#

i seriously don't think you should upgrade that cpu without upgrading motherboard and ram

#

the best you can upgrade to is a 9900k which is a much bigger cost than it's worth

#

and basically anything you upgrade your gpu to is gonna be bottlenecked by your cpu anyway

#

you're probably better off keeping the 5700 xt and upgrading cpu, motherboard and ram rather than getting a new gpu

#

unless you're playing singleplayer games at 1440p that put a lot of load on the gpu

brittle sparrow
#

Sell and restart

vivid ivy
#

:(

#

then what should y build

#

my price range is 1500 to maybe 2000

#

and y use my pc for gaming and recording

#

#

brittle sparrow
vivid ivy
#

vivid ivy
#

You may change it if there bad parts selections

brittle sparrow

vivid ivy
#

Its still pretty solid

brittle sparrow
vocal bough
#

yeah but if you're building a new pc anyway

vocal bough
#

regional pricing though

vivid ivy
#

bro

#

u good in the mind?

#

why would u spend like 200 on an operating system

#

use G2A

#

u can get an operating system for way less

#

i mean I don't know which currency ur using but either way it will be way cheaper

vivid ivy
#

Oh yeah

#

Y just put it in

ornate moth
#

just remove ur operating system

vivid ivy
#

Irl?

#

Wait im stupid

ornate moth
#

what currency r u using

ornate moth
#

from ur part list

#

plus

#

r u planning to get 2 monitors

vivid ivy
#

Well y already have a 1440p monitor

ornate moth
#

the 31" is soo not worth it btw

vivid ivy
#

Well y didnt knew

#

Y literally have a old monitor that still supports VGA

ornate moth
#

vivid ivy
#

ornate moth
vivid ivy

#

And y still use it as my 2nd monitor

ornate moth
#

check this out

#

@vocal bough helped me out for this

#

plus

#

if ur gonna get a 24" monitor

#

then at least get a G24F

#

that's probably ur best choice of a 24" monitor

#

if ur gonna rebuild ur pc

#

r u gonna keep ur mouse and keyboard or not

#

and what r u gonna use this for

#

like general gaming or like watching stuff or like heavy gaming

#

vocal bough
ornate moth

vocal bough
#

ye

but for his main monitros

#

monitor*

vocal bough
#

yeah but they already have a 1440p165 monitor

ornate moth
#

o ye true

vocal bough
#

and quite a nice one at that

ornate moth
#

this is his part lost tho

vivid ivy
#

Yeah

vocal bough
#

so yeah keep the monitors you already have

vivid ivy
vocal bough
vivid ivy
#

This is my real pc

vocal bough
#

also you don't need an aio with an amd cpu

ornate moth
#

exactly

vivid ivy
#

Problem

#

Y use the cpu encoder

vocal bough
vivid ivy
#

Idk how to change it so it heats up my cpu

vocal bough
#

do you use obs ?

vivid ivy
#

Nah

#

Streamlabs

#

Wait

vocal bough
vivid ivy
#

This is my real pc

vocal bough
#

bro you already have a 240mm aio

vivid ivy
#

Ill brb ok gotta charge my phone

ornate moth
#

man

#

who is this guy

ornate moth
#

how do u change the font of ur name like thwt

#

that*

vocal bough
#

oh there's weird unicode character spaces

#

as an example

ornate moth
#

right

#

cheers

vocal bough
#

np

#

there is some really weird stuff on there lmao

ornate moth
#

fax

vivid ivy
#

Back

vocal bough
#

oh also what country are you actually in

#

because regional pricing does make a really big difference in terms of what products are best

vivid ivy
#

Y live in puerto rico

vocal bough
#

as an example there's a motherboard that's a really great deal in the us but costs twice as much in australia

vocal bough
vivid ivy
#

Like for my region

#

Let use the psu as a example

#

For me it is at 120

vocal bough
#

i'm ignoring storage and case and stuff because the stuff you already have should be fine

#

it's pretty tricky because the 5700 xt is actually still a really good gpu

#

but yeah it's definitely falling off at 1440p

#

otherwise i'd say probably just keep the gpu and get a nice fast ssd with lots of space so you don't have to run your games off those hard drives

still moat
#

@vivid ivy can u get 7500F CPU New from AliExpress?

vivid ivy
#

Sorry y was building a pc

#

Here what y choose from your guys recomendations

#

Wait

vocal bough
#

that motherboard's really bad btw

#

also you shouldn't need new monitors, the ones you have are great

still moat
vocal bough
#

also the rx 7600 wouldn't really be an upgrade from the 5700 xt

still moat
#

You spent all the budget on everything but the GPU

still moat
still moat
#

Like the same

vocal bough
#

exactly

still moat
#

What's the budget?

