Not really, X570 has full pcie gen 4 support (some ASUS B450 and X470 boards support gen 4 but not officially) which you might want if you plan on going with a 3000 series gpu or a new NVME PCIe gen 4 NVMe SSD

Why X470? Do you know X570 exists?

What game do you want to play (and at what resolution and frame rate) that your 5700xt can't already handle? Are you just after bragging rights in benchmarks are something?

You have an amazing system that many would be envious of, the one thing i would say is 1x 3070 will give you more performance than your 2x 980ti's and you will save money on pc running costs But if your rig plays everything at the refresh rate and resolution you want then don't upgrade.... yet

Can I nick this for HOTUKDEALS? Plenty of NVIDIA fan boys on there frothing at the new 3000 series cards One guy who had a 970 games at 1080p 60hz wants a 3070 "because reasons" I said your probably getting 60fps in most games with the 970 now depending on the game obviously so why the need to upgrade? If there is a game that stutters or you plan to play at higher resolutions and refresh rates then sure upgrade, but the average joe mostly games at 1080p 60hz if there lucky.

This is where your going to have to spend time narrowing down each component until you find the culprit - Take out the CPU and try it in a known good motherboard with all your other components (your going to have to find one on ebay or borrow someone else's if you don't have a spare one lying around) Stick the GPU in a friends rig and see if it happens on their system etc etc Try swapping out the RAM etc etc

I assume your laptop was out of warranty and that's why you let a "repair shop" tinker with your laptop instead of start a RMA with MSI?

Its likely the new RTX 3000 series cards will be even more power efficient than their predecessors - again, like others have said, save your money and put it to something other than buying a completely unnecessary new psu

What ever you do don't show this to Kyle - He'll go berserk. Try putting the GPU into a known good system if possible - it's the only way to be sure

Don't you need corsair's ICUE software to change the SP120's colours?

What else do you have plugged into the MOBO? NVMe SSD for example?

Go for the "used" one I say "used" because its all current gen stuff. Its $100 cheaper, sure your not getting as good a GPU but the $100 can go towards a big NAVI card when they come out around November. so plenty of time to save up and sell the 5600xt

I've got 32GB and peak memory utilisation on my rig is 39% so no, not unless you know you are going to need it/use it.

Need more info Stuttering where? Gaming? Desktop? FML

That's the old one This is the Gen 4 one https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07TLYWMYW?tag=pcp0f-21&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1

make sure the Sabrent Rocket 1TB NVME m.2 drive is gen 4 and not gen 3 - why not have the latest and greatest esp when your cpu + mobo combo support it ***yes but there is no real world performance benefit*** so what! get the best most future proof stuff you can buy at the time

why not got b450 then? x570 offers pcie gen 4.0 support actually if he gets a ASUS b450 board they also offer pcie gen 4 support

dude https://it.pcpartpicker.com/product/MsWfrH/xfx-radeon-rx-580-8gb-gts-xxx-ed-video-card-rx-580p8dfd6 is only 180 euros brand new!

Any reason your going x470 instead of x570?

You'd struggle to change motherboard, cpu, ram and GPU for that budget unless you go used? 650 ti is weak AF, go for the highest level of gpu that your cpu will allow you to then save up and get a ryzen 5 based system

get whichever one has the most warranty Brand is irreverent

290xs are power hungry, unplug any unnecessary extra peripherals from the motherboard eg dvd drive extra hard drives etc then try it

OK old GPU works fine? Have you confirmed the new GPU works ok on someones elses pc? Need to find out if new GPU is DOA

Have you tried both 16x slots? Note them being Gen 2 doesn't really matter as 3.0 cards are all backwards compatible with 2.0
