[QUOTE="LsGuy, post: 8725003, member: 681035"] Great choice of parts. Here's what I run for comparison: Thermaltake View 71 RGB case Asus X570 strix gaming Ryzen 9 3900x 32 gigs Gskill Trident Neo RGB 3600 Nvidia 2070 super (will be upgrading to the 3080 next year) Thermaltake 360mm AIO water cooler (want to go custom loop) Evga 850w gold modular power supply Samsung 1TB 970 EVO+ m.2 ssd Samsung 1TB 960 PRO m.2 ssd 4 TB western digital black 7200 RPM storage drive Samsung 500 GB 860 PRO (Ubuntu dual boot drive) The one glaring thing I'd like to point out about people saying your card will push 120 fps at 4k. This is misleading. Will that card play solitare at 120 4k? Sure. Will it play War zone at max settings? Absofuckinglutely not. Your card us ~10% slower that the 2070 super I have in my desktop now.
