Budget (including currency): Around $1100 USD

Country: Mexico

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mostly e-sports, but there's plenty of AAA titles in my library I've wanted to play, both of these at 1440p 144hz+. I plan on streaming. Down the line I'll pick up video editing.

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): My main goal is to play e-sports titles, mostly league of legends, but as I mentioned there's many games I've been meaning to play, or other that I want to mod to look better; I want to pick up streaming as a hobby and I'm going to need to have video editing capabilities since I'm going to study film making and I have to present a project for a scolarship.

I had my eyes set on R5 3600, RTX 2060 Super, Dual channel 16GB RAM, a B450 tomahawk and a 512GB Nvme. I don't have to buy a hard drive or a PSU since I'm going to be using the oones from my current PC.

This was before the latest releases so I'm mostly asking if I should buy this due to availability and prices or go for the RTX 3070 and an R5 5600X.

For comparison, I can get a Ryzen 5 3600X for 260 USD and the only 5600X is available at 353 USD. For the GPU I can only find used 2060 supers for around 440 dollars (pics show good condition) and I can only find RTX 3070's in ebay for around 700 USD
If I was to buy the 5600x I'd go for a B550 board.

I also know about the AMD cards but I don't know if they'll even be in stock.

Should I buy my initially planned build or go for the newer gen components? Older components are on sale untill the 20th

New gen. Wait for the 5600z to be in stock offically, same with the 3070. you are paying 250 overwhat you should if you bought from retailers

I could use some help with this!

But as @HelpfulTechWizardsaid, I'd wait and grab things at prices that are more realistic

I should mention to not buy the r5 3600 at that price. Its out of stock on other place, where it sells for 200.

You're right. Didn't even bat an eye.
