Want help? >State budget & CURRENCY >Post at least some attempt at a parts list >List your uses, e.g. Gaming, Video Editing, VM Work >For monitors, include purpose (e.g., photoediting, gaming) and graphics card pairing (if applicable)
CPUs based on current pricing: >Athlon 200GE - HTPC, web browsing, bare minimum gaming (can be OC'd on most mobos with the right BIOS) >R3 3200G - Recommended minimum 30-60fps gaming. 2400G can be found on sale for cheap. >R5 2600 - Good 60fps+ gaming CPU with great value >R5 3600 - Great gaming CPU >R7 3700X - Overkill gaming CPU >R7 1700X - Budget video editing >R9 3900X - Professional tasks
RAM: >Do not use a single DIMM. 2 sticks ONLY for a typical dual channel CPU >CPUs benefit from fast RAM; 3200CL16 or Micron E-die ("AES" in code) recommended >AMD B & X chipsets and Intel Z chipsets support XMP >B-die is EOP, stock is limited
GPUs based on current pricing: 1080p >RX 570/580 8GB - Can be found on sale/used for cheap. Look for 570s which are >1240MHz boost >GTX 1660 - higher fps / more demanding games. 1660Ti can be worth it if on sale for around $230, and Vega56 at around $270 >RX 5700 - even higher FPS 1440p >RX 5700 - standard, 75-100FPS+ in most games. >RX 5700XT - higher fps 2160p (4K) >RTX 2070S OC - budget option. Turing performance scales better into 4K than Navi does. >2080Ti - best for 4K but expensive
>Navi AIB models come mid-August. 5700 non-XT blower is alright, due to low power.

Avoid ASRock and Gigabyte motherboards. Avoid Gigabyte GPUs, AVOID ALL BLOWER GPUs. Avoid Corsair PSUs, get a EVGA G3 or a Seasonic PSU. Avoid Seagate HDDs, get a WD Blue HDD. Avoid Kigston SSDs, get an ADATA, Crucial or Samsung SSD. All RAM brands are the same, only Micron, SKHynx and Samsung make RAM, everyone else just puts gayming heatsinks on them so go for speeds and ratings.

Not putting pcbg builds in the OP when they recommend a 2200G with a GPU it'll bottleneck and stutter. 4 threads isn't enough for lots of games, whereas a used RX 480 will do 60fps in most, at least with settings turned down to high. Also the 200R case recommendation when it has no dust filters but you can get $30-$40 cases with dust filters. That case is shit.
It also should be using fucking parametric filters like so: pcpartpicker.com/list/Fcq93b THAT Is how you make a pcpp.

What do you think about the motherboard? Are there any other better options?
Should I stay with the 3700x or grab the 3900x? Should I even consider Intel if I wanna almost exclusively game (and maybe stream a little)? Gaming at 1440p 144hz (monitor)

I thought Gigabyte has the best lineup of x570 motherboards?

asrock was the best for gen Ryzen though and adata sucks but I agree with the Seagate part
