry couldnt figure out how to make links work lol)

 

Dont know why no one else is sugesting DDR4 3600 it's the best speed for 3rd gen cpu

the m2 ssd is one of the fastest benchmarked m2 ssd

If you want RGB and dont have to have water cooling and have a decent size drive from old pc 

could get these rgb parts

this ram is about the $30 more same speed and timings but it's RGB lol https://www.newegg.com/thermaltake-ux100-argb-lighting-cl-p064-al12sw-a/p/N82E16835106593?Item=N82E16835106593
