I know you are probbaly looking for something new, but have a look at the used market, a 6800xt for example, its an amazing card and not expensive. 

I can see rust on those bolts. If you have the computer on a humid area, then thats the reason . 

Voltage alone wont do it, you need Amps to kill it, so with Temps controled and the Amps more or less under control its fine. 

I was running my 3900x at 4.7 all core for some time and no issues. 

My 5800x3d I have it on stock voltage but I let it eat all the juice it wants and I have the clock gen at 102 so it has more clock then stock all core. No issues, But I have a big water loop . 

look on ebay for AMD gpu screws. I found some for mine

Ok, lets start with the Probbaly the most important component the PSU. 

That GPU is a 300w GPU and you probbaly have an old PSU , 

Can you tell us what you have please and how do you connected the gpu to it 

I play Star citizen, and all I can say is for the 45$ price you cant get this experience anywere. Yes its an alpha , yes loads of missing features and etc. But if you play the game for sometime you will understand how good it is and how big it will get. People have diferent opinions but I think if you play it then you can make one, or you can see some recent gameplay on youtube. I wish it will come out someday, even if not I had my 45$ of fun. Just to add its a very heavy game and only the X3d cpus give your gpu the headroom to scale . 

7900xtx all day long, just be aware that you need a good PSU for it. 

If it has FSR (and this works on any card) it does not need any other simililar tech. Needs to be a standard and be done with it. now I will never suport any shady tactic from any vendor. 

GPU suport I just use a chop stick painted black , mesure brake on the correct place, thats it . cheap gpu suport . 

SImple as this, Psu is the psu leave it original. Now the Top rad you want fresh air so they will put air in, front fans will put air in, Fans down will feed the gpu with fresh air and they will make the air go up and into that read fan that will take all air out , you will have positive presure so dont worry. I have been doing builds for very long and I can say the more air going in the better.

PSU leave as it is. Put all going in and the one on the back as it is. 

Amd cards are good, amd drivers are good, this is the short one. 

The long one is They have been always good, depending on the price that you want and performance they are good compared to the competition. 

Now if you want a card now the 7900xtx and the one to get the jump to a 4090 will cost you alot more. If you want mid range you can get a 6950xt for around 500 to 700 and thats a really good card, for the mid range cant go wrong with the 6700xt .

My Advice is get a 5800x3d when they are cheaper on used market. they will get you better fps and use less power. 

For the price really consider AMD the 6800xt are a really good deal , even the 6950xt you can get new for really good prices, in the UK its 650 for the best AIB

I have pushed my 6800xt to 2800mhz and 1.3v on water, you dont need 3 connectors . also the 6800xt 2500 to 2600 is were the money is and you need to lower the voltage so you really dont need more then 1.1v. 

Ok , upgrading from 7700k, the 7700k has a good IPC, if you manage to sell the CPU and board you can get a 3900x or a 5900x keep the ddr4 and you can get a cheap b450 board that has bios flash back. But I think if you just upgrade to the 7700k you will be more then ok. hold the platform for loads more time. the GTX 1070 does not use that cpu at all even at 1080p. 

This is my opinion, Upgrade cpu to 7700k(be aware is hoter then the 7500), upgrade gpu to a 6800xt and upgrade monitor to a 4k or 1440p maybe ultra wide. This will make your system amazing and you can work and play games. the 7700k will be ok maybe some bottleneck on some game but dont worry about it, the way to avoid that is just to limit fps . 

the 6800xt is a 4k card if you only use raster and no raytrace, with raytrace its a 1440p card with FSR because raytrace is really heavy on any card. 

At 1080p the 6800xt is be amazing even with the 5600x, yes you will be limited by the cpu, now if you put a fps limit for you screen for example 144hz so 144 fps limit you will run the card probbaly at 50 or 70% so it will run cool and wont overload your cpu. with this card your bottleneck will be the monitor anything above what your monitor can do is really wasting power. 

Change from a HDMI to a display port 

Hi It all depends, so if you go to 4k the load will be basicly on the GPU , A good 8 core like 7800x3d will last for ages at 4k

What PSU do you have, rx580 its not that powerfull but still uses some power. If its a crapy PSU you can have those issues. 

Now, Did you try a diferent cable on you rmonitor, or if you can change hdmi to dysplay port or the other way around. Use  a good cable 

I went from a 3900x with loads of OC to a 5800x3d and its also oc to 4750mhz, It made a diference, on games that really need the cache yes it makes the diference, on the rest yes it improved due to the better IPC, If I had the 5950x i wont get the 5800x3d, just keep the system and upgrad to AM5 if you call sell that one, or just hold and wait. 

The 5800x3d when OC is really hot, I have a 360/60 rad with push pull and another 120mm rad with push pull and it will get to the 80c, but damm its fast, specially on star citizen 40fps to over 120 gpu always at 100%.

Easy upgrade to a 4k monitor and don't worry, down the line won't be a bottleneck anymore . Enjoy the 7700k a little longer . 

I installed the driver no issues, back to my monster profile OC 355w , did a Port royal just to check and actually got better scores by 500 points, I do so much **** to the drivers with Drivers restart and changing PPTs and no issues. Always disable win to be able to change drivers and it will be ok. 

I have a 5800x3d with a 6800xt and all I can say is do the upgrade, I play at 1440p I upgraded from a 3900x and I noticed the upgrade on loads of games. Specially on star citizen, Be aware its a hot boy, it will get hot, if you have a msi board just turn on Kombo strike if not you can use pbotweak2 and lowe the curve to -30 and you actually get lower temps and better clocks, 

Mine is actually OC to 4750 all core with BCLK. For what you pay for the upgrade it will be way less then upgrading to anything better for gaming.
