You should wait until October for the RTX 3070. Early benchmarks are showing that Nvidia was telling the truth when they said it'll be equivalent to the RTX 2080Ti, and it's very well priced. You might have to fight to grab one at launch, but if you can get your hands on one, it's going to be a great upgrade.

Main PC:

AMD Ryzen 7 5800X • Noctua NH-D15 • MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk • 2x8GB G.skill Trident Z Neo 3600MHz CL16 • MSI VENTUS 3X GeForce RTX 3070 OC • Samsung 970 Evo 1TB • Samsung 860 Evo 1TB • Cosair iCUE 465X RGB • Corsair RMx 750W (White)

 

Peripherals/Other:

ASUS VG27AQ • G PRO K/DA • G502 Hero K/DA • G733 K/DA • G840 K/DA • Oculus Quest 2 • Nintendo Switch (Rev. 2)

 

Laptop (Dell XPS 13):

Intel Core i7-1195G7 • Intel Iris Xe Graphics • 16GB LPDDR4x 4267MHz • 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD • 13.4" OLED 3.5K InfinityEdge Display (3456x2160, 400nit, touch). 

 

Got any questions about my system or peripherals? Feel free to tag me (@bellabichon) and I'll be happy to give you my two cents. 

 

PSA: Posting a PCPartPicker list with no explanation isn't helpful for first-time builders :)

Just wait a bit longer till the rtx 3000 series launches in a week or 2. Then look at reviews. IF what nvidia said is true a 3070 would do nicely.

sorry guys but forgot to tell you that i have no plans for RTX 3000s right now, im thinking of RTX 2000s bcoz of the price drop... but i dont have that enough knowledge to figure it out which RTX 2000s is better for R5 2600 OCed @4Ghz without bottlenecking.

thanks to both of you for the response

The new prices won't drop. Maybe like 25$ but that is it. Used prices sure may be good but the target is still a 3070 at 500$. If a used 2080ti is 500$ skip it and get a 3070. If it's far lower then it's a good deal. It's only 12 days till launch anyways.

 

You got a budget? You say unlimited yet you aren't willing to spend much it seems.

No? You'll be fine with a 2600. No reason to get a last gen worse product for the same price as a better current gen one. Sure you will not get 100% of performance only 90% or so but that is still a lot better than what you would get if lets say you want to spend 500 on a gpu right now. Best you can get is a 2070super which would be far behind a 3070 if performing as promised AND your 2600 will show the difference in games between the 2 cards quite clearly.

 

As for the 90% of fps you get. Turn up the settings even more you'll stay at the same more than good enough framerate but can turn up the settings without a dip in fps due to the slight overhead of the cpu.
