Hey guys, looking to get some opinions/advice on a new build for my all purpose machine.
It's time to upgrade my main rig. I usually do this every 3-4 years but it's been like 6 now so I'm past due. This system has and still does perform well for me.
What I'm currently using in a nutshell:
AMD FX 6300
Asrock 990FX Extreme9
GTX 960
8GB ram
I'm looking to put something together that will be used for medium gaming, light/medium video/picture work, and everyday surfing etc. I am NOT looking to overclock. I am NOT looking for RGB bling etc., not needed - will not be seen. I'd like this rig to perform well in 5-6 years with minor upgrades if necessary.
What I've kinda been looking at is this:
Cougar Case MX300 ATX Mid Tower
AMD RYZEN 7 3700X
ASRock X570 STEEL LEGEND
G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 3200
GeForce RTX 2060 -or- Radeon RX 5700
Seasonic FOCUS PX-750, 750W 80+ Platinum -or- EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G5, 80 Plus Gold
Still trying to look into these items. I'm new to the ssd/nvme thing but they are the future. (Probably could use some advice for the M.2/SSD)
1 gig M.2 /SSD for the OS (Win10 - home)
Small (2TB) spinner HD for everything else
Possibly still gonna need an optical drive...
Definitely open to suggestions or substitutions for the above items that may reflect better performance/value/cost. Don't need to build it tomorrow if. I get to it in a month or so, prices may just come down some. Working budget is ~$1300 US.
Thanks for looking guys!!
