yeah, I fixed it in the last one. oversight on my part

It is but human, to err, to buy a PSU, akin to dirt,

but fret not, young Padawan, for we will tell you, 

what will become, of that, which you have earned

Are you sure you want to spend that much on a gpu now? The value drop could be horrible in 2-5 months after the new lineups come out from both companies. I would get a cheap place holder(2060/5600xt) and sell it the minute new ones are out.

ehrm, no, not really. What you can do, however, is get some 3200 CL16 cheapo kit

do you reckon itll be worth getting a 2070s for now and upgrading to a 2080s or better later on?

nvidia will launch the 3000 series of gpus this autumn, they should be a significant improvement.

if you think of getting one of those, I'd get a 2060 super for now and replace it with the 3000 series in a few months.

  • I'd rather get a 2070 super then anything. I'd want something that can run modern Warfare well. 
  • all the 10600K's are sold out and its the best 10th gen i5 I can find.
  • the motherboard is the cheapest i can find that has wifi that seems decent
  • i changed the ram to 3200mhz
  • I'd rather not wait for the 3000 series as well. i can't be bothered to wait, who knows when those will come out.
  • The 3060 will be more powerful than the 2070 Super, if you turn on RTX, considerably more powerful.
  • So get something else. Why are you going with lowered performance? I thought you wanted MW to run well.
  • You can add WiFi via an add in card to any motherboard.
  • It's not a guessing game. It's coming out in a couple of months. Buying a 2070 Super makes no sense right now.

You were a bit too late to the conversation mate. Already bought the PC, just waiting on a few more parts