vocal bough
#

$800 by the sounds of it

#

for the upgrade

vocal bough
still moat
#

Sell off the old pc for more money

#

5700 XT easily sells for 150$

#

The is alot of demand for that GPU so it won't take long to sell

vivid ivy
#

Phone died

#

Ama go to sleep now

#

It 10:30pm

#

Gn

vocal bough
vocal bough
#

probably not so much

#

they don't even sell well here, in nz

#

they go for like $150-200nz, where a 6600 does $350 easy

ornate moth
#

true

still moat
#

And why hard drive?

vocal bough
vivid ivy
#

Just stop talking

vocal bough
#

also the storage i left alone, they already have it

still moat
#

Ohhh

#

I see

vivid ivy
#

Ill talk at 1pm tommorow

#

Im sleepy

ornate moth
#

GN

vivid ivy
#

Gn

vocal bough
#

gn

still moat
vocal bough
#

that gpu won't get any airflow

still moat
vocal bough
#

something atx ideally

vivid ivy
#

im awake now

#

but my budget is 1500-2000

#

ill make on for my self

#

Y think i did y pretty good job

#

Anyone?

vocal bough
#

yeah that's pretty good, i would try push for a faster gpu though

#

something like a 7800xt/gre or 4070

#

if you go for an asrock b650 livemixer as the motherboard that nets you an extra $50

vivid ivy
#

Well that should last me awhile

#

And if am5 becomes like am4 ill dont have to worry much on future proofing it

#

Plus my pc can run 1440p in some games high and in other medium or low

#

But y use RSR of FSR if it available on it

vocal bough
#

the 7800xt though would absolutely crush on ultra settings for years to come

#

(hopefully)

vivid ivy
#

Yeah so is it solid?

#

Y wanted to not include the HDD and SSD

#

Cus y alr have one in my pc

#

The ssd is for the os drivers software and other important stuff

#

The first HDD is for games and the second one is for video recording

#

And i dont buy many AAA games so im good

vocal bough
#

i will say running games off the ssd does make the experience quite a bit nicer

#

even games as old as portal 2 will run faster on an ssd than a hard drive with everything else the same

vivid ivy
#

Yeah my dad say that HDD will and still be a reliable source of storage

#

And never had a issues with a HDD

#

For now

#

And im thinking of just keeping my old AIO

#

Cuz im impress it still alive and not broken after 5 years

#

This will be my pc if y keep my old storage and monitor plus the AIO

#

Or do y keep it so when y sell my pc y can get more money

vocal bough
vivid ivy
#

Meh

vocal bough
vivid ivy
#

Y can get like a 10tb hdd for like 500 dollars

#

My dad literally has a 10tb hdd for games

vocal bough
vivid ivy
#

And a 1tb ssd for software

#

But if y do get that pc and only keep my storage and monitors what problems may y encounter or could encounter

vocal bough
#

there shouldn't be too many issues, i will reccommend reinstalling windows though

#

because if you have a windows install with intel chipset drivers it kind of breaks with an amd cpu

vivid ivy
#

Does my key get deactivated?

vocal bough
#

it shouldn't but the activation thing is very random

vivid ivy
#

And the driver for the gpu will auto recognize the new gpu or do y reinstall the driver

vocal bough
#

if you reinstall windows it'll get the right drivers and stuff for you anyway

vivid ivy
#

So ill still keep my old games and videos plus software for the new pc?

vocal bough
#

you will need to move anything you don't want to lose onto the hard drives, then remove them from the system before you reinstall windows

vivid ivy
#

Oh ok

vocal bough
#

if you have more than one drive in the system when you install windows it gets really confused and sometimes splits the install over multiple drives, which becomes a problem if any of them fail or get removed / upgraded

vivid ivy
#

Oh ok

#

Thanks but is the build solid?

vocal bough
#

i should hope so

#

if it's a liquid or gas i'd be concerned

vivid ivy
#

Of what?

#

The cpu cooler

#

Or ill maybe keep my old AIO

#

Or just sell it with my old pc

still moat
vivid ivy
#

:(

still moat
still moat
vivid ivy
#

About 1500 to 2000

#

And y want it for gaming and recording

#

That can last me along time like my current pc

brittle sparrow
vivid ivy
#

Im at school so ill be replying sometimes ok

still moat
#

For 1500$ 7800X3D is the way to go I say

brittle sparrow
#

It won't make a difference in performance.

still moat
#

7600 is a great cpu

#

Not for this budget tho

brittle sparrow
still moat
#

So 7600 or 7800X3D

#

For the cpu

brittle sparrow
#

But I have a feeling this guy needs to save the money

#

reading the beginning of the thread.

still moat
#

Ok well CPU is decided 7600 or 7800X3D

#

@brittle sparrow what about motherboard?

#

I think it's worth getting a high end motherboard

brittle sparrow
#

both your board and my board are good boards.

still moat
brittle sparrow
#

one has wifi one doesn't

still moat
#

Asrock cooking with new motherboard

brittle sparrow

brittle sparrow
still moat
#

vivid ivy

My cats keep eating my ethernet cable so ill need it

still moat
vivid ivy
