Pretty good parts list. You could save some money on the gpu though by going with a 5700XT like the Gigabyte Gaming OC.

i think the nvidia one outperforms this one and since im gonna mostly game, ill stay with 2070s. any tips on other monitors? should i perhaps go for a 2k 7hz monitor?

oh really? even after long sessions? ill probably be on computer, due to also working for home, mostly all day.

oh yes absolutely, it can even support 4k, but with my budget i can go either 1080p 144hz or 2k 75hz. chepeast 2k 144hz is 330+. thats out of my budget for now.

 im mostly a single player type of gamer. you know rpgs, action, shooters, racing etc

The 2070S is a bit faster depending on the game, but it usually costs around 100 Euros more.

Best to start your own thread instead of posting in here, as it just keeps things easier that way. You should also state your budget/location and whether you own any parts from that list.

yes. although I prefer 27" over 32"

 

last question, do you recommend any particular RGB extra fan? for the back of my case as an exhaust since the case has already 3 RGB ones on the front. thanks for all the tips mate

Do you really need a 4 tb hard disk? I think the $ would be better spend somewhere else. Also, I think you might need a 650 watt psu, givin you have a RTX 2070 super in there.

You downgraded the cooler, and halved the storage. No idea why you would choose the Wraith MAX in the first place. The case is also a lot worse than the one in the op's list. The Asus board is better, but it is going to cost more than the MSI one.

exactly my thoughts. the monitor isnt even available here. the mobo looks good, but its around 230euros here. the only thing i might change in my build is storage, maybe get an nvme or 1tb crucial depending on the prices the day i order and maybe if the budget allows it, i get a 650 psu
