[davidbass1992]

So, I’m looking at upgrading platforms, and need some help determining if it’s worth it or not. Any advice will be helpful.

What I’m looking to get:
R5 2600
MSI b450 gaming plus mobo
T-force Vulcan 8gb ddr4 3000 (up to 16 in the future)
Arctic freezer 33 esports one heat sink
OR Hyper 212 evo
Cost: $360 (unless better Black Friday deals)

What I have:
I5 4570
12gb ddr3 ram
(Its oem, an HP envy pc)
Zotac 980 AMP
Evga 650 bronze power supply (not certain maybe 700watt)

Thanks in advance!

no need for the 3rd party cooler, stock is really good. My take:

Adding extra stick of ram may not work in the future, get 16 now. 2600 and 980 can handle 1080p ~100+ fps gaming with suitable settings.

Would the ASRock Mobo be able to handle over clocks in the future, one of the reasons I went with an aftermarket cooler. And possible upgrade path in the future?

yes, the pro4 has pretty good vrm to overclock 2600. You can get a better MB like tomahawk or B450-F if you like.

I don't really think it's worth the cost, are you having FPS issues with your games currently?

Bf1 I could get 50-60fps medium/high settings
AC Odessey (I understand it's a CPU demanding title) 40-50 max on low/medium. And seeing GPU stay around 85% usage.

I see, so yea the build vapour recommended is good and the stock CPU cooler is just as effective as lower end coolers such as the Evo 212, save up and get something considerably better such as the Be Quiet Dark Rock 4.
