Not sure what you are saying here. You suggest keeping CPU but right after say to change it?

Third-Eye, I run 3 monitors so adding the GPU gave me the option to add the 3rd monitor. As far as the i3 F or non F, that is what i was asking if my GPU was compatible with a B660 mobo and i3-12100f since i know the F doesn't have OBG so keeping the GPU for that as long as it was compatible.

Hi all and thanks to everyone for the feedback/alternate options. I think I will keep what I have and just change the old 1TB spinning drive to a 2TB M.2. The board I have now Asus prime z30-p specs here support an additional M2 which I didn't think it did. I upgraded the RAM recently from 16...

Yes you're right and I do see your point of it not being seen as an upgrade but I recognize that I don't need an i5/i7 to do what I am doing either. I think the specs of the i3 are more than capable being newer tech as well and when I upgrade to WIN11. It is interesting to consider the i7-8700...

Hi, to get at your question, I use it for some work at home, running most MS office products, some editing with Visio, and MS project work along with some photo editing. Of course the usual internet surfing, research, YouTube, streaming, and so on. I realize I may have more specs than needed for...

Jacob, Thanks for verifying that. You're right, the mobos I'm looking at for now are in the $160-$185 range. Waiting may not be a good option in the current market with supply chain issues affecting most items. The boards on the specs for both H670/B660 list slots for PCIe 3.0 and 4.0 that is...

Disclaimer: I DO NOT use my computer for gaming. Hello, I am going to upgrade my current setup from i5-8400/Asus prime Z370-P to a B660 D4 mobo and i3-12100 or 12100f depending on whether my current GPU is compatible. That is a Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 6770 specs here and further specs here...

Thank you everyone. I think I'm going to keep things as is with the current card as mostly advised. That's the sensible thing to do anyway.

I was thinking about this also, just run it straight from the board. The current version I'm running on the gpu is 16.2.1 but it does not support AMD FreeSync. Would that be due to being considered legacy as you are referencing? Thanks.

Thanks.

I searched on the topic but most associations to the cpu are for gaming applications. I do not use my PC for gaming whatsoever, it is strictly for work, school, productivity, video teleconferencing. I know I do not need a high end gpu, I am trying to find a better balance. I have an AMD Radeon...
