I'm thinking about getting a better CPU for a GPU that I just got. Is 5800X3D a good match for 6950 XT? And if it is, what MOBO would you recommend for it? I'm not looking for anything fancy. Something quality, but without a lot of extra features. The main requirement is that it would support...

Hi. Thanks for the reply! I was definitely expecting that I wouldn't be utilizing the full potential of the GPU, but I did not expect an actual drop in performance, so I hope it's something I can fix! I'm running on the High Performance power plan. My bios version is American Megatrend inc...

Hi everyone! :) As the title says, I just upgraded my GPU, but am now running into severe performance issues. Overwatch went from a stable 144fps (custom settings, mid-high) to an average of 55 FPS. Fortnite refuses to even start a match now (I get stuck on a loading screen). I thought it...

Some people say that two of the slots are slow and two are fast. Would I be fine with just buying two more of the same 8GB or would it be better to get completely new 2x16?

My power supply is Corsair TX550M 550W 80 Plus Gold Semi Modular. It was new when I got it back in 2019. And yes, I game every day. Usually there's no trouble. Can run most things at near 144 FPS. Diablo 4 was also running at above 100 but with tons of stuttering (freezing, dropping to 0 FPS...

Hey everyone. The recent Diablo 4 beta made me consider getting upgrades as I was stuttering a lot. When looking in Task Manager I could see that my memory usage was pretty much capped out. I currently have 16 GB and people seem to think that is more than enough, so I don't know if getting more...

Thanks all for the great answers. I think I'll go with the Ryzen then. The price difference is not that much so if they're pretty comparable in performance I'd rather have something future proof :)

Hey, I've been looking at CPUs for a bit and I must admit I'm completely lost. I'm trying to get a decent gaming build without anything too fancy. I doubt I'll be overclocking as I have no idea how and don't think I have the energy to learn it :) So I've noticed that people seem to recommend...

Awesome! Thank you very much :)

Thanks for the answers guys! I think I'm gonna go for the ASRock and i5-8400 to save a bit. As far as I understand there wouldn't get any benefit from RAM above 2666MHz if I don't overclock, right? Also, would I be able to fit in an m.2 SSD a long with the GPU on this motherboard? Thanks again!

Hey guys I'm wanting to upgrade my PC cause my old one is starting to be unable to handle games anymore. Right now I'm trying to choose the CPU and the motherboard. There's currently a really nice discounted bundle with an ASUS Prime Z370-P + an i5-8600k at about $75 more (I'm in Denmark...
