Hey, so I am planning to build my first gaming rig, and it will play games on ultrawide 3440x1440 resolution (or 2560x1080 on a 3440x1440 display, I dont really mind the blur since I am used to playing the ps3 on a 4k tv) My system will maybe have the rx 5700 or rtx 2070 ( 2070 super if there's a good deal) but my budget is limited to 1500$ including the screen, which is 600$.at cpu may p So my cpu choice may be cut back. I plan to use the ryzen 3 2300x 4c/4t 3.5 to 4.0ghz cpu and maybe some overclock cuz i'll buy the rog strix b450f gaming. I wonder if that cpu pairs well with the 2070 since I believe the cpu wont be a problem in higher res gaming. I can also buy the yzen 5 3500/2600 with the 2060 for the same price. In your opinion, what should I buy?

I would go for 3rd gen ryzen (try to stretch for the 3600 as it has some of the best bang for buck). All of this depends on your location and currency.

the 3600 is like 230$ in my country. I'd go for the 3500 if i had to for around 140$

Thats a huge difference. Go for the 3500. If its 3rd gen ryzen its good. I didn't know its that cheap because I can't find the price online

What do you mean by $20 for each part? Yeah, it'd be great if the 1600AF was avaliable in every other country, so far I only know you can get it in the US, Canada and the UK :(

It was defo available somewhere in Ozzyland at least a while ago, can't remember who it was that said it and which store had it though.

I meant that if something is 140$ in the us, it's around 160-170 in vietnam
