Unless you have a very tight budget

#

In that case lmk what your budget is

odd kernel
#

whole

#

sorrt for the bad typing im playing a game rn

#

the pc part pickeri made sems good and compatible but im on a budget

vestal zenith
#

What’s your budget

odd kernel
#

like 600

vestal zenith
#

Ok

odd kernel
#

if not lower

#

but yea

vestal zenith
#

The Pcpp list I sent is $620 but alr I’ll see what I can do

3060 was a good choice though but there is better

odd kernel
vestal zenith
#

The b580 is extremely good and puts up a good fight against 4060 ti and 7700xt

vestal zenith
odd kernel
vestal zenith
#

Newer motherboard which means different compatibility

odd kernel
#

I wasnt really looking for a new board since the i7 works with my current board

vestal zenith
#

Like you can’t put a 8700k on an LGA 1851 socket which is the newest socket from Intel

vestal zenith
odd kernel
# vestal zenith Yes, but it’s old and you can just get better especially for your budget

Alright, So orginally i was going to put the i7 in this baord: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/KJfFf7/asus-tuf-b365m-plus-gaming-micro-atx-lga1151-motherboard-tuf-b365m-plus-gaming which is the one i currently have and add the 3060 or the card you provided

Asus TUF B365M-PLUS GAMING Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard (TUF B365M...

Asus TUF B365M-PLUS GAMING Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard (TUF B365M-PLUS GAMING)

i would honestly get the new b580. its looking really good for $250

vestal zenith
#

I was not expecting it to sell out

tame ravine
#

oh wow, is it already sold out?

vestal zenith
#

It’s been like 12 hours

#

Yeah

odd kernel
tame ravine
#

scalpers selling it for over 500 on ebay lmao

vestal zenith
odd kernel
#

also

odd kernel
tame ravine
odd kernel
#

yes ik

vestal zenith
#

Definitely buy the 8700k used

#

As much as I’m against upgrading a long long outdated platform it’s fine but you have to get it used and definitely get the b580 over the 3060

odd kernel
vestal zenith
#

Just go to Intels website

tame ravine
#

drivers, which is available from intels website

vestal zenith
#

There should be a manual in the box

odd kernel
#

will it bottleneck or anything?

vestal zenith
#

It’s very straightforward

vestal zenith
odd kernel
tame ravine
#

probably not.

odd kernel
#

Alr

vestal zenith
#

No

#

A bottleneck is when the CPU is too bad to handle the power of the GPU and therefore the GPU doesn’t reach its full potential

odd kernel
#

And for cooling what should I shoot for air or aio?

vestal zenith
#

Air

#

Definitely don’t need an aio for 8700k

#

Thermalright peerless assassin is my suggestion

tame ravine
#

air, you wont be able to fit aio on such a small budget

odd kernel

tame ravine
#

currently running a 5700x3d which is a hot cpu, on amd stock cooler and it runs just fine

vestal zenith
vestal zenith
#

5700x

odd kernel
vestal zenith
#

Send a pic of current oc

#

Pc

#

You can make an air cooler look good

odd kernel
#

I can’t rn sorry

#

I’m on phone I can later though.

#

@vestal zenith So these upgrades to a new graphics card and CPU will last a while how long do you think because my current has last 4-5 years

vestal zenith
#

3 years

#

Idk abt CPU

odd kernel
#

Oh

vestal zenith
#

Probably 1-2 years for CPU

#

GPU will be good for a while

odd kernel
#

How so short 😭

vestal zenith
#

Because it’s old

tame ravine
#

because its an outdated cpu

odd kernel
#

Maybe mines done just haven’t realized since I’m not the biggest when it comes to PCs

vestal zenith
#

And hardware gets updates more often than in 2019

vestal zenith
odd kernel
#

Well my i5 seemed to last a long time to be fair

#

So a i7 I thought would last longer

vestal zenith
#

And your upgrading to a CPU that’s not much better and same year

#

Not all i7s are created equal

odd kernel
#

I don’t even know if upgrading is worth it or should I ride it out

#

From what y’all are telling me the estimated times yk

#

For how long they will last etc

tame ravine
#

what games are you playing btw?

odd kernel
#

Well I’m getting more games on steam im not to sure the exact ones but definitely pcvr and higher end games

#

I’m just upgrading to do homework quicker

#

Just kidding

tame ravine
#

what fps are you getting on your current pc? if it works for you, i would suggest saving money and building a new pc

#

will be better than upgrading your current one

odd kernel
tame ravine
odd kernel
#

To be generally honest I’m not sure but it gets buggy sometimes

#

I have a 240 hertz monitor so I think I can at least run 120 144 I’m pretty sure

#

On lower end games

tame ravine
#

now that is a waste of money. 240hz and not even getting 150fps

odd kernel
#

Yes…

#

I got the 240 hz a while ago tho

tame ravine
#

is the monitor 1080p or 1440?

odd kernel
#

I believe 1080

#

I just think the upgrade will make the PC faster last longer and for efficiency

vestal zenith
odd kernel
#

Thanks for the help guys

tame ravine
#

no worries

vestal zenith
#

No problem

tame ravine
vestal zenith
#

4060 is e-waste

#

Hardly better than 3060 and I mean by like 1-2 percent
