High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.
Intel or AMD based?
Any!

I'm certainly not the best at picking parts, but I think I have most of the main components.
I'll try to explain why I chose the parts.
Ryzen 7 2700X - the Ryzen's (as far as I know) are great for gaming. They have 8 cores and a pretty decent clock speed. You should have no bottlenecks with this processor.
Cooler Master - Cooler Master's are great coolers. I have one myself and it does the job well.
MSI Motherboard - micro atx board (smaller than the standard), so it may be a little more difficult to work with, but this is the best bang for the buck I could find.
Corsair Vengeance - corsair is well known for their memory, and 16 GB should be fine for gaming. If you are thinking of streaming, you may want to upgrade to 32 GB.
Seagate BarraCude 1TB HDD & Samsung 860 Evo 500GB SSD - SSD for boot drive & possibly most frequently used games and the Barracuda for miscellaneous. SSD, of course, would be used for the boot speed and increased read & write speeds. HDD for less-frequently used things.
MSI GeForce GTX 1660 Ti - I've looked at the benchmarks and this card performs very well for it's price. 8th in ranking for graphics cards https://www.pcgamer.com/gpu-hierarchy-2019-ranking-the-graphics-cards-you-can-buy/. If you are thinking about doing more AAA gaming, you may consider upgrading, but this card should do completely fine.
Corsair Case - nothing special about this case. The board will fit inside in case you were wondering.
EVGA Power Supply Gold Certified 750W - this total estimated wattage of this PC is 336W. This power supply will do great and you will not run into any power issues with it.
Microsoft Windows 10 Pro - didn't choose this for any specific reasons.
Intel Network Adapter - I'm not positive if you're going to do wired or wireless, but I did a wired connection because it's gaming.
Total Price: $1198.95 with mail-in rebates, I was assuming you had a monitor and the peripherals.
There are probably more experienced people in PC building than myself, so you may consider waiting on more opinions.
Good luck on your new PC! Building them is the best way to do it

This is going to help me a lot thank you so much bro!
When is it coming out?
Oh thanks for the heads up
Quarter 3, rumors say July 7th. I strongly recommend waiting out the next few weeks for when it releases. There should be more info at computex at the end of the month from AMD. Navi (AMD's next gen graphics cards) are also dropping Q3, I don't have too high expectations for them given the current used market but that's just me. Others do have high(er) expectations for Navi.
I'll prob wait till the CPU comes out. thanks
