Hello all,
I am looking to upgrade my gaming desktop at home within the next few months.
https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/tGpYKB
The link provided above is what I have as of now.
My main focuses are the CPU and GPU. Have my eyes set on the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X for CPU and AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 for GPU.
My concerns are whether an upgrade on the PSU is required? I have read that some people say 550w would still do fine, some saying that is pushing toward the limit and some say that is just waiting for disaster to happen. If an upgrade is needed, would 650w be fine or should I play it safe and go for 750w? Also, I think (not that knowledgeable with motherboards at all) my motherboard isn’t compatible with 3rd gen AMD CPUs, would it be a good investment to look for a 3rd gen AMD ready motherboard or should I wait till later on?
I guess what I am trying to inquire for here is if anyone could provide some information on the questions I have and also if any experts could share some insights on whether I should wait for any particular releases in the near future to then make my decision (any suggestions on parts are also welcomed!).
In the case that it matters, I reside in east coast of Canada and my budget for overall upgrade is around $1000-$1500 Canadian dollars (wouldn’t mind going slightly over since I am not in a rush for the upgrade and would be able to save up more as time go on).
Thank you all for the help in advance
