I have been holding off for zen 2 so another month to wait, I'm thinking Ryzen 3600 €200? 16 GB 3200 ram €100, €150 for motherboard, that leaves €400 for a GPU.
Thinking the rtx 2060 would be a good bet.
Does that sound like my best option? Cheers!

RTX 2070 is likely to be ousted by AMD RX5700 unless Nvidia makes a price cut.
Wait another month for benchmarks for sure.
