I added an edit :). If I'm going to spend R1500 on a new case, I may as well spend that on the 2070 super.

During the first 5 weeks of lockdown I was using my desktop for work, but realising that this is going to take forever I went to the office and picked up my laptop. So laptop is plugged into the hdmi port and the desktop into the DP, now I just need a proper usb switch, cause currently I swap them the old fashioned way.

I've been looking to build a PC for a while now, recently spec'd out a build on Wootware for around R27K with a RTX 2070 and Ryzen 5 3600. Bit hesitant to pull the trigger.

What's the general consensus here on going for a build now? I know AMD and Nvidia are probably announcing new hardware towards the end of the year, how long does that usually take to show up locally? And is there a big difference price wise on launch (locally compared to the specified retail price)?

I'm running a 3600 with a 2070 Super :)
The problem with waiting up upgrade is that you'll always be waiting with tech.

For what purpose? If just gaming, something like the 3300X is ideal, especially if budget is a concern. If going Ryzen, try get DDR4-3600 if possible. 3200 is also fine, but you're leaving performance on the table if you go lower than that.

Gaming and also work/studies. Will require a decent CPU for good multi-threaded performance (was looking at Ryzen 5 3600 or even Ryzen 7 3700x) and RTX would be ideal for machine learning stuff. That's why I was thinking to hold out till they announce new hardware and see if the performance jump is big enough.
