Need help with PC component selection

dharma_ · September 8, 2020

Budget (including currency): 65 000 CZK (2 891,50 USD)

Country: Czech republic

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: All the newest games (I do not plan to stream or, edit videos etc., just gaming)

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 do not have a PC so I will be buying everything new. Peripherals not needed. I have to play games on my MacBook Pro (please help). I ideally want to play at 1440p 144Hz refresh rate. I am planning to buy Samsung Odyssey G7 32". Also this will be super overkill build as I understand it as a hobby not that I need the cheapest best build for gaming. I will be doing overclocking on this machine. Just want to play with it, see how much I can do. I am aiming for "as fast as possible" PC.

I already thought of my build so I need a conformation and some good advice as well. It is sad that in Czech republic are all the components much much more expensive then in US (but I get it). So the budget is really just there but it is flexible. Also I can wait! I do not need to buy the rig right now. So if I should wait with any of the components, let me know.

Here is my dream build:

MOBO: MSI MAG X570 Tomahawk WiFi
- I do not really need WiFi but it is available only with Wifi, I want PCIe 4.gen (graphics card), NVMe 4.gen (system NVMe), NVMe 3.gen (as a cache for HDD), AM4 socket, 4 DIMMs DDR4. I will be doing overclocking.
Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 3700x or AMD Ryzen 9 3900x or AMD Ryzen 7 3800XT
- I am leaning towards 3700x as the performance is not as different as a price between 3700x and the other ones. But I am not sure. Also I do not know if I should wait until 4000 series announcement. Maybe something from 4000 will be better at performance then 3000 series?
Graphics card: Nvidia 3070 or 3080 or new unreleased Radeons
- I have to wait with this one. Until then I will use friends old Radeon graphics.
RAM: G.Skill Trident Z Neo DIMM 16 GB DDR4-3600 Kit [F4-3600C16D-16GTZN]
- I wanted RAM with CL14 but it is not available anywhere so CL16 it is instead. I am just wondering if the Ryzen 3000 series (or 4000) will be able to handle 4 DIMMs of 3600Mhz CL16 memory (total of 32GB)? If not I can always clock it down
System NVMe: Seagate FireCuda 520 500GB SSD
Cache NVMe: SAMSUNG 970 EVO Plus 500GB
HDD: Seagate Ironwolf Pro 4T NAS (already bought)
AIO: Fractal Design Celsius+ S36 Prisma
- need that RGB for faster PC (or to nicely light up my case)
Fans: Noctua NF-A14 PWM chromax black swap
- 4 or 5 of them
Case: Fractal Design Meshify S2 TG Black (already bought)
PSU: Corsair HX850 or Corsair HX1000i
- I am not sure what will be enough power
