Ram: 16gb Not sure sadly of speed etc but I have a picture from the task manager tab https://prnt.sc/se7r2j
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 six core 3200 mhz 6 cores FAN: Came with the cpu
GPU: GIGABYTE RTX 2080
MB: B450 TOMAHAWK

I think the build is ok. But I don't get it why 5 1600, when you have a monster RTX 2080!
A 1080 ti or super would have been better I think.

You're right its very overkill however some young lad local to me put it up for sale and I got it for £400! Brand new unopened, couldn't miss that up so I do wonder if am missing out on a lot with a 1080p monitor and a bad CPU

Very unbalanced build. Ditch the 2080, save a few hundred bucks!! You have a 1080p 60hz monitor. Pick up a 2060 or 1660ti or even a 5600xt. Not sure about the choice of a Ryzen 1600. You can get a much better performing 2600 for not much more. That RAM is trash! Need minimum 3000mhz unless you stay with the 1600. A 2600x and 3200mhz RAM with a 1660ti will be levels above what you have for less money.

Need to know actual make and model of that PSU.

Thanks for the great reply, the PSU is an "AreoCool Integrator 700w 12cm PSU 80 Certified Quiet Fan",
Also if I buy a 2600x and the suitable ram with it is it fair to keep the 2080? I play demanding games and future proofs for when I upgrade again.

Quick update my ram is "Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4 3000 MHz" is something broken if im not getting the full potential out of it?

Enable XMP in BIOS.

Enable XMP in BIOS.

in advanced options the option is not their to boot bios and I think this could be a issue https://prnt.sc/se95u2

Make sure the RAM is slots a2-b2

Yeah double checked and it is

1st gen Ryzen RAM will operate at 2666mhz. Try setting that in BIOS

I can't seem to enter bios I follow instructions online and the option is not their and I believe its due to my "legacy" mode I'm not too sure

Yes very much so, because you're only going to be experiencing 60fps with a card that can get well over double that on most games at 1080p

Even better value would be 1600AF (assuming the one he has is the 14nm version) when or if it ever comes back down to about £80.

The best upgrade right now would be a better monitor. I'd look for a 1440p/144hz monitor to make use of the 2080.

You could upgrade the cpu if you wanted, but I wouldn't spend the money right now. I'd wait until it actually becomes a limiting factor, as it's not right now. Sure there are better cpus, but your current is fine.

The monitor would be a fantastic upgrade and let the system really shine!

Thanks everyone ill put my money towards a better monitor however is the RAM something I should worry about and the bios in legacy etc?
