I know I dont need a B550 for the 3600, however, if AMD sticks with its current model of backwards compatibility, I am banking on the 5000 series cpus working with it, so I will only have to upgrade the cpu in two or three years, then wait another year and upgrade the mobo again while using the...

Ok, so Im upgrading two pcs (for myself and my wife) and am on a very strict, limited income. These both need to be purchased one part at a time, so it's a very slow process and both have slightly different goals in the end. Hers is a 1080p machine, while mine will hopefully end up a low end...

Thanks everybody for the answers, much appreciated

So, the games I play most right now are Forza Horizon 4 and Tom Clancy's Division 2. And those are mostly the types of genre I tend to stick with... racing and 3rd person shooters/open world. I've tried setting a couple of games to 1440p already (Forza Motorsport 7 for example) and they look...

Ok, so that was the best way I could think of to word my dilemma. Im looking to upgrade to better utilize my 4k display. Right now, this is my current specs... i5-7500 16gb ram gtx 1060-6gb xfx ts 550w psu Samsung 42" 4k tv for display So right now, my desktop is 4k, but I play all games in...

Ok, so my wife recently told me I could spend $50 out of our budget on whatever and I have yet to pick up an SSD. I currently have 3 older 500gb HDDs that I use for storage, so I know my system will benefit greatly from the upgrade. What Im seeing, buying a good quality 240gb SSD is easy with...

So... Ive got an MSI GTX 1060 with the 3 standard outputs, HDMI, DVI, and Displayport. Im currently running it on DVI to take advantage of the 144hz refresh on my Asus VG248QE monitor. I am going to be putting my old home theater setup in here when I upgrade the living room. Now I could just...

Thanks guys. I didnt choose Blackbirds answer solely due to the fact my money is currently tied up in Paypal and I dont want to lose another 3% moving it over to my bank account... so buying on Amazon is no go for this section of my upgrades (which stinks because I cant use my Prime...

Ok, so I know I'm beating that poor horse by asking this. But I've got about a $300 budget in total. My current system consists of the following... i5-7500 MSi Bazooka B250M Critical 2400mhz DDR4 16GB (8GBx2) ATI HD7770 1GB ASUS VG248QE Monitor (1080p, 144hz) Obviously, the HD7770 doesnt fit...

Ok, so here is what I have so far... i5-7500 MSi B250M Bazooka mobo 16GB of Crucial DDR4 2133mhz RAM ASUS HD7770 gpu This is an upgrade machine in the final stages of upgrading, with the gpu being the last thing left to upgrade. Now my intentions were to eventually get a GTX 1060 in the...

Just wanted to update and say thank you to CTurbo. I did end up getting the i5 7500. The RAM ultimately ended up being 16gb Crucial 2133mhz due to the Viper Elite not being available for 2 weeks. The mobo also changed slightly, got the MSi B250M Bazooka. Went over budget slightly and had to...

I appreciate the input from both of you. I know the 7770 works well with D3 (max settings on 1080 @ 55~60fps) as I have had this card for 4 years now. I dont forsee myself reformatting everything and reinstalling windows however. I got Win10 the first day the free upgrade was available and...

Ok, so Im replacing my cpu/mobo combo in my computer next week. Going from an old FX 6100 to an i5 7500. Also going from 4gb of DDR3 to 16gb of DDR4. So whats that got to do with GPUs? Well I dont have the budget to upgrade the GPU right now. I currently have a Radeon HD7770. In 6 months...

Cturbo, does the regular 7600 (non-K) come with a cooler? Found it on Amazon for $227.
