My PC is in need of an update (used for gaming and photo editing), think I built it back in 2017…


Hi! Having signed for for XBOX game pass for PC to play Forza I'm noticing my PC struggling a little and crashing occassionaly during the game. I want to upgrade it a notch and need advice on best way pls.
Currently have:
Ryzen 5 2600
Arctic freeZer e33 cooler
GeForce GTX 1060 6Gb OC GPU
MSI B450 tomahawk mobo
16Gb DDR4 RAM 3000MHz RAM x 2
750W seasonic PSU
Acer nitro monitor (240Hz, 1ms)

Playing Fortnite for example I’m getting:
GPU: 67C, 100%, 1936Mhz,
MEM: 4007 MhZ
~50-60fps.
Everything’s up to date.

looking at spending less than 700 bucks. Thanks

Think it has to do with the fact that XMP firstly was Intel and others wouldn't pay for the use of it on AMD platform (not sure about money being involved) , something like that, so they contructed their own way to implement the profiles on the AMD platforms. Those were DOCP/EOCP or AMP. Think that A-XMP is likely MSI's name for the last one combined with XMP, maybe only just to be abit different, can't really say for sure.

Some extra info about "who is who" by Tradesman1 who likely is one of the people who knew most about ram here,
