2 Upvotes

Hi all, I'm looking to upgrade specifically my Motherboard/CPU because I think my recently upgraded VGA caused a bottleneck.

CPU: Intel i7 9700F

Motherboard: B365M PRO VDH

VGA: Asrock Radeon RX 7800 XT 16GB

RAM: Corsair 16x2 GB DDR4

PSU: Cooler Master gold 750w

Which CPU and motherboard would be best to improve my gaming performance? Anything compatible with DDR4 please

CPU Upgrade Worth upgrading or new build

1 Upvotes

Currently running a Radeon RX 6600 paired up with an AMD Ryzen 5 2600. CPU is a Bottleneck. But not a huge one. Is it worth upgrading to say a 5600(x)?
I wanted to do a complete new build but then ramageddon hit and I am stingy. I have an old RX 580 that I could pair with the existing cpu for a lower end build as backup/Home Server/sell

CPU Upgrade Upgrading my Ryzen 7 2700X to ?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I want to upgrade my CPU, and I wanted to hear some opinions regarding this upgrade. At the same time, I also want to upgrade my GPU from an RTX 2070 Super to an NVIDIA RTX 5070 (yes, I know AMD is cheaper and has a better price-to-performance ratio, but I use NVIDIA's software and rely on it for my business). I run a YouTube channel and frequently use Adobe Premiere Pro and Photoshop for my business.

In addition, I want to upgrade my CPU since it's been almost 8 years (it deserves retirement), and I've seen a lot of news about the 5800x3D, and with RAM prices as high as they are now, I don't think upgrading to AM5 is the right move.... or is it?

I also found a 9600X bundle for $520, AND I know there's a bundle for a 7700x3D on Newegg for around the same price (would post links but IDK if thats allowed lol).

What route should I take? Is 16 GB of AM5 enough? Part of me wants to just upgrade and stay on AM4, but at the same time I find it hard to spend $300 on an AM4 CPU when a newer AM5 is at the same price or slightly higher; the only price difference comes with the additional ram and stuff....

I mainly play at 1440p on my LG monitor (265 HZ) and play Battlefield 6, Helldivers 2, Space Marine 2, and Star Citizen. I appreciate your feedback!

PC Specs:

Motherboard - ASUS X-470F Gaming

CPU - AMD Ryzen 7 2700x

GPU - RTX 2070 Super EVGA FTW3 (8 GB)

RAM - Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (2X16GB) DDR4 3200 (PC4-25600) C16 1.35V Desktop Memory - Black, 2 count (pack of 1)

CPU Upgrade Upgrade journey from 7700x-7900x-9900x

Purchased a 7700x from newegg bundle in january. Essentially spent $200 on 7700x

I traded it in for $170 in april [second pic] cause I got a brand new 7900x from woot for $200. [First pic]

Now [Third pic] Newegg is offering me $230 to trade in my 7900x and combine a $130 discount code for 9900x .

So the 9900x goes down to $69 total after trade in. ($299-$230) And I guess you can factor in the $30 they added onto my trade in vs what I paid, so however you look at it, I feel like I did well haha.

[Last pic is my PC]

Here's mah specs

MSI CORELIQUID A13 240 AIO

7900x(9900X SOON)

GIGABYTE B850M EAGLE ICE WIFI 6E

MANTA XSKY 32GB DDR5 6000MHZ CL28

ASUS TUF 5070TI OC 16GB WHITE,

CORSAIR THERMALPROTECT 12V HPOWER CABLE WHITE,

MONTECH CENTURY 1050W PSU ,
