New build (for me this time!)

[Sparx]

I’d be tempted to pay the extra and go with the 3900XT as they seem to hold 150mhz higher boost.

I don't think £80 is worth the 1-2 fps increase lol

Well it’s £40-50 for 150mhz across 12c24t

The best £40 ever spent in PC history?

3900X can be had for £400, XT cheapest I can find is £480.

I disagree regardless But different strokes for different folks lol

Ah man, I thought the 5700XT was the guaranteed part of the build! Historically I’ve always gone for NVIDIA GPUs but the lads 5700XT was impressive but looking at the price proximity I agree it’s worth a look

 

[Sparx]

5700 XT is very impressive for it's price point, but with 2070S offers popping up at £450 there's now only a £10 to 50 gap (model dependent) between it and the 5700 XT models.

The 2070S is definitely superior, it equals or betters 10% in some games over as mentioned.

I also prefer Nvidia drivers personally - much more stable and reliable imo over AMD GPUs...

Up to you though, your rig!

You can get a Powercolor Dual 5700XT for £345 though.

 

[Sparx]

Then I’d say get one of those

Cant fault my 2070 super to be honest very good for gaming even though i don't max out my games i turn them all down sometimes i even run low / very low settings.

When you spend £500 on a Gpu and have to turn the settings down, sad times.

So you can play CS:GO at 1000 fps on low settings with a 3080 Ti?

Deffo would tbh

IMO:

1. I'd also go with the RTX2070S if you can get it at the right price.
2. I'd definitely stick with the H115i Platinum, the base plate is from cool-it not asetek and is larger which suits the larger heatspreader size of Ryzen IMO and the 3900x does seem to respond well overclocking wise (or even PBO) with better cooling.

Would keep psu cables black as you have a lot of rgb lighting anyway.

Maybe argb water cooler.

[Sparx]

Or neither and get the much cheaper 2070S options... (personally I'd go Asus for the better cooling solution)
