I've got a friend who is planning to build a new rig and is asking me for advice. I figured I'd come here for some additional opinions. The budget is in the 2000 euro range(Buying in Latvia) and she intends to use it for a lot of different games, from recent Triple A titles to MMOs, so not really anything specific.

Here is the rig she has selected so far:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
CPU Cooler: Be Quiet! Pure Rock BK009
GPU: EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 XC Ultra Gaming 8GB
MB: Asus ROG Strix X570-F Gaming
PSU: Corsair RM750i PSU 750W ATX 2.4 CP-9020082-EU
RAM: 1 x Corsair Vengeance LPX Black 32GB 3000MHz CL16 DDR4
SSD: Samsung 860 EVO 1TB (She will be using additional storage from her old rig, so no more needed)

That totals for 1908 euros new unused parts from a local parts store. Currently the remaining 92 euros would be used for the case.

So, I'm thinking that probably it would be better to go with 2 x 16gb ram for dual channel memory. The rest seems pretty good to me, although as I said I am here to see what you guys think about possible alternatives to some of the parts, so if you have some ideas where money could be saved without losing performance or where performance could be increased at the same or similar price, please do say! Thank you for any responses!

CPU: Ryzen 7 3700X

CPU Cooler: be quiet! Pure Rock

GPU: Gigabyte RTX 2070 Super Windforce OC 3X

Motherboard: MSI B450 GAMING PLUS MAX

RAM: 4x8GB (32GB) Kingston HyperX Fury Black RGB 3200MHz

PSU: BitFenix Whisper M 650W

Case: NZXT H440

SSD: 500GB Samsung 850 EVO (Boot Drive); 1TB Samsung 970 EVO (Primary Game Drive). 1,5TB total SSD storage.

HDD: 3TB Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM; 4TB Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM. 7TB total HDD storage.

16GB of RAM is more than enough for gaming. So we saved money there to put a Gen4 m.2 SSD which is more faster compared to normal NVME SSDs.

A Gen 4 SSD is a total waste of money, especially for a gaming pc.
