Great case choice! Which nation are you in? What purpose will this PC serve? Do you also require additional accessories?

No extra devices, intense gaming sessions, limited video work, and constant online activity.

I aim for a durable solution that maintains performance over an extended period, ensuring consistent results without significant degradation.

Heavy gaming still leans toward Intel CPUs, though options like this are promising: PCPartPicker lists the Intel Core i7-9700F at $329.99 and a Corsair H60 cooler for $79.99. For motherboards, Gigabyte Z390 I AORUS PRO WIFI Mini ITX is available for $168.98. RAM choices include G.Skill Ripjaws V 16 GB for $83.99 and the new DDR4-3600 model at $83.99. Storage picks show Crucial P1 1 TB M.2-2280 for $109.99 and a PowerColor RX 5700 XT card at $383.98. Power supplies range from Corsair TXM Gold 650W to ARCTIC BioniX P120 at $13.99. All prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts. Combined total comes to around $1269.89 or $1164.91 depending on the source. Predictions about future CPU needs are uncertain, so AMD could be a safer alternative if you plan upgrades later.

PCpartpicker upgraded version delivers optimal pricing for your needs. It easily fits within your budget, far exceeding the $1,300 limit. The 2080S wasn’t ideal either, but the 2070S doesn’t seem worthwhile. The Rx 5700XT offers similar performance at a much lower cost. For gaming, the 3700x provides no advantage; stick with the 3600x instead. Unless streaming is your goal, opt for the 3700x or a CL16 RAM kit. The PSU is adequate but might be too much—check compatibility carefully. The TXm model matches the 2070S in performance and size, making it a solid choice. RAM-wise, consider a 3600X. The case isn’t listed on PCpartpicker, so verify fitment. For storage, you don’t need an SSD unless you require extra space.

I’m excited about the RX 5700 XT and planning to buy it without wasting money. I’m focusing on investing in a high-quality GPU cooling solution, especially water cooling if feasible. Here’s my compiled list:

- Cougar Case QBX build CPU – https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07SXM...0DER&psc=1
- MSI Gaming Radeon Boost Clock – https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Gaming-Radeon...700+xt+8gb
- CPU cooler – https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1...s_pro.html
- RAM (32GB, 288-pin DDR4) – https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-32gb-288-...6820232907
- CPU cooler (Corsair Hydro Liquid Cooler) – https://www.amazon.com/CORSAIR-Hydro-Liq...B079NXZQBC
- Power supply – https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079HG...0DER&psc=1

Let me know if you need anything else!

Also, you could install a water cooling radiator above the 120 mm fans for your GPU!
