Ryzen 3700x build advice

Cunning Alias

Looking at a new build in the next month. I have a number of parts that I will be carrying over from my old machine including the GPU.

1. What is your budget? €1k to 1.5k

2. What will be the main purpose of the computer? Gaming, Development, VR

3. Do you need a copy of Windows? No (can use licence from old machine)

4. Can you use any parts from an old pc. Asus Strix 1070, DVD drive, 1x 1tb 3.5, 1x, 2tb 3.5. 1x 128gb ssd

5. Do you need a monitor? No

5b. If no, what resolution is your current monitor and do you plan to upgrade in the near future? 1920 x 1080 120hz. Plan to upgrade to a 2560 x 1440 144hz before the end of the year.

6. Do you need any of these peripherals? Nope

7. Are you willing to try overclocking? Possibly. Lets say no for now though.

8. How can you pay? [Bank Transfer/Credit Card/Laser]. Any

9. When are you purchasing? [In x days]. Over the next month.


Rough list that I have so far.

Instead of 2x SSDs, get a single 2Tb Corsair Force MP510.
It's better than the 970 Evo 1Tb in every metric.
