Are you using the 2070 as a stand in for a 3070?

[SomeIdiot563]

I guess so cause I probably won’t be getting any parts until around when the 3070 releases. If I decide to go with the 3070 is everything else ok?

Thanks so much for the help, I’ll definitely consider this list

If you just game I'd consider getting rid of the HDD and just go for a 1 TB SSD. Most games these days expect you to have an SSD so the times when people only had Windows and 1-2 games on their SSD and everything else on the HDD are over.

Depends if you need the space but gaming on an SSD is pretty essential these days.
