Hello @Falzor

What kind of games or activities are you planning on doing with your computer?  At what resolution are you planning to play at?  And are you looking to get into content creation/streaming with this build?  


I think the Processor and the GPU don't pair well if you are looking to only game however for content creation/streaming/editing, it does make sense.

It is a gaming rig

Hello @Falzor

Gotcha, do you know what resolution you would be playing at? 1080P, 1440P or 4k?

idk yet, I am just trying to figure things out before hand, or maybe I should wait until I get to the store

I think in your case I'd recommend dropping down to the Ryzen 5 3600 or Ryzen 3 3300X, then upping your GPU to something like a 1660 Super, 2060 or 5600XT instead. 

The 3700X is a good processor but the 3600 and 3300X are both very very close in gaming performance to it. You'll get better mileage out of a better GPU. I would also say based on your budget/part selection you'll probably want to go with 1080p gaming.
