Pc upgrade for black friday

[median palm]

Hello, im looking for a new CPU, ddr5 mobo and ddr5 ram, the cpu needs to be good for the 2060 i dont have a very specific budget but something not too expensive that will run fortnite and other games smoothly at 1080p i currently have (i5-8600k)

[sour solar]

Any new cpu is good for a 2060

Maybe a little too good

If you have a microcenter near you that will be your best bet

[median palm]

nope i live in uae there is no micro center😭 i was wondering about ordering from newegg or amazon since they offer black friday deals

[median palm]

please specify

[sour solar]

Well the 2060 is old and not great…

[median palm]

i got it for 700$ in pandemic😭

my cousin got a i7-9700k and a 1660 super and he can run fortnite better than me

by alot

[sour solar]

I think that’s the cpu then

Or the pc in general

Like the difference between the ssd speeds

The 1660 is not better

Also what is your not too expensive - expensive threshold

1000?

[median palm]

chill out

wait

lemme send u what i have in my cart ok?

[median palm]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Qn6cYN

idk what is my ssd speed

how do i check?

[sour solar]

What is the ssd

[median palm]

this is the first one

this the second one

[sour solar]

Ah they are sata

Very slow

[median palm]

wo

so is that de problem?

[sour solar]

So a better ssd is definitely worth it

[sour solar]

Likely

[median palm]

so i need to make a new makeover?

of my pc

[sour solar]

Sata speeds play a big part in fps

Nah

[median palm]

so rn after taxes my monthly saving come about roughly 544 usd dollars

and that is high tbh since im 13

[sour solar]

Yes that’s a nice budget

[young thunder]

Some good budget NVMe SSDs are the WD Blue SN570, Kioxia Excercia G2, Teamgroup MP34

[median palm]

one of them is teamgroup

but idk if its fast

the guy that i got mine from said its the fastest in the market

[sour solar]

Well he’s talking nvme ssds

[median palm]

oh

are they the big ones?

[sour solar]

Which plug directly into the mb

They are pretty small

[median palm]

ye

i got a teamgroup one

[young thunder]

Thats an nvme

[median palm]

lemme see if i can pic it for u

[sour solar]

Is that what yours looks like? @median palm

[young thunder]

It could be an M.2 Sata

[young thunder]

Its an nvme

[median palm]

yep

[young thunder]

MP33 i’m guessing

[median palm]

so i dont need to get a new ssd

?

[young thunder]

Nah

[median palm]

but i do need a new ddr5 mobo and a good cpu AND ddr5 ram

[young thunder]

If you want

[sour solar]

Well depends

[median palm]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Qn6cYN

i chose this

[young thunder]

Good

[median palm]

what do u think about it

[sour solar]

You could get an Intel cpu and still use it current ram

[median palm]

my mobo dont support

9th and above

[sour solar]

Ah

[median palm]

i was gonna go for the 12400

but i saw that this was better

but tbh like a ryzen 7 for just a bit higher price is double the cores and threads

[sour solar]

That oloy ram doesn’t have a price also it’s a little interesting…

[sour solar]

Well the 5 is a good one for the 2060 rn

[median palm]

idk but its not that much of a difference from the 8600k

[sour solar]

But if you’re going to upgrade the gpu later in then the 7 is good

[sour solar]

It’s a large difference

[median palm]

i saw on one website

[young thunder]

Lots, DDR5 is a lot faster and so is the 7600

[young thunder]

If its userbenchmark I’m gonna shit myself

[median palm]

wait lemme send u smthn one sec

[median palm]

[sour solar]

User benchmark is annoying

[median palm]

the gaming is only 7% higher

[young thunder]

https://tenor.com/view/rhino-shit-rbxzoo-adurite-pooing-gif-26514280

Me rn

[median palm]

so is it lying

[young thunder]

Yes

[median palm]

oh

[young thunder]

Toms Hardware is good

[median palm]

so should i go with a ryzen 7 or just go with the current cart

[median palm]

lemme check it out

[young thunder]

Ryzen 5 is fine

[sour solar]

https://tenor.com/view/peter-peter-griffin-nod-yes-gif-25389443

[median palm]

what about a Ryzen 7 7800X3D

[young thunder]

Fastest gaming cpu

[median palm]

its the same price of a ryzen 5 7600

[young thunder]

HOW

[median palm]

according to toms hardware

well nvm

oops

[sour solar]

What

[median palm]

i meant that it was 350

[sour solar]

I was gonna say

[median palm]

dollars

for that cpu

[sour solar]

The 7600????

