Hey Guys,
My pc has been having major issues lately and i need some recommendations on upgrades.
I need to upgrade my CPU cooler as the one i currently have doesn't cool that well and sounds like the bearing is now a cube
Also hoping to upgrade my GPU as my main game (fiveM) uses all 8gb of my video memory and still only get like 60 fps
Here's my part list, would really appreciate the help!

Hey Guys,
My pc has been having major issues lately and i need some recommendati...
is that your current build?
what's the budget
fallow summit
yeah sounds fine to me, ive personally never built a pc but all that stuff is fine
stiff summit
yeah my current build, budget is like $1,500 aud ish
mint flax
1500 for a cooler and GPU?
fallow summit
2080 super should be fine
mint flax
I think he already has the 2080
mint flax
that list is his current build
mint flax
1,500 is quite a lot of a upgrade
fallow summit
yeah
im still working on my first pc, i got a graphics card and a motherboard so far
stiff summit
1,500 is quite a lot of a upgrade
Yeah but i've looked around a little and i cant see a decent upgrade on my GPU for under $1,000
mint flax
do you want to go overkill and push the budget or stay reasonable
stiff summit
try and stay reasonable, especially as i can hopefully keep the case, cpu, psu and other things
firs i need a decent CPU cooler thats quiet
and any other upgrades y'all can think of from my current build list
mint flax
I would suggest those upgrades
the rest seems fine as is
wait
wrong list
@stiff summit
stiff summit
oh awesome
thank you
never heard of the company
but i assume the 6900XT is decent?
mint flax
it's among the best of amd
be best one is the 6900 xtx
which is basically like the ti version
it's about 300~ more
that's why I asked if you wanted to go overkill because it's within your budget but the cpu would most likely become a bottleneck
stiff summit
yeah i kinda assumed once i upgrade my GPU that my CPU will bottleneck
as i have no idea where it ranks in performance
mint flax
6900 xt is about a 3080 in performance
you could get the 7900 xt which is a gen up
but it's also more expensive
and the cpu would bottleneck
mint flax
that's more expensive than it should be
it should be around 930$ aud
prices seem to be inflated for you
stiff summit
stiff summit
1,225 + 250 for shipping, jesus christ lmao
apparently i can get a 4070ti fro the same price of the 6900Xt
mint flax
yeah, they should be the same in price
at around 900$ aud
the 6900 xt has 16 gb of vram while the 4070 has 12 gb
stiff summit
sweet, thanks man
ill try and keep looking around for 6900xt
but my god some of these prices arent making sense
6900xt is the most expensive card in this row HAHA
mint flax
that's more than it costed brand new when it came out
inflated ass prices
this is COVID level inflation
stiff summit
yeah idk whats going on
australia is fucked
@mint flax this is the cheapest AMD card i could find around
mint flax
it's still overpriced
mint flax

also isn't this cheaper
mint flax
yeah but an extra $50 and i get a 7900XT with 20gb vram
true
if you want to then go for it
stiff summit
yeah i might, i dont see anything cheaper around
atleast nothing worth upgrading to
stiff summit
yeah right
mint flax
mint flax
yeah i might, i dont see anything cheaper around
I mean at least it's below msrp
stiff summit
i hate that
but i might just go for it
@mint flaxalso do you have any other cooler recommdations from this list?
mint flax
noctua is best cooler company though they're a bit pricey
stiff summit
well this company have quite a bit of noctua fans
mint flax
the Noctua nh-d15 is probably one of the best air coolers, though it's a bit overkill for you cpu
stiff summit
this one?
mint flax
it's a blacked out version, the same cooler though
same performance
make sure it fits in your case, it can interfere with your ram and side panel
stiff summit
pcpartpicker says not compatibility issues
mint flax
alright
