Need help with getting the perfect components for my PC

Dec 19, 2019 3:11PM PST

Hello everyone,

I recently started putting some components on the paper, because I wanted to get myself a good Christmas present, and that is a brand new PC! I can't lie that I don't have any problems getting all the right components for it, but I definitely need some help for it!
I started from the motherboard and the ASUS PRIME X570-P ( this one https://www.gamecentar.rs/maticna-ploca-asus-prime-x570-p.html ) was really good for me. I mean the design of this board is really good, if I can start from that, but all the other possibilities that she can give are quite good! With PCIe 4.0 M.2 Slot supports up to 22110 and provide NVMe SSD RAID support for an incredible performance boost. Create a RAID configuration with up to two PCIe 4.0 storage devices to enjoy the fastest data-transfer speeds on the 3rd Generation AMD Ryzen platform. Also, the 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen processors boast more cores and bandwidth, demanding more power than typical desktop CPUs.
So if we start from here, do you think that this one will be good for a gaming PC, or should I look a bit more?
Be free to put your opinion here and thank you!

What's the goal?
Dec 19, 2019 3:59PM PST

For you that may be perfect. Here's my idea on perfect GAMING PCs.

1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCfmM71NOTo
That was about a year ago but it's about the top I see today.

2. https://www.reddit.com/r/PCMasterRace/wiki/builds contains builds that are great at the usual 1080p and more gaming.

Can you tell why you fixated on NVMe SSD RAID? I see that built once in a while but frankly I see little payback in gaming if any. No, I'm going with no payback. I'd go with SSD via a fast interface and push up my GPU budget any day.
