It's the same architecture as what's being used in the next gen consoles so you will have much better price to performance. I need a computer not only for games but for school stuff aswell, my laptop has served me well over the years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 6, 2020 14 minutes ago, marco_polo7742 said: Will they run the games im gonna run? They will definitely run those games well. You should look at the build @Mateyyy posted but instead of a 2070 super get a 5700xt. Even the ones with good coolers like the 5700xt gaming oc are over 100 less. They have slightly lower performance, no raytracing, and dont have nvec encoding but they have a much better price to performance (and should still run the games you want at 144fps). If you do get the 2070 super get it sooner than later as they just stopped manufacturing them so they will soon go out of stock and raise in price even more. It will be about 150 under budget so you can either save that money, get a 3700x, or the best thing would be to add more storage. Either another 1tb ssd or 2-4tb hdd.
