First Rig Suggestions

[JustAGamer325]

Budget: £2000

Country: Bulgaria

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: competitive(cs:go, fortnite, overwatch) and casual(minecraft, GTA V)

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

Mobo: Msi B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC (bluetooth is nice because I also use controller for a lot of games) but right now It's unavalable on amazon.co.uk so plan B is Asus ROG Strix B450-F Gaming + a bluetooth dongle

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X

CPU Cooler: BeQuiet! Dark Rock 4

RAM: Crucial Ballistix RGB 16GB 3600mhz cl16

GPU: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2070 Super Windforce OC 3X 8G

SSD: Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500GB M.2

HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5 inch

PSU: Corsair VS650 650w 80+ (non-modular psu because I will use sleeved extensions anyway)

Case: Cooler Master TD500 mesh white (3 included front ARGB fans. I will also buy a BeQuiet! 120mm Fan Pure Wings 2 PWM)

Mosue: Glorious model O matte white

Keyboard: HperX Alooy Origins Core (plus a wrist wrest, bought seperate)

Monitor: LG 27GL850 144Hz 1ms IPS

 

Others: XL Corsair Mouse Pad and a headphone splitter (due to the fact I have a headset and the case has two seperate ports)

 

Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Pretty sure everything is compatible except the msi board - the msi website says it can only handle memory with upto 3446mhz though I did some research and saw that lots of people said its fine. Still not 100% sure tbh (something might be unstable and what not)

I mean, that system is kind of overkill, but if you have 2000$ to spend on your PC. That would work for mostly any workload. In my opinion, I'd go for a NZXT CPU Cooler if you have a big budget, they look cooler and perform better.

Thanks! Though I can't find any good PSUs right now (on amazon.co.uk or any of the bulgarian shops) I will wait a bit longer for a wider choice. Yes, the system IS pretty overkill but I was going for a PC that has better hardware so it can last a longer time before I need to change any parts and has a pretty good performance.

Any Corsair or EVGA PSU that is like 550w+ and 80+ rated is fine. You can prob snag a good one for like 70-100 bucks.

Get rid of the shitty VS and get a RMx/BeQuiet equivalent.

For gaming  I'd buy SATA3 1TB Crucial MX500 instead.

Can't really spend like £90 on a power supply (I've pretty much topped my budget) is an EVGA 600w fine? Again, I really dont need a modluar one as i have exensions. Or do you think I should  try and cheap out something else?

not every 80+ is fine. EVGA has some really shitty 80+ psus. check this tier list and see where different models are: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1116640-psucultists-psu-tier-list/

The shitty Evga PSUs aren't 100$, if he has a big budget he'll go for a nicer PSU.

you have a 2000 pound/euro/whatever budget, you have the money to spend extra on a better PSU. it's the one item that can completely destroy your rig if a crappy one stops working, the last thing you should do is cheap out on it.

I will try and get a corsair RM650X PSU though rn on amazon every unit is overpriced becuase there is a shortage of PSUs and everything is overpriced in Bulgaria anyway (I don't want to spend 150£ on a PSU that's worth more like 100. I might have a big budget but I dont want to spend unnecessary money) I'll wait and see if amazon restocks soon and sqeeze it in. Thanks for the suggestion!

You already spent 2k$ on the whole PC, and then remembered that you need a PSU too ? If you can't get appropriate PSU for this build then save up and wait until you'll be able to afford to buy a decent PSU. Because running RTX2070 Super and R7 3700X on group regulated PSU is a recipe for big disappointment, if not disaster.

Check the tier list, that's what we made it for.

PSU quality doesn't correlate with it's efficiency rating and price. And while Corsair has pretty much only VS and CV lineups among bad ones, EVGA has a half of their lineup consisting of bad to meh stuff, you'll have better change picking garbage than a good one if you don't know better.

550 watts will power basically any gaming pc, an RTX 2070 and 8 core Ryzen CPU fit very easily into that power budget.
