Upgrading from an AMD A10-6800K build, using some old parts from it.
I almost am done. I just need ram, to get it going. My laptop has 3200MHz ram, so I want at least that speed. Looking at two 8GB sticks? Then getting two more in the future? Meeting that criterion, what works best with my mobo?
Also, using the Kingston as a boot drive. But the mobo has M.2. What is the difference between M.2 and NVMe? Can I use an NVMe drive, like the Samsung SN810 in my mobo? If not, what do you recommend?
And for GPU.... I had an RX 560 but not anymore. GTX 1080Ti are about 250 in my area, is that good with a 5600G? I know newer cards are RTX, but I think I can live without it.
Also, what is my weak link? I am using some older parts, some pretty old. I'm a little used to and desensitized to lack of speed from the old A10 😅.
I included everything (I think necessary) about what I have. Feel free to ask anything.