[median palm]

yes

[sour solar]

The 7800x3d is that much rn

[young thunder]

yes but OP is in the UAE

[sour solar]

Ah

[median palm]

whats op

[sour solar]

Original poster

[median palm]

nvm only the ryzen 7 7700x is 320$

[sour solar]

Aight guys I gtg for today I’ll see ya

[median palm]

and the ryzen 5 7600 is 260

should i spend the extra 60 bucks @young thunder

[median palm]

bye

[young thunder]

If it fits in the budget

[median palm]

my budget is 540

usd

[young thunder]

Not much gaming performance gains though

[median palm]

oh

so its not worth the 60?

[young thunder]

Probably not

[median palm]

is the ryzen 5 5500 that much of a difference from the 7600

cause it has the same t/c

[young thunder]

Different cpu socket

[median palm]

oh

[young thunder]

Also theres more to it than just threads and cores

[median palm]

oh ok

i thought thats it lol

[young thunder]

There is the 7500F though

That might be a bit cheaper

[median palm]

is it better than the 7600x?

r5

[young thunder]

Like 1% worse

[median palm]

oh

is the 7500f r or intel

[young thunder]

Ryzen

[median palm]

lemme look at price on sec

[young thunder]

Might be a little hard to find

[median palm]

YEAH I CANT FIND IT IN AMAZON

lemme look on newegg

[young thunder]

You can probably find it new on Ebay or Aliexpress or FB marketplace

[median palm]

i dont got fb marketplace on uae

i dont think so

[young thunder]

Ok

[median palm]

lemme look on ebay

i found it for like 190-200

[sand cradle]

Depends on what “other games” mean. The 8600k still does very well at just fortnite.

[median palm]

well actually it does not for me

[sand cradle]

I also have doubts on this. What do you mean by “a lot”

[median palm]

like

[sand cradle]

Fortnite should be getting 100fps easy on an 8600k

[median palm]

i run on preformance mode and fps lag

he runs on direct x11 and 12 on easily 200

[sand cradle]

Stop using userbenchmark.

[median palm]

like when in fights i get about 80

so thats why i wanna get a new cpu

tho idk if i should get a 7500f from ebay for 174

or get a 7600x for 200

[sand cradle]

https://youtu.be/uRxKbA4-o-M?si=3lqRXkgQI0ZxNnLR

This man’s getting 160fps average with an 8500 + 1050ti. There is something wrong with your computer.

[median palm]

when i bought my pc it was running 300 on direct x on a 1060 ti

but after 4 years it got alot slower

even with removing alot of softwares

[sand cradle]

Yes. Fortnite didnt suddenly get heavier. (Well it did with UE5 upgrade but not by that much, like 20% hit in perf)

[sand cradle]

Your issue is elsewhere. Try looking at temperatures, maybe it is thermal throttling and needs a repaste

[median palm]

nope got it newly pasted

[sand cradle]

Maybe you need driver updates

[median palm]

got them updated

[sand cradle]

Did you check temps to ensure you did it properly?

[median palm]

yep

i went to get it pasted

[sand cradle]

Reinstall windows?

[median palm]

when i got the new cooler

tried that

and formating

[median palm]

when i put it into the mode that this guy was using

in all low

i cant play i keep getting fps drops

like literally every seconds

[sand cradle]

Does this happen in other games or just fork knife?

[median palm]

well only fortnite

when i put it in direct x

[sand cradle]

You have network issue

[median palm]

tho when i put it in preformance

the fps is better

it does not fps dorp

drop

[sand cradle]

Fork knife stutters whenever it does not like something. Including network issues. I dont know why. But it is a thing.

[median palm]

well it does sometime on cod

i tried my pc in 3 houses

on different networks

all the same

and very fast networks

so that is not an issue

[sand cradle]

Not pure speed, but ping.

[median palm]

16 in game

0 in creative

[sand cradle]

Also network integrity

And depends on time of day as well

[median palm]

and it spikes alot

when opening any thing

[sand cradle]

How many people are playing in said server, server quality, etc

[median palm]

uh its middle east

[sand cradle]

And also fork knife is just shit at running well

[median palm]

so idk prolly like alot

but my cousin was playing w me

and his was ok

[sand cradle]

So even with an upgrade it’ll still be a shitfest

[median palm]

and alot of streamers in my server dont have that issue with their network

[sand cradle]

But i guess you can grab an r5 7600, other games would definitely improve with the extra threads.

[median palm]

should i get that mb tho? the one i put in the link

of the pcpartpicker

i only got a budget for 544

[sand cradle]

Also with reinstalling windows, you did that using a USB installer and completely nuking your old install, yes?

