These are the PC specs:

Ryzen 5 5600x
Msi b550 gaming plus with wifi adapter
Gtx 1070ti (stillplays new games well on medium/high)
32gb ram corsair vengeance
Hyte y60 with screen upgrade
Corsair link fans
1tb nvme wd
750 watt psu
Corsair k70 keyboard
Corsair m65 ultra wireless mouse
Acer 1080p monitor 27 inch

I told him the 1070ti isn't very good, but he said he plans on upgrading that, but I don't know which one I can recommend Cause his power supply is 750 watts and it's also older he doesn't have that much money, He said he can get a 3060, but $400 for 3060 It's crazy. Graphics cards right now are outrageous on price

so I'm asking this for him.

Would it be a good trade for a PS5 pro or not ?
Secondly if it's a good trade, what graphics card would you put in it, he's only going to be running 1080p unless he upgrades later.

Trade:
PC <-> PS5.

The actual performance is a wash between the two.

Might he be doing something besides just playing games?
If so, having the PC is beneficial.

I have no idea what that means. Would you trade or not trade? And if so, what gpu would you put in it with how the pc is so up (not upgrading gpu).
He said he wants to trade because later down the road He wants to maybe stream and do some graphic design and he wants to be able to use steam because steam has better games than the PS5.

He has the PS5.
He is looking to trade for the PC?

It is an OK system.

Does it play the games he wants to play?

He has the the PS5 pro, he said he wants to trade for a computer. I asked him why? And he said, because he wants to be able to stream
And then later down the road, he wants to do graphic design possibly, and he wants to be able to get games off of steam and play games off steam. One game in particular was sons of the forest he likes that game for some reason, This is the only one that he showed me that it might be worth it. The other ones are horrible that he's had offers on.

Then it looks like he needs a PC!

The only question is....will that PC meet his needs?
Probably.

personally its a decent trade theres some headroom for upgrades.

gpu is biggest upgrade. needing.

best gpu for price atm is

[td]Radeon RX 9060 XT 16gb.

should be fine for 1080p

if he pairs it with a 5700x3d down the line ( last real gaming chip for that board).
with a aio or 6 heatpipe air cooler. that be really all it needs. if hes streaming etc 5900x instead but needs tweaking and from my own experiance owning it needs to be put on a aio and voltage tweaked.

Couldn't he go to the 5800X3D later down the road, that's what i have on my B550 motherboard ?

God no. The 1070Ti is a bad card now and is being driven into the floor by nvidia and don’t have long left in terms of support if it hasn’t been dropped already.

What ram exactly is included, and what PSU?

TBH, I have more or less the same system, but my GPU is a 4070 Super. However, I game at 1440p. So my CPU doesn't hold back the GPU too much if at all. Some games yes. At 1080p, yes, the CPU will not push a modern GPU to it's max.

With all of that said, the 5600x doesn't have enough cores to stream. You would need to upgrade the CPU either way if streaming is high priority.

I don't stream, and a lot of games will push my CPU to 80%+ usage during gaming. No power left to stream.

It's a decent gaming system but nothing more.

I'd prob stick with the PS5 Pro over what it will take to get that system as performant as the PS5 Pro.

Maybe sell the PS5 Pro, and put some money together for a proper mid-range current system. Will give much more options for CPU and longevity.

Edit: Also which exact monitor? If it's some bog standard 60hz panel with no VRR, then it's not worth the plastic it's built with.
 
You could go with something like this as a base system. Upgradeable on many fronts.

Selll the PS5 Pro, put £$€300 or so, and you have an excellent system that will stream and game, at higher resolutions, and is completely upgradeable for better CPU/GPU down the line.

Why did they discontinue the 5800x3d it's a great chip
Click to expand...

5800x3d was always a limited run.

They were chips that didn't make 5800x clocks. As less defects happened with those particular chips they didn't make alot of 5800x3d.

5700x3d are basically chips that they couldn't clock to a 5800x3d once the supply of these defected chips is gone there won't be much of these either
