This system will outperform the one you picked in single threaded tasks, and match it in multi threaded ones. I saved money wherever I could, so you now have ~$1000 for a GPU, meaning you could get a scalped 3060 or 3060 Ti. Plus, it has an iGPU, so if you don't want to buy from a scalper, you can try your luck at getting a 3070 for MSRP and keep using the computer while you wait (including mild gaming, Intel's Xe graphics are actually pretty good)

Here, Optimized build. Get at least 3060 ti for GPU, For gaming that's most important part and if you get 1660 you'll be bottlenecked.

Just cut tons of cost so i guess you have 1500cad for the gpu, maybe you can get a 3080

I really cut some corners and stretched it and for the price of a 3090 he can build an entire rig with a 6900xt.

 

I probably forgot some component lol but I did it for the memes. came out to $2517

lol I said I cut corners. 

 

I wonder how mad you'd be if I had a core i3 and a gtx 970 a few years ago from a $600 budget piece of crap system that I upgraded so much over the years that only the motherboard and 32gb ram kit remain. I traded that GPU for a 1300 watt supernova PSU lol, and my pc now has a 3090 and a 9900k. 

 

it might just be the fastest z370 system on LTT forums O_O like 18,460ish on 3dmark time spy ain't bad lol

 

my first label for said rig was literally every corner cut. it has 13 fans most of which are white only, 3 white light bars that are all daisy chained to two molex cords off my PSU. my cooling system was all recycled parts from a friend who gave up on watercooling and the only new parts are fans and several fittings, and GPU blocks. my cpu block is literally from like 2014, and it's cooling a 9900k lol. almost my entire rig was used scrap parts. I did that for the memes too
