[SOLVED] Is it worth upgrading my build?

[Gillfreex]

Hey again,

Posted the other day but due to one of my part lists being private I wasn't able to get an answer. Hopefully I've sorted that now!

I was wondering if this is a worthy upgrade? How much difference will I notice?

I use autocad, Photoshop, I play games like: wow, the witcher, csgo and dota2. I also edit a lot of clips.

Thanks for reading

r5 3600 will perform better than 4690k across the board. That said though 4000 series ryzen chips will release this year so if you can wait I'd go for those.
Also why are you changing your psu? Your current one should be perfectly fine (unless you're having problems with it). Memory upgrade will definitely help your fps in gaming.

The Ryzen 3600 is a significantly more powerful then the 4690k

Here are a few changes I made to you list. Removed the cooler as the stock AMD cooler is more then enough for stock speeds as well as minor overclock also upgraded your PSU to 650 watts as its a safer bet these days incase you want to upgrade to a more powerful GPU

And unless you are really sold on that case IMO there are better and small mATX cases on the market such as the https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product...lv-tg-gray-atx-mini-tower-case-ph-es314etg_ag


You may also wan to consider the NZXT H1 case, it comes with a PSU and AIO cooler and is one slick little computer case https://www.overclockers.co.uk/nzxt...o-and-psu-white-tempered-glass-ca-1ak-nx.html

Oh great, I'll look into that!
Well, if I were to upgrade I'd be selling my old pc to my friend, as it's a huge upgrade for him.
I have noticed that my fps is getting stuck at 144...maybe that's why

Awesome, thanks a lot!

I do really like the case, but I did have a look at the NZXT H1 and it looks bloody impressive, just a bit worried about the pricing of it!

It does include a good power supply and a AIO cooler. You will however need an itx size motherboard.
