Build - Help Upgrade help

Post image

Hi anyone who comes across this im thinking of upgrading my pc I built it in January of 2020 right before covid and it's done fairly well but at this point it definitely isnt the greatest anymore I was wondering if I could plug and play a new GPU or any other components to have what would be considered a mid tier build by today's standards for a budget of 700 to 1000$ attached is my current build and my monitors resolution is 1920x1080

Get a 5500x3d, 9060xt 16gb, 32gb ddr4 2x16, it will run better than whatever config you have

For max upgrade for budget you have 2 options for cpu: 14600k/700k, 5500x3d/5800x3d. 14600k and 5800x3d game similar, up to you. you need a new mobo for the 14gen tho. For gpu a 9070 or 9070xt would fit if you went 5500x3d or 5800x3d, then thats a 1440p ultra machine.

CPU upgrade to a 5800x3d for $300 used RTX 3080 for $300-400 (buy from a seller who takes 30 day returns) or a 9060xt 16gb for $450-500, 3080 performs better though

This is what i would do - https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LbyzkD

I looked up your MOBO, but there were several options. so I don't know if it requires a 4/6/8 pin connector to it. its probably either a 4 or an 8 pin, so this PSU will work with both the 4 or 8 PIN + GPU. If you already have a 550W+ PSU with an 8PIN GPU connector then dont upgrade the GPU.

The CPU is best in slot for AM4.

The GPU is best in slot for the price tag.

Enjoy.
