New build need help

@Kevin Matthews you're better off not overstretching your finances. just buy the best you can afford now. rather than some omgwtfmonster pc.
i guarantee you 2 years down the line, there'll be something better and greater.

Well that's true i suppose lol what you recommend mate,. Bit of guidence or recommendations be greatly appreciated. Be buying parts next Thursday
 
RX 5700 good as Nvidia?
it's a rx5700 XT - at stock, it sits in between a 2060 super and a 2070 super

Also the motherboard the bios issue still okay is there any alternative?
the issue is that for a 3600, the newly released x570 boards are overkill - but only the x570 boards will work out of the box for the ryzen 3000 series. also, getting a x570 board means that you'll have to scrimp on some other part of the build.
the value alternative are the b450 boards - but this will need a bios update before it will work with ryzen 3000 series chips.

i suppose the question is: are you comfortable with updating bios on your own?

you could potentially ask ocuk to build this spec for you (ask in the presales section on the forum) and get a quote if you don't feel confident.
but it will be more of a £1400 build due to labour costs

also: windows isn't specced as it makes more financial sense to get a grey windows key on the cheap (~£5)
 
Dont mine updating the bios as have a mate that help me in the build, also windows key i have on for my laptop already. So no need for one.. That build you posted be fine then? No need to change anything mate?
 
Also do i need buy a wifi adapter separately?
board already has it inbuilt :)

3600 has a higher single-core performance, also ram doesn't affect performance on the 3600 as much as the 2700.
Multicore-wise, 2700 is slightly faster than the 3600 (8 slower cores is better than 6 faster cores).
But for gaming, 3600 is faster, because single core performance still matters a lot.

TL;DR version: for gaming, get the 3600.
