[SOLVED] Upgrading cpu

[VenciiXD]

I gonna be upgrading to a r5 3600 with mobo gigabyte b450m gaming and a 16 ram 3200Mhz with a 500 psu.My gpu is 1050 ti and im going to stick with it for at least 10 more months until i upgrade it.
Im asking are there gonna be serious lag spikes?(I have a 144hz monitor)
The games that i will mostly be playing are fortnite, lol , cs and wow.

Well there's a more important question what is the brand and model of your PSU?

 

[VenciiXD]

My psu is Makki 550W PFC

 

[AngelTech]

Alright bad sign, what country are you from? As to why I need the name of your country, is to see if we can get you a better PSU as that no name brand worries me, due to no name brands usually not able to hit the watts they advertise consistently.

Well i can get a new one like be quiet! PURE POWER B9 350W

[AngelTech]

Is there any online tech website Bulgaria has so I can take a look at what you guys have?

 

[VenciiXD]

We have www.desktop.bg , www.plasico.bg , www.gplay.bg , www.emag.bg and www.ardes.bg those are the most trusted sites in Bulgaria

Amazon.de or Alternate are EU stores that may ship to Bulgaria.

There's also

Edit: oops, sorry, the post didn't refresh so I didn't see @VenciiXD had replied. Was taking a while to find the PSU section as I don't speak Bulgarian and cannot read Cyrillic, and google translate was being slow(!).

Alright what is your budget in your currency?

 

[VenciiXD]

Its 750 lv (лв)thats like 400 dollars

Efficient PSU
Decent GPU upgrade that should be within budget
I apologize if I misunderstood you.

I don't think that gives enough for the CPU, mobo, RAM, and a PSU on top, looking at prices on Ardes.

Mobo is about 200, CPU 430, the RAM ~180.

(for the RAM - make sure to buy 2 x8gb, not 1 x 16gb so that you have the RAM in dual channel).

You could save up some more and do the upgrade when you have the money for a PSU too. It could be less effort than having to swap a PSU out and re-cable the system after your upgrade.

A goods budget PSU with room for up
520W Seasonic SS-520GB (115 lv)
550W Corsair CV (115 lv)

Well in ardes the things are a big overpriced thats why i chose to get the components from plasico.
Mobo , cpu and ram. Everything makes tha price arround 730. For the psu do i really need a good expensive psu to run those parts. If yes that's gonna be a problem because im selling my older parts (and i got a customer who i need to send the parts in like 3 days) and with the money i get from them i will buy those new components.So i will be on 0 after i buy them and i wont have money to get a new psu...

 

[Oussebon]

The concern is that a lower quality PSU could damage components, either over time, or with a sudden failure.

You don't need an 80+ gold-rated PSU costing an arm and a leg, but it would be sensible to try to get a decent PSU from a respectable brand as soon as you can reasonably afford it. e.g. the Seasonic or Corsair ones I mentioned above.

 

[VenciiXD]

Well that's really unfortunate for me. Because those parts are 400$, the gpu I wanted to buy right after the upgrade is gtx 1660 super, which is arround 350$ and now I learned that I have to save at least 100 $ for a good psu and then buy the gpu.
It's gonna be a nightmare saving all that money.

 

[VenciiXD]

But thanks for all the answers

Definitely better to wait until you can afford the PSU before getting the video card. You don't want a poor-quality video card to risk doing damage to your new GPU.
