New build

[JP8296]

Budget (including currency): 1300€

Country: Portugal

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Build a new rig for the next 5-7 years, AAA Games, Photoshop, Lightroom   

 

So, I was about to build a new pc on last December but due to some events a end up just buying a RTX 2070 super OC for my old rig. At the end of this month I will finally able to do a new build and put my 7 years old rig to a deserved rest.

I was thinking about something between this two, adding up the RTX 2070 (for now) and Seasonic Focus GX-650W 80+ Gold I already have:

16gb of ram may limit you a bit with photo editing, depending on the workload.

I would go with 32gb of ram if your planning on having this be a 5 plus year build. i come damn close to using up 16 with casual stuff so i imagine that 32gb would keep you good for a long time.

If you can wait, AMD will release their new Ryzen 4000 (Zen 3) CPUs at the end of the year. Also Nvidia gonna release their Ampere GPUs.

You are most certainly not going to want anything from our boys in blue in this day and age. You have yourself a great upgrade path with your 3900x, as AMD says 4th gen Desktop Ryzen will be supported on X570. Looks good to me, with a quick glance.

This will be my first build with team red, a always was a intel person, but seems difficult to justify an intel processor right now.

Possibly, it's not difficult to work on some 2gb plus files, so yeah it might be a good choice.

My RTX 2070S is 'only' 5 months old and is still a good enough card, a RTX 3000 series will be price af, the RTX 2000 are already not cheap, so I'm gona stick with it for a wile.

 

I'm also a little concern with the cooler, first time with AIO, I like Corsair, my mouse and keyboard are from Corsair, so I would be nice to control everything with ICUE, but I don't know if is better than the kraken x62 v2, also from wath I read, the CAM software it's not very good but the AIO seems to be very good.

Oh and i agree to wait till ryzen 4000 comes out.
