Can someone check this spec - Appropriate case and PSU?

[nuttty222]

For Adobe Creative Suite and high end gaming at 1080p only.

• Unsure if I have the right case for cooling etc
• Is the build value for money?
• Budget is £1100ish

NOTE: GPU I want is the 6GB NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 2060 which is not available yet, willing to wait.

For power consumption, the Philips 276E9QJAB - 27 Inch FHD Monitor (30W) is the monitor I will be using. Is 550W PSU good enough for this monitor along with my build + the RTX 2060?
Thanks!

@nuttty222 just FYI - the monitor will have its own plug so won't be powered by your PCs PSU

 

[nuttty222]

Thanks for the replies! Would the Motherboard ASUS PRIME B550-PLUS be just as good? It's not available yet, but if I'm waiting for the RTX 2060, that is not a problem.

I am pretty sure I have read some place that Nvidia have pretty much stopped production of 2000 and 1000 series.

Pretty much scaled back to warranty support levels.

 

[Gavras]

Yep.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 and GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER Production Has Reportedly Ceased

Finding a last-generation alternative to NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 30 Series may have gotten even tougher.

Scuttlebutt says no more GeForce RTX 2060 or 2060 Super cards are being made

Out with the old, in with the new.

www.pcgamer.com

admittedly all similar starting point, it does however reflect lack of stock and why continue an older card when new versions are released but need those short supply components.

 

[nuttty222]

The site says (ETA: 09-02-2021) for the 2060, is this just not true then? What GPU would you recommend in that case?

I would be dropping that 2 and replacing it with a 3.

the thing is, I believe you will be only using a 1080p setup, so the 3050 should suffice.

The 3060 would allow you to have a proper 27” screen at 1440p or higher (up to a point).

That base build that @Nursemorph has is great as you have that flexibility.

 

[nuttty222]

What about the AMD Radeon series, are they a good alternative, the rtx 3060 or would I be better going for a GTX series ?

Made a few adjustments to get the price down with the 3060, how is this spec?
Could buying a cheaper case but adding in extra fans/cooling be an option to reduce the price further?
