Budget is approx £750.

I'd love to go Ryzen 3000, but no budget for it right now - House extension starting in the new year, so got to keep to my budget.

Built my son a Ryzen 2700X build back in February, and very impressed with it. Given that CPU is now available for around £170, I figure its a good bet. I game at 1080p, but would like to get a 1440 monitor next year sometime.

Ryzen 7 2700X - £170
Gigabyte B450 Aorus Pro - £100
or; MSI B450 Pro Carbon AC WiFi - £117 (used this for my son's build, and maybe a better bet)
16GB Corsair Vengeance 3200 - £80
Radeon 5700 XT - approximately £380
or; GeForce RTX 2070 Super - approximately £460
or; GeForce RTX 2060 Super - approximately £375

With the 5700 XT or the 2060 Super, it comes in just nicely around my budget. With the 2070 Super, its up to £100 over; might be able to stretch to that, but would rather not if I can help it. That said, hopefully I could pull in £150 for my 2600K, mobo, memory and GTX970 - So that might offset an overbudget purchase.

Any thoughts regarding the above options?

Cheers.
