This is the parts list of the $900 PC Build this benchmark was done on, you can find the parts guide here: https://youtu.be/x2L2IxEJpGg

Ryzen 7 2700 - @Amazon https://amzn.to/2HyEGgy - @Newegg https://pcdeal.tv/33Mq1Yp - @EBay https://pcdeal.tv/34RFAzz
Ryzen 7 2700X - @Amazon https://amzn.to/2qwM8R9 - @Newegg https://pcdeal.tv/362bEkn - @EBay https://pcdeal.tv/2Yj8Xbr

At the time of publishing, the R7 2700X is the deal, being only $20 more expensive than the 2700. You get a better cooler and a much faster stock boost clock speed.

— Motherboard —

MSI B450 Tomahawk - @Amazon https://amzn.to/2YCG9dp - @Newegg https://pcdeal.tv/2LDCngd

Frankly any B450 is "good enough" to run a Ryzen 7 CPU, the options come down to features and future support of higher end CPUs. Spend more, get more!

— RAM —

32GB DDR4-3200 - @Amazon https://amzn.to/2Syhnub - @NewEgg https://pcdeal.tv/2wpMeAL

RAM on Amazon requires more hunting to find the deal, the Newegg page is sorted price lowest to highest

— Storage —

1TB NVMe SSD - @Amazon https://amzn.to/3bMuW0H - @NewEgg https://pcdeal.tv/38uJlg5

Similar to the RAM, Newegg has a better sorting system for price

— Case —

Featured CM MB511 - @Amazon https://amzn.to/31UZVT1 - @NewEgg https://pcdeal.tv/2AP9ZB3
ALL Tower Cases - $45 to $110 - @Amazon https://amzn.to/318hPkZ - @NewEgg https://pcdeal.tv/2lKXUIM

The case picked out is solid for this build, however there are almost an endless number of cases to pick from, the $50 to $80 price range is about right for this level of build.

— Graphics Card —

RTX 2060 6GB - @Amazon https://amzn.to/2SBbo85 - @Newegg https://pcdeal.tv/2lJppD7

The 2060 Super & RX 5700 XT are nice, but their performance does not justify $100 more money. If you find a deal on either, no more than $50 higher, go for it.

RTX 2060 Super - @Amazon https://amzn.to/2LEkxIj - @NewEgg https://pcdeal.tv/2m7oLiC
RX 5700 XT - @Amazon https://amzn.to/2ZPwkgE - @NewEgg https://pcdeal.tv/2k89eON

— Power Supply —

All 450-500w 80+ Bronze PSUs - @Amazon https://amzn.to/31aTBX4 - @NewEgg https://pcdeal.tv/2kD9XaS

Pick your favorite name brand, Cooler Master, Corsair, EVGA, Thermaltake, etc. It almost doesn't matter, so long as the price is around $50, give or take a bit.

— Optional CPU Cooler —

CM Hyper 212 - @Amazon https://amzn.to/2A4nrAF - @NewEgg https://pcdeal.tv/2m7ozQn
CM MasterLiquid 120mm - @Amazon https://amzn.to/2N8sl8w - @NewEgg https://pcdeal.tv/2lMXoKj

To be blunt, spending money on a cooler for the R7 2700 strikes me as a terrible choice, want more performance? Buy more CPU! But that's me... these options are here for you if you really just want something besides the stock cooler.

— Windows 10 —

Windows 10 Pro - $14 - (Discount Code TD20) https://pcdeal.tv/Win10Pro

I've done a full video guide on this site, buying and using the code... short version, for $14 this is by far the deal!
