Hi all,
I have a prospective build in need of being vetted. I have ordered several of the parts already, but a few remain in their basket until I am confident to order those, too.
Goals:
- 1440p 144fps at high settings for single-player titles (eg. Metro Exodus)
My concerns are:
- How will I cool the case (CPU and GPU)?
- Which GPU variant to opt for?
- Will the chosen motherboard provide sufficient power, fast Wi-Fi and high-grade audio (via bluetooth)?
- Unrelated: I purchased an unopened Corsair 600W PSU from Ebay. I'm wondering whether I have access to their generous 7 year warranty.

CPU: AMD - Ryzen 7 3700X 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor ($329.00 @ Amazon)

I would consider the 3600 and the RTX 2060 Super if these components would increase the longevity and decrease the complexity of the system. Also, I am aware of the BIOS issue regarding this motherboard. I will have the motherboard updated prior to it being shipped.
