Write up:


CPU:

I went with the 3900XT because it is a 12 core 24 thread beast of a chip for under $500


CPU Cooler:

The Hyper 212 is a beast of a cooler and matches the black and classy look.


Motherboard: 

I went with the MSI because of the price and features. Not to mention the X570 is the most feature rich AM4 Chipset. Furthermore, while I will never tell you to get a Motherboard solely because of WIFI for the price it was worth it.


Memory: 

A fox list wouldn’t be complete without at least 16GB of memory and the G.Skill Ripjaws V 32 GB Doubles that and rips along at 3600mhz ensuring the CPU isn’t RAM bottlenecked. 


Storage: 

As Always for this price point I am pairing a 1TB NVME with a 2TB HDD. Put your system and main games on the NVME and put your files and games on the HDD and yes, the NVME had DRAM


Video Card: 

I went with the 2080 Super because it’s the second-best gaming GPU on the market without going Titan.



Case: 

This case checks all the boxes. PSU shroud, Tempered glass, Cable management,.....



Power Supply: 

When I saw the price for this fully modular PSU I couldn’t not put it on the list.


Case Fans: 

Noctua fans are the best on the market and these 2 140mm fans will deliver


Conclusion: 

This is a solid Gaming PC that will run most titles on Ultra settings.
