Your Opinions on a New PC!!! My First Custom Build!
Hello, I am looking to build a computer for gaming and work. Below is the build I have put together. Please let me know if there are areas you feel I could change to save a little or areas to spend a little more for better performance. The PC will be used for games like Overwatch, Diablo, and Path of Exile. I want to run at high frame rates; preferably 120 FPS. It will also be used to work with large excel docs and Access.
I am not sure if an AMD Ryzen 7 3700x is the better route to go instead of intel for my purposes.
CPU - i7 9700k
GPU - EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 Super XC Gaming Overclocked Dual-Fan 8GB
RAM - G. Skill Trident Z RGB 16GB 2x8GB
Power Supply - Corsair 750 Watt 80 Plus Gold
Case - NZXT H510 Elite
M.2 SSD - Samsung M.2 1 TB SSD
2.5" SSD - Samsung 860 EVO 1TB SSD
Water Cooling - NZXT Kraken X62 280mm
Operating System - Windows 10 Home Pro 64-bit
Total Cost: $2,240.00
Thanks for your opinions and help!

I am not sure on your timetable...but Intel is releasing new chips, so it may be a good idea to wait and see the performance differences. I built something similar, https://www.microcenter.com/buildpost/280/first-time-build--mostly-gaming, that runs well COD: Warzone at 144 FPS for 1440. Good luck with the build and enjoy the process.
