My first Gaming Rig

thebman

Budget (including currency): 2000 max would prefer around 1500-1600 so I can buy a VR headset with it

Country: US

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming, Potential Streaming

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.): 

I am local to a Micro Center (About 1 hour away), so I can go there. I have this build right now Here. I would need a pad, mouse, and Monitor as I already have a keyboard. I would be buying at the end of the summer, late august-early September, so I will also be looking at the big Navi Gpu's and Nvidia 3000. I would prefer to play high refresh 1080 (165hz and up) over 1440 144hz

If you're not planning on getting the 3700x or 2070, why even have them in there?

I'd try and get a 1TB SSD, and then get the HDD when you have more money.

I had them in there as a baseline of what I have seen as a good streaming and gaming Pc now. I will compare them if there are new releases announced before I buy them.

Not Watts, reliability. Try looking at the psu tier list. I don’t have the link, so just search it up. The thermaltake smart units aren’t very high
