Swap the overpriced cooler and get a 5700 XT, and downgrade your PSU a little bit, 700W isn't necessary for your build.

 

The cooler itself costs the same as the CPU, it's ridiculous.

Quote or Tag people so they know that you've replied.

Here's an example of a more balanced build for the money, you could go the other way around and keep the 2700X and go with an RTX 2070 Super, I could optimize it more but you would lose all that bling, it's personal preference I guess.

With that budget I would also highly suggest going with Ryzen 3000. What are you going to use this machine for? For gaming only you should look at the 3600. Please don't spend that much money on the CPU cooler Here's a build with Ryzen 3600, RTX 2070 Super and different CPU cooler. You could actually just use the stock cooler that comes with the 3600 - it'll do just fine. So there's another 50 bucks to be saved in this build.

Wouldn’t I want to stick with Radeon for freesync

@Vtx Dippy Most Freesync monitors are G-Sync compatible since early 2019. You can check the compatibility list on nvidia's homepage or use the search to find out if someone has experience with this particular monitor. 

The takeaway being: you are not strictly limited to g-sync monitors anymore

Edit: clarification

You can find the compatibility list here: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/products/g-sync-monitors/specs/

I don't see that monitor on there. Some people reported that it worked for them, others had issues with certain games. From what I can tell it's not guaranteed to work. There are plenty of monitors on the list you can check out or ask in the "Display" subsection of this forum.

Would g sync matter if I were to get a Radeon card

AMD cards work with FreeSync. Some of the FreeSync capable monitors are compatible with G-Sync, which means that Nvidia cards can use the FreeSync technology these monitors provide. With an Nvidia card you can therefore use either G-Sync with G-Sync monitors or FreeSync with FreeSync monitors. AMD cards can only make use of FreeSync.

The 2070 Super is somewhere around 5-10% faster than the 5700XT if I'm not mistaken (somewhere in that ballpark). You can either go with a 5700XT and stick to the monitor you had in mind - or go with the 2070 Super and find a different monitor that is G-Sync compatible, have that extra bit of performance and be able to use a G-Sync monitor in the future. It's really up to you here whether or not that price difference is worth it for you.

Thank you I think I’ll stick with my Radeon.
