Budget (including currency): 1500-2000 CAN

Country: Canada

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: CSGO / Call Of Duty etc...

Other details Son planning new gamming rig. Tired of his current i7 4th Gen. He looking at possibly the new Ryzen 7 - 5800x that coming out in Nov

 

Looking and was thinking something like this....

AMD Ryzen 7 3800X 8-Core/16-Thread 7nm Processor - Socket AM4 3.9GHz/ 4.5 GHz Boost, RGB Wraith Prism Cooler, 105W (100-100000025BOX)

ASUS TUF GAMING X570-PLUS (Wi-Fi) AMD AM4 X570 

G.SKILL Trident Z Series 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 3200MHz CL16 Dual Channel Memory Kit 1.35V (F4-3200C16D-32GTZ)

SAMSUNG 970 EVO Plus M.2 NVMe PCI-E 1TB Solid State Drive, Read:3,500 MB/s, Write:3,300 MB/s - (MZ-V7S1T0B/AM)

CORSAIR RM Series™ RM750 80 PLUS Gold Fully Modular ATX Power Supply

NZXT H710 MID-TOWER ATX CASE 

 

Going to take his Asus 2070 and a 2TB WD Gold and transplant into the above.

Not firm on case, but wondering if anyone had additional suggestions / comments.

He got two 144 Mhz monitors connected as well...

Hold off on building a list up for about a month.

The new AMD/Nvidia cards would fit in with this budget and so will AMD's new chips.

solid parts list but the 970 evo is pretty excessive for a gaming PC. Try this:

You can squeeze in some faster ram and wifi, and unless you love the look of the H710 a lot, I recommend this instead. Very stylish and great airflow.
