Ryzen 3600
Vega 64
Tomahawk MAX
Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x8gb 3200Mhz (maybe 3600Mhz as its only a few quid more)
P400A
Trying to decide on Seasonic Core 650W 80+ Gold and Corsair TX-650W Semi Modular for power supply

Still going back and forth on a monitor, not sure whether to invest in a 1080p 240 hz. So except for 2 things i'm pretty much sorted!

Do you already have the Vega 64?

What about a 1440p/144hz monitor? 240hz makes more sense for competitive eSports games, if that's what you're playing

Yes i already have the Vega 64.

I play CSGO but am planning to get into other games too. I worry that 27inch isnt really optimal for first person shooters.

I recently moved from a 24" 1080/144 to 27" 1440/144 and have found the experience a lot better playing cod and apex - the increased resolution is definitely noticeable imo.

Downside is the GPU power needed to run it, have a gtx 1080 and its mostly fine with g sync but definitely not a steady 144 fps even with some graphics settings turned down

Maybe i'll get a 240hz for now and get a 1440p somewhere down the line. I wish i could try one. I'm not really sure what it'll feel like playing 60fps/hz after playing CS at 144 for so long.

CSGO is not very demanding, you'd easily push 144fps at 1440p
