Hello!
I think the time has come to upgrade my pc because it has started having trouble coping with gaming and all that
My current setup is this:
CPU: Ryzen 5 2600
MoBo: Asus x470 F-Gaming
RAM: G.Skill Trident Z RGB 16GB DDR4 3200MHz (F4-3200C14D-16GTZRX)
GPU: ASUS ROG STRIX 1080Ti OC
Storage: 1 M.2 1TB Samsung, and 2 1TB SSDs (1 Western Digital Blue and 1 Samsung Evo 870)
I think my GPU is more than adequate enough, especially in this market so I was thinking of upgrading one of three ways:
1) Go for VFM options and get a Ryzen 3600X/3700X/3800X, possibly with an X570 motherboard like MSI MPG X570 Gaming Plus
2)Go with a somewhat higher budget and grab a Ryzen 5800X with an X570-plus ASUS TUF Gaming motherboard
3) Switch teams and go with an Intel CPU/mobo comp to be decided
If I go for option 1 I could possibly get another 16GB of RAM to get to 32GB instead of upgrading to X570, but I am not sure if the performance boost from the 2600 to a 3600X/3800X will be markedly significant and hence worth the upgrade. I also do not want to have to upgrade my CPU again in a couple of years
Going Intel is something of a last resort solution, solely on the condition of similar performance for a significantly lower price
I would really like to hear some opinions on this and maybe some suggestions I have not considered
Edit: Also forgot to mention, system currently works on dual 24" FHD screens at 144HZ 1ms
