Hello

I built myself a gaming PC back in 2020 on a modest budget
This year I am wanting to upgrade the build and was after some thoughts on if I am making the right choices with my upgrades
Upgrades included CUP, GPU, SSD's and PSU

Do you think my new upgraded build will work well together?
Really appreciate your feedback/thoughts


Original build:
Gigabyte X570 Aorus elite wifi am4
Ryzen 7 3700x
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black edition
Evga GTX 2070 Super 8gb
G.Skill trident - 2x16gb, DDR4 3600
WD Blue M.2 SSD SATA 3 - 500gb + 1tb. (500gb for OS and 1tb for games)
Evga Supernova G3 650w gold
Fractal Design Define R6 Mid Tower


Upgrade version:

Make sure you're on the latest BIOS version before you drop that Ryzen 5000 series processor onto the board. You forgot to mention the make and model of your case. Also, that Hyper212 needs to be replaced with a 360mm AIO or a beefy air cooler, if you want to keep that processor under check. Outside of that, you're looking good.

Hi

Sorry the case is a: also updated the in the original post.
Fractal Design Define R6 Mid Tower

Ok good to know on the cooler as I was not sure about that
I looked online and it seemed some said the cooler worked fine for them but maybe not.

Yes I did already update the Bios to be prepared for the switch

Thanks
