Here’s a rewritten version of the text, aiming for clarity and conciseness:

“I'm building a high-end gaming PC from scratch and need some advice. My primary goal is to run demanding games like Total War: Three Kingdoms at ultra settings with large unit counts – a benchmark I’m targeting. I’ve researched components and have put together an initial build costing around $1200 (excluding the GPU), leaving me approximately $600 for that upgrade.

My current parts list is: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 x CPU, RTX 2070 (seeking recommendations on specific models), Gigabyte X470 Aorus or ASUS prime X470 pro motherboard, 16GB G Skill Trident Z RGB RAM, Samsung 860 Evo 1TB SSD and 3TB Barracuda HDD, NZXT E850 or Corsair RM850x PSU, Be Quiet Dark Base pro 900 case. I’m also considering additional fans for the case.

I'm looking for a 4K monitor in the $300-$400 range and want to prioritize quality and value. I’m open to cheaper alternatives for some components but want to build with future upgradeability in mind, particularly the GPU.

Could someone review my build and offer suggestions? Thank you.”

The Ryzen 7 1700 is a powerful processor with 8 cores and a clock speed of 3 GHz, suitable for demanding tasks like gaming and video editing. To keep it cool, the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black Edition is an excellent choice, providing effective airflow. The Asus ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING motherboard offers robust features and connectivity. For memory, the Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 ensures smooth performance. A Crucial MX500 1 TB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive provides fast storage, complemented by a Seagate Barracuda 3 TB 3.5" 7200RPM internal hard drive for larger file storage. The Zotac GeForce RTX 2080 8 GB GAMING AMP Video Card delivers impressive graphics capabilities. The Phanteks Eclipse P350X case offers ample space and good airflow, while the SeaSonic FOCUS Plus Gold 650 W power supply ensures stable operation. Finally, a Microsoft Windows 10 Home OEM 64-bit operating system completes the setup. The LG 32UD59-B monitor provides a crisp 4K display for optimal viewing. This configuration totals $2029.09 and includes shipping, taxes, and discounts. The RTX 2080 is well-suited to medium-high settings at 60 FPS. If Microcenter is nearby, the Ryzen 1600 ($80) would be a good alternative for 3rd gen Ryzen releases expected in July.

With regards to the parts I had pieced together in the first post how well do you think they would run? Im assuming the GPU would struggle with 4k but 1440p?

The 2070 or 2080 would work well at 1440P.
If your looking at a screen with a lot of real estate then look at a 3440x1440P and if you prefer a higher refresh rate they go from 60hz up to 120hz.

Here’s a rewritten version of the text:

“I'm considering purchasing an MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Gaming X Trio video card. It’s priced at around €800, and I want to know if it’s a good investment given my overall budget of €2000 (including a monitor). Specifically, I’ve already allocated funds for the monitor, so I'm looking to stay within that total budget by a small margin. Could you assess whether this card is a sound purchase?”
