Your system as configured is basically an office computer.
  • What are the intended upgrades for?
  • Are you trying to make a gaming system from it?
  • Why did you buy the Noctua cooler?
  • Why do you need a 3900x?
  • What is your budget for upgrades?
 
Yes, Gaming on at least 1080p (limited by monitor). I want to update it a bit 2400G was making me trouble from the beginning... it is still making BSOD etc. Noctua I got for free, to be honest, I just need to buy a mounting kit for AM4. Budget not exceeding 800 GBP.
