So I have very little idea what I'm doing when it comes to picking good parts. I can figure out compatibility but who knows if what I pick will result in a good system lol. I built my PC a year or so ago just to upgrade from my crappy AIO and to play WOW. It has worked great for that, but now I'm playing some FPS games and need to change a few things. I know the best thing to upgrade would be the GPU but with the incredibly inflated prices that's out of the question at the moment. The main goal is to be able to play games at a decent level and record occasionally too, I wont be streaming.
Currents parts list:
CPU - AMD Athlon 200GE 3.2GHz Dual-Core
Motherboard - ASRock B450M Pro4
RAM - Vulcan 8GB (2x4GB) DDR4-3000
GPU - AMD Radeon RX550
PSU - Corsair CXM 550W 80+ Bronze.
So since GPU is out of the question for now, I was looking at upgrading the CPU and RAM. For RAM I was looking at either Hyperx Fury 8GB (2x4gb) or HyperX 16GB (2x8gb), both DDR4-3000. Could I add the 2x8gb to my 2x4gb to have 24gb total or would I have to remove the 2x4gb? This is the areas I have no idea whats what. Or should I just throw in the 2x8gb and have 16gb and call it a day?
For the CPU I was looking at either the Ryzen 3 3100 3.6 GHZ Quad-Core, the Ryzen 5 1600 3.2GHz 6-Core, or the Ryzen 5 2600 3.4GHz 6-Core. Mainly trying to get the best I can for under $200 but again, not sure what to look for.
Thanks for the help yall.
