Question i7 3770 with RX VEGA 56

[WillianLozano]

Is my i7 3770 going to bottleneck or whatever with the Vega 56 or is it a good match? I want to play on a 144hz 1080p FreeSync monitor

Here is all my specs:

Cooler: Rosewill unknown cooler lmao
GPU: GTX 1060 6GB WINDFORCE OC
Storage: 1tb western blue, 120GB SSD A400 and 500gb hdd western blue
Case: Shitty old acer case

Is that 1080p, 144Hz ? I think it will depend on the type of game you are playing. Some games are more CPU-bound, whereas others are not. Overall, you shouldn't be facing any serious bottleneck issues, at least in my opinion.

Yes 1080p

You are going to need a bigger better PSU that 450w unit is not going to power a Vega 56. You'll need a good quality 650w unit. You'll also likely need a new case with good airflow to keep it cool.

Is that good? And are you sure there is no bottleneck and it will be a good duo?

IMHO those 120mm CLC coolers are a waste of money. You can get a better air cooler cheaper and spend the saved cash on a better PSU. The CX650 is a decent budget option but with a demanding card like the Vega 56 you don't really want a budget PSU.

I only have a giftcard balance of 1035$ on amazon.ca, and they only offer the

• Cryorig H7 Plus Dual Fan Tower Cooler

But they got everything else, and are you sure i dont need the fan hub?

 

[bignastyid]

I didn't include the fan hub because they didn't list it on pc partpicker. But for the fans you'd need the controller , a couple fan splitters or molex adapters.

Cant I just use the fan hub? And so should i get the

?

And are you sure the cooler wont interfere with the ram on my mobo and it can fit in the case?

It'll fit and won't interfere with ram.

It'll fit and won't interfere with ram.

So you are sure the RX Vega 56 is not going to bottleneck or anything?
