Feedback on build

[Midnightghost_]

Budget (including currency): $2000 CAD

Country: Canada

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Red Dead Redemption 2, Cyberpunk 2077, Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War, and other future AAA titles. This will be used solely for 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'm looking to play at 1080p 144Hz. I currently have a GP62M 7RDX MSI Laptop and will be buying all of the parts listed below to build a desktop from scratch. I'm planning on having all of the parts bought and in hand by Christmas, as a nice present for myself. This will also be my first PC build, so please let me know if there are any issues with the parts I chose or if there are better alternatives. Note that on the link, the only item that is not included on the build is the RTX 3070 just because it hasn't been released yet, but I do plan on getting it when I have the chance.

CPU: Ryzen 7 3700X

Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX B550-A

RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB DDR4 3200

Video Card: RTX 3070

Case: Corsair 275R Airflow

Power Supply: EVGA 700 80 Plus Gold 700W (will this be enough power for the build?)

Storage: 500GB SSD, 2TB HDD

 

Would the parts listed above help me achieve my goal of 1080p 144Hz in the majority of games now and in the foreseeable future? I'm looking for a build that will get me the most out of each part (i.e. no bottlenecking) without overclocking (which I am not sure how to do and am worried about trying and possibly breaking something). I appreciate any feedback/recommendations.

Ryzen 5000 series (Zen 3)'s just officially announced with global availability next month, since you're waiting for the graphics card anyway you might as well hold back for the CPU as well

 

which means the whole build btw

This can easily play 1440p at over 144fps, and 4k at over 60. A 1440p monitor would do this build much more justice.

The build looks great, just maybe swap the power supply to something like this: SeaSonic FOCUS Gold 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply

Also, about an hour ago, AMD announced their new 5000 series chips so I would wait until they release (November 4th) to build.

The new Ryzen 5 5600x is $299 USD (around $400 CAD) and the Ryzen 7 3800x is $449 USD (about $600 CAD)

Out of the two CPUs you mentioned, the Ryzen 5 5600x and Ryzen 7 3800x, is there one that would be better suited for my build than the other? I'm mainly thinking about the number of CPU cores and if it would be worth having more cores. Would it make much of a difference to performance if I have a 6 core CPU vs a 8 core?

For gaming, you dont need many cores, 6 core gen3 will be a lot better, if you can wait a month.

 

and +1 for seasonic 650watts, your systems peak power would be ~490watts depending on fans and possible aio.

 

fpr ssd, buy 1tb instead of 500gb, they are faster. I would recommend Gigabyte aorus gen4, Sabrent rocket gen4, samsung evo 970, seagate firecuda 520 or corsair mp600 in that order
