Ok so this will be the second time around building a pc. The one I have now is 7 years old and I really feel like I need to upgrade the processor. Currently I have an
intel i5-3570k
16GB DDR3 Ram
GTX 1080
500GB Samsung 850 EVO
I was wanting to upgrade since black Friday is here and the prices look pretty good at my local micro center. I was just gonna keep using my GTX 1080. I do have a 600 watt bronze power supply.
1.Should I buy a new one with it being 7 years old or will it be fine?
2. I was considering upgrading to the NVMe drive for my hard drive. The read and write times are 4x as fast. Will I notice that big of a difference or should I just save my money and continue to use my 850 EVO?
3. Is the AMD 3800x the best one to get for the price point of $300? Is the PCIe 4.0 worth anything right now?
4. I have a cooler master 212 Evo. How hard will that be to get off my existing processor and put it on the new one?
5. Also when I upgrade my RAM. I was gonna go up to 32GB of DDR4 memory. Will it make a big difference going from DDR3 to DDR4? I know going up to 32GB wont make much considering most of the time I dont use all of the 16GB but its so cheap why not.
I was also considering the Intel 9700k but according to passmark the AMD seems to beat it. Not really sure on the motherboard. You guys have any suggestions?
