Hey Guys,

 

Almost there with my build and I think have most things sorted out and ready to order.

Ill have the current build plan below but if you do have any suggestions for the current build please feel free to give suggestions.

 

The first thing is the graphics card:

I've been trying to decide between the RTX 2070 Super and the RX 5700 XT

If anyone can give any advice on which to get would be brilliant.

 

Second thing is the CPU Cooler:

I cant decide whether to get a fan or water cooling and have a few worries about both.

Ill be moving the PC a few times of year over and back to college from home and have been told having a chunky fan could cause a bit of stress but also worried about the water cooling being any way faulty and being left with a smoking mess.

If anyone has advice on which to get it would be perfect.

 

Location: Ireland

Currency: €

Budget: €1500

Either card is fine, get the 5700XT if you want to save money and get less performance that's enough for 1080p.  2070S if you need more oomph.

If you're reasonably careful with your PC when moving it, any air cooler will be fine. Doesn't have to be an AIO for moving.
