Other details I have a 1080p 144hz monitor so i will be playing at 1080p. Also i don't intent to overclock anything. The 10-20 extra frames you get don't really appeal to me for the risk of damaging your parts

As you can see i already bought some parts. But i'm really undecided on the motherbord and the graphics card. 

 

For the motherboard i'm between the biostar X470NH (90€) and the asrock Fatal1ty B450 Gaming-ITX/ac (114€). The Biostar is cheaper but isn't x470 supperior to b450? Also the asrock comes with wifi and bt that could be andy.

 

For the GPU i'm between the rtx 2060 (300€) and the gtx 1660 super (200€). I'm leaning towards the 2060 due to the DLSS, is it worth the 100€? I can wait until early next year for the graphics card if you guys think that prices will drop with the release of the rtx 3060 ti

 

 

So what do you recomend? Also, do you see any problems with my build? This will be my 1st so i'm very excited but also very afraid that i screw up something.

 

Thx in advance

Prices will drop, so if you're willing to wait, I think that's your best bet. You might be able to get a 3060 for 50$ more or the 2060 for a lot less especially if you watch the used market as people upgrade to 3060's/3070's.

 

450 vs 470 is mostly about feature sets. If you can use the features of the 470, get it. If you can't, get the 450. The biggest argument I can think of against that is the 470 has better power delivery so should be more future proof if you upgrade to a 5000 series down the road? 

 

The build looks solid overall, but I'd probably add an AIO and then overclock that CPU. The ryzen 5 2600 overclocks very well if memory serves me right.

thanks for the reply. I don't think i can put an AIO in the node 202 case. Too smal for that.  Do you think the DLSS on the rtx 2060 is worth the extra 100€?
