I'm looking to seriously upgrade my PC, with a new GPU, CPU and more RAM. Current Specs:
CPU: Intel Core i5 6500 Quad Core LGA 1151 3.2GHz
Hard Drive: Samsung 860 EVO & 2 TB 7200RPM
RAM: 8GB DDR3 1866MHz
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 3GB
Motherboard: Asus H170 - PLUS D3 LGA1151 ATX
Planned Upgrade:
GPU: RTX 2060 8GB / RX 5700 8GB
CPU: i5 9600KF 3.7GHz
Memory: ?
I was going to buy 16gb of DDR4 memory until I learned my motherboard only has 4 DDR3 slots. Is it worth getting a new motherboard just to get DDR4 memory? Will there be any noticeable difference, say between 1866 MHz DDR3 and 3200MHz DDR4?
