Was debating going with an intel build. Also, the monitor is freesync 2, not Gsync, my bad. C27HG70 27 is the model number of the monitor. Only reason I went with open loop water cooling is that generally the temperatures are better (More OC headroom), and the maintainance I do not have issue...

I know I posted a spec not too long ago, and I was about to order it - but I have since encountered some money that has raised my budget to around 4000. I have tried to look at all of the possible downfalls of this spec, and I cannot find any. You guys are much more experienced than me and know...

Optical drives can be used externally VIA USB. You can pick them up very cheap. For video editing + gaming (at 1080p 60hz, presumably) This rig is (in my opinion) generally spot on. The only thing I disagree with is the case choice (The fractal focus G is much better for the reasons provided...

CPU is good. GPU is also good for 1080p. Your RAM however is quite slow, is there any chance that you could bump it up to 3000MHz and say, get rid of the blu-ray burner and raid setup? 2400MHz really isn't doing your Ryzen CPU any favors, you need around 3000-3200MHz to unlock its full...

You haven't posted your spec. Press proceed on the configuration screen, then proceed again, then copy the spec into this thread.

You don't know much, exactly. Nor do your friends, apparently. What we are saying is impartial, and fact. No opinions are involved. I have no reason to favor AMD, and I am pretty sure the other two aren't AMD shills either. AMD right now is the best in terms of gaming, and multi-threaded perf...

You are honestly one of the most ignorant people I have ever met. You have 3 people trying to help you, and we are giving you advice that is the exact same, even though none of us have ever spoken directly before. Does that not prove that the information we are giving you is correct and valid...

Yeah, actually. Did some research and the CUDA core difference between the RTX 2080S and 2070S is massive. Go with the 2080S if budget allows.

In reality, yes it does. Paying much more for less? If you're going to come onto a forum asking for help and then discredit everything we are saying, why come here in the first place? Instead of saying "doesnt make much difference does it lmao", why don't you do your own research and see for...

If you intend on playing at 4k, perhaps the Radeon 5700 isn't the GPU for you. Your monitor is 60Hz, and after some research online I found that the 5700 can only push up to 48-55 FPS in AAA games released from 2017-2019. Everything else in your build looks alright honestly. Good case, good...

Yes, it does make a difference. The i7 9700k has 8c/8t, and no simultaneous multi-threading. More and more applications these days are becoming multi-threaded, including some games. Your CPU will not become outdated in the near future, by any means, but it definitely will become obsolete before...

Honestly the only reason I'm getting the 2060 Super is it will add perhaps a year or so onto the lifespan of my PC without having to upgrade. (Plus, I'm fairly certain it can push 60hz 1440p at medium/high. So, if I ever decide to upgrade monitor, I dont have to worry) and, my budget allows, and...

Case PCS SPECTRUM RGB MID TOWER CASE. (I was going to go for the corsair spec-delta, but I have seen that it's airflow is quite not good. I'm not a big fan of this case's flashy RGB looks, although I assume the RGB can be toned down to a less obnoxious set of colors.) Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 5...
