Hi,
I built my first PC in January 2016 and I'd like to upgrade my CPU from a i7-6700K to a Ryzen 9 5900X (and corresponding motherboard). My build has an EVGA P2 750 W 80+ Platinum PSU and the following RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 32 GB (4 x 8 GB) DDR4-2400. Given their age, should I get a new PSU (with a higher wattage) and new, faster RAM? I know my 32GB RAM was overkill at the time but it was a good deal. I'm going to keep my RTX 2060 (regular, not super) for now and upgrade once prices come down in the next year or more (hopefully!). I'm planning on buying a new case and cooler and use my current SSD's and HDD's. I back up my files on a relatively new external HDD so I'm not too concerned about my HDD age, though maybe I should be?
Thanks for any help with this!
