I don't think £80 is worth the 1-2 fps increase lol
New build (for me this time!)

3900X can be had for £400, XT cheapest I can find is £480.
I disagree regardless
But different strokes for different folks lol

5700 XT is very impressive for it's price point, but with 2070S offers popping up at £450 there's now only a £10 to 50 gap (model dependent) between it and the 5700 XT models.
The 2070S is definitely superior, it equals or betters 10% in some games over as mentioned.
I also prefer Nvidia drivers personally - much more stable and reliable imo over AMD GPUs...
Up to you though, your rig!

You can get a Powercolor Dual 5700XT for £345 though.

IMO:
1. I'd also go with the RTX2070S if you can get it at the right price.
2. I'd definitely stick with the H115i Platinum, the base plate is from cool-it not asetek and is larger which suits the larger heatspreader size of Ryzen IMO and the 3900x does seem to respond well overclocking wise (or even PBO) with better cooling.

So I’m parking a 2070S build here just for me to refer back to later. Feel free to comment if you like

Or neither and get the much cheaper 2070S options... (personally I'd go Asus for the better cooling solution)
