Hi guys, hope all is well
I built this PC approx 1 year ago, and am thinking of doing some upgrades to it. Its all purely for gaming:
Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS ATX AM4 Motherboard
AMD Ryzen 7 3800X 3.9 GHz 8-Core Processor
Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER 8 GB WINDFORCE OC 3X Video Card
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 CL15 Memory
Western Digital Blue 500 GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive
Toshiba P300 3 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
SeaSonic FOCUS 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
Corsair 275R Airflow ATX Mid Tower Case
used on a 1080P projector, hoping to upgrade to a 4k porjector/tv at some point in future (current one sounds like it might die soon). also want to put in some more RAM as RAM usage seems to be very high sometimes (e.g. playing horizon)
Im thinking of upgrading the following parts:
processor to Ryzen 9 5900x (or perhaps 5950x)
rtx 3080 (when I can get hold of one)
add in 2x 16gb of the lpx vengeance 3000 RAM, and have 48gb total.
budget thinking: 100-200 for the ram, 500ish for the processor, and whatever I can for the gpu (may have to wait for whenever GPU market sorts itself out).
UK based
no overclocking
would prefer to buy from nearly any reputable mainstream seller (not ebay for e.g.)
q's: PC part picker says this as a warning for 5950 and 5900 (not for the 3950 or 3900): "Some AMD X570 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Vermeer CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions. " Is this a problem?
650W PSU should be fine here according to part picker and a few other PSU checkers I had a look at, anyone agree/disagree?
if anyone prefers this: current build: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/SH3RAZ/saved/#view=d7sgBm
prospective build: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/SH3RAZ/saved/#view=YZXN6h
Thanks very much
