Opinions on my new ryzen build please

[Drums]

Now the zen 2s are out, I feel it’s time to get a new pc. My budget is about 1500 but that also has to include a 1440p monitor, but since it’s prime day I though I could get a deal on that. Opinions will be greatly appreciated, thank you!

What will you be using this for? What did the above cost? If gaming at 1440p the RTX 2060 super should be a bit faster than the AMD card. Also, if just for gaming you could drop the CPU to 3600X and use the savings for a better PSU(TXM). I would drop the wifi card if wireless not needed or upgrade to a faster option. Also add the silver warranty for an extra £5.

The price for the build above was £1405,
The pc will be mainly used for gaming with some light programming on the side so that’s why I went with the 3700x. When switching CPUs the price drops enough that you can up the graphics card to 5700XT which runs on par with a 2070 super, or the standard 2070 is only £4 more expensive. And the WiFi is needed but since my WiFi speed isn’t super fast so no update is needed

The 3600x will be plenty for gaming and programming. If you are planning on streaming/editing than you could argue the case for 3700x. I'd definitely go for the semi-modular PSU for better airflow and future upgrades. The 2060/2070 super from PCS seem to be quite expensive. You could buy without GPU and source one yourself? This way you can choose the exact model. I would go with at least the £22 wifi card as it is dual band and your circumstances may change in the future but that's your choice. The below comes at £1407 but with better PSU, larger SSD and the better wifi card.
