You have your PCPP set to USA, I highly recommend that you change it to Australia for Australian prices. US pricing is vastly cheaper than anywhere else.

 

And also I agree with @boggy77, Ryzen offers better value.

I am in agreement here as well. 

@boggy77 Australia prices are nearly a 1100 more...

Still waiting for a reply, I am guessing he is looking at a CyberPunk smooth 60+fps atm.

Definitely go Ryzen.

 

Also I'd say get a bigger SSD. Even if you only go up to 240GB which is barely a price increase, it's way worth it; 120GB will fit the OS and not too much else. What resolution and refresh rate is his monitor? I might even say step down to a 2070, ditch the hard drive (or keep it if he needs the space) and go for a 1TB SSD.

[B0yBlu3]

There you go @boggy77

[B0yBlu3]

I'll be getting a new monitor for sure, I'm still with my 1080p 60hz

Sorry He will, just copying and pasting convo, thanks all for the quick replies.

He REALLY should go Ryzen. A 3700X is better than the 9700K in almost every way possible. It runs cooler, uses less power, has more security, performs the same in games and much better in most other applications. Not to mention Ryzen has an upgrade path as there are a bunch more CPUs coming out soon so he'll be able to upgrade to a 16 core 4950X later whereas 1151 is a dead socket

[B0yBlu3]

Reckon just go big on a NVMe SSD for both the OS & games? Or have like a 250GB NVMe SSD & then just a SATA SSD 1TB?

[B0yBlu3]

Thank you so much all. Much love.

[B0yBlu3]

Talked to my mate, will probs just have the only storage device and opt for a 1TB NVMe SSD...

Sorry for the copy, paste spam. Much appreciated guys and gals.

You can get away with a cheaper cooler such as an Arctic Freezer 34 esports duo.

 

A 5700XT is better value for money. Just get a good one like the Gigabyte Gaming OC, MSI Gaming X, Sapphire Red Devil or Sapphire Nitro etc.

 

A B450 motherboard is another place to save money. You have the MSI B450 Gaming Carbon AC which has wifi onboard, or you could go with an MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX and an adapter depending on the price difference.

 

Samsung SSD's are overpriced. You could get something like a Western Digital SN550 1TB or Crucial P1 1TB if this is just a gaming pc.
