Question PC Upgrade - What should I upgrade? 5600X, 6700XT, 32GB 3200, 1TB SSD

[BrainY]

Fractal Design Define R4
MSI B550M PRO-VDH
OCZ TRION 150 960 GB SSD
G.SKILL TridentZ Series F4-3200C16D-32GTZKW
Ryzen 5 5600X
MSI RX 6700 XT
Seasonic FOCUS GM-750

What to upgrade first? I'm running in 1440P.

You are kind of balanced now. Is there something you’re noticing that’s prompting the upgrade or just itching to upgrade? 6700xt should be ok for 1440p but a higher class card could do it better. On the other hand you could hold onto the gpu a bit longer and upgrade the platform.

I feel like my CPU is peaking quite a bit in games and have shut down several background software to prevent it. For GPU, I think I'm doing "ok" (that was my last upgrade from a GTX 1070)

You could always go new platform. I mean you could pick up a 5700/5800x3d but on the other hand if you’re spending 200+ on a cpu then how much to go full upgrade? If you wanted a value upgrade for 2 extra cores, you could go 5700x for under 200.

If you live near microcenter they have a 7800x3d deal with a board and 32gb of ram for 500. They have the same deal with the 7700x for 400. So a couple of options.

picked up this Combo for 360,00 https://www.microcenter.com/product...ies-32gb-ddr5-6000-kit,-computer-build-bundle

and 4070 for 530.00 https://www.microcenter.com/product...ed-dual-fan-12gb-gddr6x-pcie-40-graphics-card

Kids love it

Wherever you buy have them price match it, I have a Microcenter 20 mins from me. They will price match Amazon= Newegg =B$H =best buy etc.

Might look, they’ve got the 7900 gre for 550. Only thing with the 4070 is down the road as games get more advanced will it saturate the 12gb vram?

 

[ohio_buckeye]

Have a look, the 7900 gre actually matches close to the 4070 super.

Though I just saw this 7900xt at my local Microcenter’s site for 539. I think if it was me I’d roll with that.

that links a 7800xt M8

 

[ohio_buckeye]

7800xt mb? The title says they are benching the 7900gre vs 4070 super. I think they used a 7800x3d in their test pc.

Anyway here’s another review.

Nvidia's RTX 4070 has been an excellent GPU, but it has stiff new competition in the form of AMD's RX 7900 GRE.

Sorry no you typed a 7900xt for 539 , The links for a 7800xt, ID even go back on my word and go AMD for 539 for a 7900xt

 

[ohio_buckeye]

Oh I get what you’re saying. Must have misread.

In that case 7900 gre for 550.

https://www.microcenter.com/product...g-triple-fan-16gb-gddr6-pcie-40-graphics-card

If you did want to save a little here’s the 7800xt at 500. At my microcenter they’ve got a 7800xt dual fan for 490.

But if you have 20 bucks I’d definitely at least look at the 7900gre.

They have a RX 7900XT for $729 might be worth a look
