Help with upgrade decision

[wferrante09]

My build is
-Ryzen 5 2600X
-RX 480 4GB
-MSI X470 Gaming Plus
-Corsair Vengeance 16GB ddr4 3000 memory
-Kingston 240GB SSD
This is a build I'm currently working on but don't know if I should upgrade my Rx 480 4GB to something better.
I checked a GPU check website with this GPU and CPU and the numbers were in the 30-60 mark.

Last question I swear lol.
Will this build be able to run AAA games at high - ultra at what framerate do you think?

All good!

At 2560x1080 I would think a mix of High-Med settings would keep you around the 60-75hz mark. Ultra may lower you FPS a bit but you should still stay within that Freesync range so it will be pretty smooth.

2560 x 1080 is the resolution of the LG 29" monitor right

Yup, there's also a 34" version which is massive and is about the same height vertically as your 27" 16:9. The 29" is close to a 24" 16:9.

If I seem like I'm pushing a 21:9 monitor on you I'm sorry, however they are freaking awesome! Especially in games like the Witcher 3, Destiny 2 (free on Blizzard App until 11/18/18), WoW, WoWs, Diablo 3, Hellblade, BnS, BF4/BF1 and plenty of other games. Some games such as Overwatch don't support it but Blizzard did that on purpose (stating it gave players an advantage peripherally), there other games do support 21:9.

Ok, this build is a very big upgrade for me because I'm going from an FX CPU to a Ryzen 2nd gen, the X470 motherboard is better than my current M5 A97 R2.0, more ram and of course an SSD so I'm pretty stoked. I was originally planning on getting a 1070 TI but I don't have an arm and a leg to spend on it.

I just saw a video that said when you install the ram/memory, it's not the amount that it says it is. So if you get 3000mhz memory speed and install it into your PC it won't be 3000mhz unless you overclock, is this true? I don't know too much about this stuff

Also, I'm a bit confused about the SSD and if I need specific wires or something to install it right when I get it

You typically need to enable XMP in the BIOS, although for Ryzen it may require a manual tweak. As for the SSD you have two different options (1) Get a M.2 SSD and connect it directly to the motherboard or (2) get a SATA SSD which will require a SATA data cable and a SATA power cable that comes directly from the PSU. The data cable connects the SSD to the motherboard.

Also saw your newer post, I would go RX 480+Freesync over 1060 6gb+No Freesync but I'll let someone else answer so you can get multiple opinions.
