Some guys here helped me realize that I'm bottlenecking my RTX2070 by using the R5 1400, so I did some digging yesterday and found a R5 2600 online worth roughly $159. It's still perfectly within my budget after calculating everything (compared to initial calculations) , so I'm going for it!
Already placed it in my cart and it's all ready to go! Admittedly I still screwed it up a bit with the PSU, but I guess that's water under the bridge now. Also, in my region some of the parts I've listed here are much cheaper and far more easily available, hence the choices.
So how's my current build?
