Ryzen 3600X or 3600 with RTX 2070 graphics card
No, the result depends on the specific model and the cooling system installed. Both GPUs use similar energy levels, so they generate comparable heat overall. The AMD card stands out due to its affordability, especially if you consider lowering the voltage and plan to fine-tune it. The RX 5700 non-XT offers better performance potential with a custom BIOS setup, making it ideal for those willing to invest time in optimization. If budget allows or you prefer plug-and-play solutions, the Nvidia card is straightforward and reliable.
I chose the 5700XT for its value. If you're on a tighter budget, the 2070 super is worth considering. It offers better speed but the performance gain didn't justify the cost. For processors, a 3600 is my pick again. I'm currently using a 4.3GHz all-core OC without heavy tuning—just set it to 4.3 in Ryzen Master and keep voltage low to manage heat. I plan to try 4.4 later when I have more time.
