A "budget" Build

[MonkeyOfGrease]

Budget (including currency): $1,100 U.S.

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Scrap Mechanic, Forza series, NFS (most of them at least), Diablo, POE, and probably more in the future. Will also be doing some video editing and YouTube streaming. 

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): Current setup: Z190A SLI plus with an i56500 (I think), MSI GTX 970 windforce 4gb, 32gig 3200 corsair RGB ram, 120mm AIO cooler, 500gig 2.5 ssd, 1tb hd, 750w power supply (unsure what model), Corsair IQ220 mid tower and corsair RGB fans, I am running two monitors at 3840x2160 an the main monitor and 1920x1080 in the second monitor (second monitor is used for chat window and/or OSB) I am using midrange Razor wired mouse and keyboard. with logitec 2.1 speakers. I also have an external capture card to record game vids from gaming systems. I think that's it but ask if there is something I missed. 

 

Ok so I am currently at about $600 U.S. into the build and I know for gaming it isnt the best setup. But i did just order a Ryzen 7 3700x unlocked CPU and a ASUS TUF gaming b550 plus wifi motherboard. I do know that it wont do a lot for gaming performance without a better GPU (waiting for prices to drop a bit and availability to increase). I do plan to to go with an RTX 2060 soonish. My question is how would this setup (when completed) fair for a budget build gaming PC?

Sell everything except ram, fans the case if you want.
Wait a bit longer, investing in a rtx 2060 is a waste of money considering what rtx 3000 offers at the same price

@S.Hamed23 Are you saying the new cpu and motherboard are junk? Or sell the old ones and GPU@

sell the old one and gpu, cooler too. Save the money for a better gpu and cooler.

@S.Hamed23 I do plan to do a 120x3 AIO going to pick that up local when the new board and cpu arrive. But going to have to run the gpu i have for a bit until something comes available. But thanks for the info about the RTX 3000 didn't know the price point was that close. I will do some more research on the RTX 3000. Thank you.

Ok so update. I got the new motherboard and CPU in and installed. And I really cant believe the difference the CPU made, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Now I just have to wait for a decent graphics card to be available at a decent price.
