[chromalife]

Budget (including currency): $2000

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Streaming with OBS, WoW and other AAA titles, light programming and database work. 

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 currently have SSDs, NVMes, PSU and peripherals.I'd like to play with over 120 fps at 1440p.  Below are my current parts list:

 

Define 7 Case

3 1TB Samsung 860 EVO

2 1 TB Intel 660p NVMe

1 Evga Supernova 1000w PSU (it was a gift)

16 gb Corsair Vengeance 3600 Mhz

 

Here's what I plan on getting, I hope it's formatted right.

Monitors

I plan on running 2 1080p 60Hz IPS monitors as non primary monitors, and a 1440p 144Hz TN panel.

 

Why are you upgrading?

It's been three years and while I could continue with my current build for a few more years, I have the opportunity to comfortably upgrade for once. So I'm happy with that.  

 

If anyone sees any inconsistencies let me know please. I do have a 1700X, but I am unsure if I can use it to flash the board.

Yo.

Great build overall, can't really say much about it.

Streaming while playing AAA titles: Ryzen stands out as the better choice in CPU side, and Ampere GPU's stand out as the better choice in GPU side.

For 2 years, it will barely hold, in 1440p ultra AAA gaming VRAM might be an issue. A huge one. (It will be, as I can say when thinking logically with all the tech news today.)

For more than 2 years, I'd say probably 10GB VRAM will start making your games stutter a lot, huge FPS drops, and even games crashing.

RX 6000 series perform really good in 1080p and 1440p. But I believe RTX 3080 will probably hold its own pretty good for a few good years. 

If you play Ubisoft games though, AMD has massive lead in AC: Valhalla and probably will have a bigger lead in Far Cry 6 imo.

Especially DiRT series will HUGELY benefit AMD.

Other Ray-Tracing titles, like Cyberpunk, CoD series etc. itll not be a bad choice to go with the RTX 3080. But as I said: I guess 10Gigs wont be enough for 1440p ultra gaming+streaming for 2 years. More than 2 years i give it zero chance, reason is: Next gen consoles and AMD GPU's are very well optimized and finally game developers dont have 8gigs VRAM limit.

Its really hard to decide or tell whats right or whats better, and what is not. But personally, as a person who had 2080 Super before, and was thinking of upgrading to 3080 for 8 months straight until RX 6000 came in: I chose AMD for similar resolutions as you game on. But on the Ray Tracing side, I cant guarantee anything and AMD might suck real bad in RT. But as I cant guarantee, I %100 think AMD will show its real potential as games optimize to next gen consoles and AMD's ray tracing hardware because in a while now new consoles will be SO common for gamers, and games will have to be optimized to RDNA 2 ray tracing and so on. But yeah, as I said,

3080 is really good, except: Falls a tad short behind RX 6800 XT in 1440p in average. Probably will hold with 10gigs for a year or two in 1440p ultra, but I think it will not be able to.

6800 XT is really good too, except: Ray-Tracing doesnt seem satisfying for now. Thats the only disadvantage yet, but we all can say it hugely depends on games implemention.

Minecraft: RX 6000 has a huge lose in ray tracing.

DiRT 5: RX 6000 has a massive lead in ray tracing.

But both are extremely optimized to another, so its really not accurate in both sides. However, NVIDIA is more promising in ray tracing and DLSS. 

 

Here you go, I tried being non-biased and told you everything I know  Overall nice setup project. Choice is yours now, RX 6800 XT or RTX 3080 and both really are great.

Other than that the system is fine imo, didnt deep search anything so if someone comes like:

OMG BLUR U ARE LYING THIS PART IS TOO BAD LMAO U SUCK

I dont know fam, I had a short time looking at the system it looked normal.

 

Have a nice day.
