Considering your setup, the 3700X pairing with your 2080 Super seems promising. For optimal performance, choose a compatible motherboard and sufficient RAM. A solid choice would be an Intel Z690 or Z790 platform, paired with at least 16GB of DDR4 memory. This combination will ensure smooth operation and future scalability.
Your budget and approach are clear, along with the rest of your system.
