With the news of Quake Champions on the horizon (and the beta a few weeks away) I've been really considering building a new PC. Due to time constraints I may not be able to build it myself. But the quote system here on PCSpecialist may give me the PC I need to play Quake Champions and other games.
I've been swayed by the news of AMD new Ryzen CPUs and with the recent partnership between AMD and Bethesda, it makes sense to be part of it.
This is the spec of PC I've gone for, wondering if it might be overkill.

Vega is on the horizon so the above specs should be suitable when things have settled.
The major concern at the moment is the motherboard and cpu supplies. Hearing that their are shortages (currently) so not sure if I should order now or wait until supplies come in.
What are your thoughts?