[median palm]

mhm

[sand cradle]

Hmmmm, idk maybe do a bios reset or something. Cause the 8600k should be getting a lot more than just 80fps, and it certainly shouldnt be stuttering to the point that it’s unplayable

[median palm]

i did that

i did a bios reset

and an update

[sand cradle]

Would be worth a look since there’s no guarantee that the issue will disappear with an upgrade if that’s the case

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nYGvLs

[median palm]

and tried to go to a older version

[sand cradle]

I changed the RAM

[median palm]

i got 144$ left

[sand cradle]

6000 CL30 is a bit faster and is the sweet spot for price/perf

[median palm]

should i use them

[sand cradle]

2tb P5 plus for $90

[median palm]

i got enough storage

i dont even use it tha much

ima try on these specs

[sand cradle]

Swap your HDD out

[median palm]

that might be the problem

its old

[sand cradle]

That might actually be the issue now that i think about it

I dont think i’ve ever seen anyone run new fork knife on HDD, all the tests i’ve seen are on SSD

[median palm]

i got hdd and sdd

[sand cradle]

Might be stuttering trying to load assets

[median palm]

nvm it says i got 2 ssd

but i got a very big one and a small one

look 2 ssd

[sand cradle]

You got a 512gb and a 480gb

Not exactly big

And those SSDs arent exactly fast either

So i would definitely just upgrade your main storage with the P5 plus

[median palm]

alright

you see the ram that u put for me

when i choose the 6400 one instead of the 6000

it says itsd 1$ cheaper

lol

ima look if i can find the cpu for the same price as it is in pcpartk picker on amazon

damn the r5 7600 is 40 cheaper than the x

like on the uae market in amazon its 220$ for the 7600

and 255 for the x version

so is it worth it if i get the x one?

[sand cradle]

What is the CL

[median palm]

32

for the 6400

[sand cradle]

No, same exact chip, same exact performance, you dont get cooler

[median palm]

and 30 for the 6000

[sand cradle]

Although i guess you can use your old cooler so it doesnt really matter

[median palm]

it gives cooler

with it

[sand cradle]

Hmmm, should be about equal but ryzen has difficulties booting above 6000mhz sometimes so you may need to set speeds manually

[median palm]

ima just go with the 6000

[sand cradle]

For a $1 difference go with 6000

[median palm]

lol

alr

[sand cradle]

The 7600 has a cooler yes

7600x does not

[median palm]

oh ok

[sand cradle]

And the performance is exactly the same

[median palm]

well since the 7600x is so much more expensive might as well go with the 7600

[dusty mesa]

and its much cooler

[sand cradle]

7600x just has a slight boost clock advantage, easily rectified by a 2 minute OC

[median palm]

just the mobo left

[sand cradle]

Any B650 will do

[median palm]

yeah the one in cart

ig i can order it from newegg

with free delivery

[sand cradle]

And by any, i literally mean any. So just sort by cheapest. Do check back here though, some boards may have better VRMs for the price than others.

[sand cradle]

That one’s alright for the price yes

[median palm]

the delivery is 50$ wtf😭 for the mobo

u know what lemme just try to find it in amazon

is thi sthe same?

[dusty mesa]

it will work

[median palm]

are you sure 😭

this is the same

as the onein cart

[dusty mesa]

idk if its the same but it will work

whats the one in the cart

[median palm]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nYGvLs

[dusty mesa]

How much is the Asrock Pro RS or Msi Pro B650M-A

[median palm]

lemee se

[median palm]

[young thunder]

That ones still bad

What site are you using

[median palm]

amazon

.ae

amazon.ae

https://www.amazon.ae/

theres this too but damn its expensive

its like 12 dollars more

[young thunder]

Ehh, just get the prime i suppose

[median palm]

which ?

[young thunder]

The B650M-K is probably the better of the 2

[sand cradle]

This is an entirely different product

[sand cradle]

It’ll work but it is not the same

[median palm]

what bout th is

[young thunder]

How much is the Asus Prime B650M-A Wifi II

[sand cradle]

That’s just the same board with wifi

[median palm]

https://secure.newegg.com/global/ae-en/shop/cart

and ima add the ram that @sand cradle recomended from amazon

so is that good

[young thunder]

What the hell is white friday

[median palm]

ion know😭

[median palm]

[young thunder]

No

[median palm]

368usd for the ryzen 5 7600 and the b650m pro rs

[young thunder]

Poggers deal

How much is ram

[median palm]

and ill put in the ram from amazon which is 112

[young thunder]

Ideally you want CL30 6000mhz ram 2x16gb

[sand cradle]

Considering the 7600 is $200, that’s basically normal price

[sand cradle]

Might even be higher

[young thunder]

[sand cradle]

Unless he means that it also includes shipping to UAE i guess

[median palm]
