    I feel like nvme for OS is good, like 256-512gn depending on cost/sales you find. Then a 1 or 2tb SSD for games.

    You are disregarding price for performance. And if we are being anecdotal, I have had zero issues with my Ryzen 5 3600 and 5700XT on an X470 board. And I've definitely had issues with Intel in the past, because PC part manufacturers all suck sometimes.

    As long as you aren't married to very specific parts, you will kill it in November. Prime Day was amazing for building.

    Hard thing with prebuilt computers is Motherboard, RAM and Power Supply. You typically know what you are getting with the CPU and Video Card. If you can't identify the motherboard it's a no go to me. RAM could be less important if you are doing an Intel build.

    Borderlands 3

    I bought this, guess I'm an asshole. But I enjoy Borderlands. I ran into similar issues with it dropping write to zero. Restarting my computer fixed it mostly. Having FiOS Gig Internet and a wired connection is really nice. First time I've downloaded a game not on wireless, it was done fast...

    How new is your house? If it's old, id say don't even try. If it's newer it might be worth buying, testing and if it doesn't want work return it.

    I really like the Lian Li O11 it's very nice. The Fractal Design Meshify aases are considered really good due to the air flow. I have a Corsair Carbide 275R I really like; and their higher end cases seem good as well. I personally think the NZXT cases are overrated.

    Do you want to hit $1200 or stay below? Also given how close we are to Black Friday, I'd wait. I probably saved somewhere in the realm of $300 by buying on Prime Day and not being extremely tied to specific components (aside from processor due to the new Ryzen release and knowing the price was...

    This is Nvidia's huge problem. Their top end cards suck ass compared to the last gen. While the 5700XT isn't better specs/benchmark wise, purely from a price point perspective (I'd imagine I'll find one for $350ish on Black Friday) it's better to buy one of them assuming you don't have a 1080ti...

    I'm assuming he's talking 2080 not 2080ti. I consider the 2080ti the biggest fucking waste of money ever at the same cost as a really good gaming computer. It's only a big difference in the sense of dick measuring. Total waste of time at that price and how bad the 20xx generation has been...

    Well I mean, it's the top card available. Not accounting for the different versions. But like for instance. On my budget I built a computer for around a grand or so. And bought a used RX580 for $110. If I were going to upgrade assuming similar budget constraints. A 5700 or 5700XT makes sense...

    If you are willing to spend $650 for a card why even entertain the 5700XT? 2080>2070S>5700XT>2060S It's a question of cost not performance. Personally, the bet bang for your buck will be the 5700XT 3rd party cards based on the benchmarks. But if you can spend more than $400~ the 2070S and 2080...

    1080TI is almost impossible to replace right now. I'd be surprised if you'd even need to bother for another two or three years. High end video cards are in a really weird spot. Mid range is awesome right now.

    All the reviews out for the 3rd party cards are showing its better than the 2060 super and close enough to the 2070 super that the $100 savings is worth while. The Red Devil with 3 fans for $440 is tempting but im waiting for black Friday.

    Positive vs Negative seems more like hooey. And from what I read it's mostly a matter of dust accumulation. And there isn't much OC on the Ryzen 5 3600.

    It's pulling the air through the rad, yes. I mean I'm not going to convince you via a post. Most places agree this setup is fine. This video is a bit older but discusses it.

    The Corsair 275R has two open slots all the way down both sides in the front. The case is setup to pull in air from the front via those slots and exhaust from the top and rear. Also the AIO is a H115i which has two 140s, so I couldn't top mount if I wanted too. But I did follow the case design...

    Ended up building the below thanks to Prime Day and Newegg competing. I have not purchased the processor or video card yet...waffling on 1080p vs qHD. Feel like I should get an RX570/80 and let things flesh out a bit more with Navi. PCPartPicker Part List CPU: AMD - Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz...

    If you really want to go this route (I wouldn't, it's much easier to build a computer these days), then it seems like a place like NZXT is probably the way to go. But be prepared to spend money.
