Hi,
I've finally decided to take the plunge and move on from my trusty i5/GTX970.
Have pretty much decided on a Ryzen 5 3600/5700XT combo, but less sure on the rest. Gaming wise the rig will almost entirely be used for Arma 3 at the moment, but also maybe Res Evil 2, GTA5, CS Source, Battlefield etc. Otherwise some photo/video editing, office applications, but nothing too intensive.
Some bits I'd welcome thoughts on are:

Some bits I'd welcome thoughts on are:
- CPU - 3600 v 3600x - doesn't seem worth the extra £?
- GPU - 5700xt - Gigabyte version seems the best bang for buck?
- Mobo - Worth spending the extra to get PCIe 4.0 compatibility?
