Hey guys iv had abit of advice on this and I think I'm happy with everything so far I just wanted a few second opinions, feel free to make any suggestions along as it dont go to over budget, original budget was 1000 but I think I'm on 1100 at the minute. I'm also not sure about the motherboard either because I know I need to do a bio setup for the ryzen cpu.

CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor
Graphics card - Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER 8 GB WINDFORCE OC Video Card
Motherboard - ASRock B450 Pro4 ATX AM4
Ram - Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory
Storage - Intel 660p Series 1.02 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive
Storage - Western Digital RE 2 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Power supply - SeaSonic FOCUS Plus Gold 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
Case - Xigmatek Frontliner ATX Mid Tower Case

And also was going to ask if there is a better ram anyone can recommend I dont mind spending a extra aslong as it ain't too much over £100 -150 I like the ones that change colours if there is any good ones available for that price.
 
Is the graphics card your suggesting to wait for supposed to be much better than the 2060s? And I'm guessing it will be more expensive?
And that motherboard should do just fine it isn't that expensive, so I will not have to do a bio setup I will just have to put my build together completely and then do a update is that right?
And the memory is there any chance I can get somthing for the same sort of money and just as good with a light up effect when it changes colour.
And about the storage I thought nvme was essential for fast loading screens?
I'm sorry for so many simple questions I'm new to all this haha.
 
  1. The present 5700XT reference is cheaper/faster - but runs warm - as for the price of the AIBs depends on release price/card you choose.
  2. In theory it should work our of the box - but even if it doesn't it has a flashback feature which means you can update the BIOS without a CPU (you would need a CPU for the Asrock - and the board isn't as ZEN-2 capable/VRMs)
  3. Not that i know of - B-die costs more combined with bling. The sticks you listed are E-DIE and great value and can be clocked/tweaked, similar to expensive B-DIE.
  4. NVMe is not essential you could get by with an MX500 1TB M.2. ~£100 - and save money - no discernible real world speed difference.
  5. No worries.
I will have a look into that card inaminute I hope it comes out soon as I was planning on purchasing the parts for this build this week. Are they meant to be better than the RTX variants as I have seen a lot of reviews and they are meant to be the way forward latley.
And sounds good saves a lot of work the only motherboards I could find that comes ready was 150+ I wanted to ask another question, I was originally going to get the ryzen 7 2700x but I had abit of advice that the ryzen 5 3600 is a lot better and it's almost cheaper, is that the right decision?
Ahh okay please keep an eye out if you find any decent ram with "bling" haha but your right performance comes first.
