This is my current equipment;
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X
CPU cooler : Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE ( I bought it afterward)
GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 1650 GAMING X 4G
Drive (system): Crucial 480GB BX500 SARA 2.5-inch SSD
Drive (Media): Internal: SAMSUNG EVO 970 Plus M.2 NVMe SSD (this piece I upgraded afterward)
external: Western Digital My Book 4TB (I bought it afterward)
RAM: 4* Ballistix Crucial Sport LT 8GB DDR4
Motherboard: Gigabyte B450 AORUS ELITE Socket AM4 (rev. 1.0)
PSU: Cooler Master Elite V3-600W
Case: Cooler Master MasterBox K500L ATX Mid Tower Case
The AMD Ryzen 7 2700X was damaged and I Will replace it with Ryzen 7 5800x
I know that my GPU GTX 1650 will be bottleneck and will not allow me to access the full potential of the Ryzen 7 5800x
But I will not upgrade it now
My questions are:
1. Will all components be compatible?
2. what is essential to upgrade with this CPU and all the considerations of compatibility and upgrade path like considering BIOS update of the B450 motherboard ?
3. Will I need to upgrade my PSU: Cooler Master Elite V3-600W with the CPU to avoid damages? If yes, What is considered good choice to upgrade given I will probably upgrade my GPU to RTX 3060 Later ?
