I would like to lower the price closer to 1k while not sacrificing a hefty amount of performance.

have you bought any of the parts?

[Ichhabekeinenase]

I would suggest Buying some fans and an RTX Card. I have made some bad experience with my rx 580 (Crashes Under 100 percent load like Furmark). Are you using the Stock cooler? And if you want to spend like 20 Dollar More just buy a 500 gb ssd and a 1 TB hdd if you need to reinstall Windows this will safe you from backing up 1 TB. Your Upgrade Path will be Memory and Storage in the first place.

What resolution would your friend be playing at, if they're mainly playing fortnite at 1080p maybe drop from the 5700 XT down to the 5700?

That would drop the price to about $1057 if you stay with the Red Devil 5700?

 

Edit: NEVER run Furmark.  That software is trash and all it does it damage cards.  It is an unrealistic load that will never happen under real world use.

Looks fine. I'd get a proper cooler and an Nvidia card.

definitely buying some arctis fans. 2 exhasut and 2 intake so neutral pressure. might get the 5700 and then go for the split 500 and 1tb storage u suggested

i think the stock cooler should work well, especially with 2 exhaust and 2 intake

I would pass on evga.  I have a evga 2060 super and the fans suck, try MSI or something if you're going nvidia.

It won't, it'll throttle.

The stock cooler isn't that good. It's better than Intel's stock cooler, but that doesn't make it good.

[Izineth]

The Ryzen stock cooler is way better than the intel ones but its still rubbish.

I don't think it will hard core throttle it won't boost as high as it would with aftermarket cooling.

And it will be loud AF.

 

I ran my 3700X on the stock cooler that came with it for a few days and it didn't throttle but it was loud, and didn't boost as high.

 

Edit: Also this generation of Ryzen behaves much differently than previous generations.  It has a high idle voltage which drops under load. 

It tends to get a bit spikey on temps because from what I've read it uses high voltage spikes to wake up sleeping cores.  This cause the CPU cooler to rev up and down and it gets annoying on the stock cooler.

what aftermarket coolers do you guys suggest ?

[Ichhabekeinenase]

It keeps crashing under every load and a rtx 2060 KO should work good. I suggest dont buy a AMD Card just my opinion. The Stock Cooler should be fine for 6 Cores but if you want a silent pc buy a tower cooler for like 20 bucks or something like that.

If you're looking for a budget friendly cooler maybe one of the Arctic coolers like the freezer 33 or freezer 34?

This should be fine for that cpu

I have a Vega 56 in my rig right now and I don't have any crashing problems except if I have a shitty overclock on it but that's my fault.  There isn't anything wrong with AMD cards at this point that I know of they fixed the shitty drivers with the 5xxx series cards as far as I am aware.

check this out. got an after market cooler and took some toll on the gpu. closer to the budget but i feel like it should perform adequately for 1080p
