Or can you guys suggest other alternatives for the mobo or something

Also want a build that can upgrade from 2-5 years time.

If you're rendering videos, don't get intel.

 

Infact, just don't go intel at all. Also you can get a 1TB M.2 SSD for cheaper.

 

I'd recommend this every time.

That is also a really nice deal on the above EVGA 2080 Super.

The reason behind rendering videos is because I'm planning on building a youtube channel that benchmarks games.. So Intel is really a no?

I also saw WD Digital Blue 1TB NVME2. Or ADATA is better? 

Regarding the Case I also want the cheapest one so..

Intel has been surpassed by AMD this year, and IMHO are getting slaughtered in the CPU game. The 9700k is only 8c/8t, while the 3700x is 8c/16t. I think it's a no brainer across the board, but if you plan on doing any rendering/workstation type work, then without a doubt I'd recommend Ryzen.

 

You could probably get a WD Blue and not have issues with it, I personally have no experience with their NVME SSDs. I can say that I have the ADATA I linked and it's fantastic.

Will take note of that. About the video card, we dont have EVGA here. So the available and cheapest vga are the ff:

Zotac RTX 2080 AMP ZT-T20800D-10P

Zotac RTX 2080 Blower ZT-T20800A-10P

Zotac RTX 2080 Super AMP! 8gb ZT-T20820D-10P 

Zotac RTX 2080 Twin Fan ZT-T20800F-10P

Gigabyte Aorus RTX 2080 SUPER 11GB (GV-N208SAORUS-8GC)  

Gigabyte RTX 2080 Super Gaming OC 8GB (GV-N208SGAMING-OC-8GC)

What panel(s) will you plug in that RTX 2080?
At what resolution will you record?

Will you stream ?
Will you archive your footage?

Ok well it depends on your budget and price. The Aorus model is obviously the best, but if you can't afford it I would go with the Gigabyte Gaming model. I've never used Zotac, and IMO they're not as reputable. I also would strongly recommend against a blower cooler. They just don't perform nearly as well, and they're loud as a motherfucker.

-Probably nothing

-1080p since my monitor only supports 1080p (OPTIX MAG241C)

-I'm still thinking about it since I'm not that talkative lol

-Archive meaning save them in my HDD? Probably not, I might delete them after uploading them to YT.

I forgot about this one. So I should change the one you recommended?

PALIT RTX 2080 SUPER GAMING PRO OC 8GB

PALIT RTX 2080 SUPER GAMING PRO OC 8GB

 

 

I'd put palit in the same catagory as Zotac, if not lower. I've never really seen anyone buy their GPU's personally.

The only companies I would feel comfortable buying from without some good info to sway me otherwise is, Asus, Evga, Gigabyte, and MSI.

 

 

Also for future reference, buy the question "what panels" are you plugging into your 2080S, he meant monitors. Also, if you're only driving 1080p, and not planning on upgrading to 1440p, I would honestly say you'll probably get way better value out of a 2070S or a 5700XT.

OH I didnt know lol. I will also take that into my consideration. Thank you so much!

Just wondering, If I step up to Ryzen 9 3900X, would that do any better? (Since I do a lot of Alt tab - Youtube - Discord) at the same time

Not really. You have more then enough core to stream with a 3700X.

Your gains will be better rendering speeds (almost double), higher bench scores (especially in cinebench) and slightly faster loading times if you load games from an SSD.  The main appeal are the higher clock speeds and the 8 cores. So If you do a lot of renders then yeah go for it, otherwise it's a lot of dough for little practical gains.

Absolutely not.

 

If you have lots of things running (i.e. a game, internet, discord, steam, etc, etc), you will benefit more from having more RAM than a 3900x, granted, 16GB is enough for that.

 

A 3900x is an enthusiast/workstation processor, and you will never use that chip to it's full capacity. A 3700x is more than enough, and even something like a 3600(x) would have zero issues with some tabs/discord open in the back.

 

Procs like the 3900x are designed for workstations/heavy content creation. I would only suggest it if your budget was significantly higher, and you were very serious about content creation, and did lots of editing, streaming, multithread workloads, etc.

Hello again guys, so unfortunately these are the parts that I bought because the recommended parts that you gave me was not available

What do you guys think? ALSO is it really necessary to use an AVR? I have no budget to buy an avr right now im not sure if my old avr can handle this computer.

Overall it looks decent. I would have gotten the SX8200 Pro instead, as the read/write speeds are like double.

 

But it should kill everything regardless.
