What GPU do I buy?

Ah,. That’s just my lack of knowledge of pc stuff lmao.. what should I change? And what to?
my friend got a ryzen 5 3600 for his 2060 but an i5 9600k would also be good for a 2060
No get a 3060ti or 3070. even once prices drop and GPU's go back to msrp you're still better off with a 3070 or 3060ti. Also looking at prices for a 2060 right now you could literally buy a 3080 just wait a bit... ALSO as of right now the Ryzen 7 3800X is more expensive than the 9900k while the 9900k has the same amount of cores and threads but has a much higher clock speed. ALSO ALSO You need a much better PSU at a minimum 650 watts but I would go for 750 watts. And finally I want to address your motherboard. You said the ASUS PRIME B450-PLUS right? Unless you can get it for under 100$ (Which is why I hope you chose it) don't go for it. Not to mention I wouldn't choose a B450 to go with a 3800X at all I would recommend a B550 or an X470. HOWEVER I would honestly go the Intel route at this point since with the price of the those chipsets you can get a Z390 motherboard. This is only in my region though... If for some reason the 3800X is cheaper for you go for it.
Ah, I’ll go back to the ryzen 5 3600.. a couple other mates said the same as you lol
Well it really depends... If you do CPU intensive thing then I don't see why not. Considering the games he is going to play and the fact that he is planning on streaming it would make sense to go for a better CPU
CAN the ryzen 7 3800x and the 2060 go together?
I plan on streaming, meaning I’d have a couple chrome tabs open, the game, streamlabs obs open all at the same time
And also plan on having WinSCP, Intellij, minecraft and multiple chrome tabs open at once
if hes getting a ryzen 7 3800x he might aswell get a 2080 super or 2080ti
Yes they can go together. Tabs are dependent mainly on your ram
Well yes but money doesn't grow on trees :/
I’ll probably have 16gb of ram to start and if I need to I can always add more
"550"
If you're going for a budget GPU, the best is probably the GTX 1660 Super. If you want the extra performance for more money, you can go for a 2070 Super. I think it might require more PSU power tho. With a Ryzen 7 3800X you could even consider a 3060Ti.

good boy
read it wrong at first
wait for 3000 series cards to come back in stock, any of them are good
if you need something rn get a used low or mid-end, r6 and mc are very low demanding games and can run on a lot of stuff. for streaming a 1070 or 1660 would be more then enough, u also might be able to get a 2060 cheap to
