Building my dream PC

I am preparing to build my new PC. I started to choose the design of the PC case. So I decided to pick the Lian Li O11 Dynamic XL. I want it is because of the appearance of the aquarium look, the tempered glass on the front and the side, and RGB seem to be shown as a showcase. I fell in love with Lian-Li O11 Dynamic XL. So my concept of this dream PC is “an aquarium PC.”

Since the O11 Dynamic XL is the ROG certified model, I stuck into the ROG motherboard. I am not a game lover but using my PC for music composition, video creation, and forex trading.

I chose the CPU, AMD Ryzen 7 3700X. There is only a small difference between 3800X and 3700X, and it is not worth spending an additional budget for tiny spec differ. 

Here is the PC parts component list.

Some of the readers may think about why I picked the RTX 2060 super. The first of the first, the white color of the GPU was important.
And my usage of the PC is not for the games.
Most of the time, I am using it for video contents creation, music composition, and forex trading. I had another option to go for the Sapphire Nitro+ RX5700 XT 8G GGR6. In the GPU specification comparison, you can see that RX5700 XT scores much higher and cheaper. I was not convinced of the compatibility even though the RX5700XT is the AMD chip. I might try the compatibility later.

Another reason is the shipping fee. Since my location is in the Middle East, I don’t have many options for purchasing locally, and the cost is high, even considering the shipping fee. However, my total budget was 3,000 USD, including the shipping cost. To be honest, including the shipping cost, it was slightly over budget.
