So...I built a PC about 5 months ago and from the first day was unstable.XMP profile(3.200MHz 16-16-16-38) causes numerous crashes and Bsods during heavy gaming and even with 2.133MHz the system isn't completely stable.
I performed multiple stress tests for every single component and everything did fine individually but the combination is unstable.
Current specs:
B450 Aorus Pro
G.Skill Ripjaws 3.200MHz 2x8GB
Ryzen 5 2600X never manually OC
Arctic Freezer Esports Duo
1660Ti Gaming X
Samsung 970 Evo Plus 500GB
Crucial MX500 1TB
EVGA G3 550W
CoolerMaster MB520 RGB
I wanted to keep it for about 1.5-2 years and then update to 3rd or 4th Gen Ryzen but it's instability forces me to change the motherboard,CPU and RAMs now.I'm not the kind of guy who's gonna spend hours/days looking for a possible solution and i have the budget to make an upgrade that i wanted to do either way.
New hypothetical specs:
MSI MPG X570 Gaming Pro Carbon
Ryzen 5 3600 or X (Probably the non-X because a 5-6% benchmark for 30€ isn't worth)
Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 3.200MHz 2x8GB
Do i need to replace the PSU too? Is the G3 enough to power this probably more demanding Motherboard? I know that the answer is probably no but i want to be 100% sure.
And is that combination good enough for a potential big GPU upgrade? For example from the 1660Ti to a 2070 Super.
