I would probably wait and see, if for nothing else than the fact that some of the current pricing will likely change. That said, the system you put together there would still last a long time anyway so it's not like you have to wait. There are some things I would change though. The 3900XT isn't worth the price increase over the normal 3900X. Even with an overclock, the 3900XT is only very slightly better than the 3900X at best and you wouldn't notice the difference. The only reason I would get the 3900XT or any of the other XT chips, is if you're into enthusiast overclocking on the AMD platform. What else are you doing besides gaming? If you're just gaming, you could with an i5-10600k or an i7-10700k + CPU cooler and get better gaming performance for the same or less cost overall. If you did go that route, I'd probably switch a case with better airflow. Not in a rush of getting one. Just gaming mainly, what case would you recommend and CPU cooler? I noticed that Ryzen 3900x came w/ Wraith Fan CPU Cooler, thats if I were to pick AMD CPU. The reason I picked these parts were just for a long-term, so I don't have to worry about having to upgrade anything, I would give or take 5/6 years or even longer for 3900XT, 2080 Super and etc. to last that long. And in terms of longevity for i7-10700k, how long would that last me paired with 2080 super or next line of RTX or RDNA 2. And thank you for the help. OwO Also for VR. Certainly, I can save money by getting the i7-10700k, instead of upgrading it to i9-10900k. Again, I am not in the urgent of getting a PC right now. So I am assuming it is better just to wait and see what possible changes from i7/3900x and such.
