Hello, I'm planning on getting an upgrade on my 4~years old computer. I upgraded the GPU to a MSI gtx 980ti a year ago so the GPU wont need an update just yet I believe.
As per the sticky: I'm located in Sweden, budget will be about 1100 $USD
It's going to be a gaming PC
Main monitor is 2560x1440p 144hz, secondary is 1920x1080 60hz
No need for new peripherals
I'm upgrading due to my CPU bottlenecking in CPU heavy games, wanting quicker loadtimes with better memory, future proofing abit with m.2 capability.
Old Specs:
MB: MSI Z87-G45 GAMING ATX
CPU: Intel Core i7 4770K 3.5 GHz (Haswell)
GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB
RAM: Corsair 16GB (2x8GB) CL10 1600MHz VENGEANCE LP
PSU: FSP 650-80EGN 650W 80+ Gold, Bulk
Storage: 2x Kingston SSD V300 120GB
1x OCZ Trion 100 240GB
I'm planning on keeping the GPU, PSU and 2x of the SSDs
Cost of this build is 9670SEK - $1094 USD
New specs:
MB: MSI X470 GAMING PRO
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 3.4 GHz 19MB
GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB
RAM: G.Skill 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3000MHz CL15 Trident Z
PSU: FSP 650-80EGN 650W 80+ Gold, Bulk
Storage: 1x Kingston SSD V300 120GB
1x OCZ Trion 100 240GB
1x Samsung 860 EVO 500GB
Case: Fractal Design R6
My biggest worries right now are the new memory sticks, I've searched forums, reviews, AMD support pages, qvl lists for the MB - but all of them contradict one another on if the sticks will work fine or not. So here I am hoping for some specific answers on my build as a whole since it's my first Ryzen build.
I'm also a bit concerned about the fan controller on the case - never actually had one on my old computers so I'm not sure if there might be a compatibility issue with my old PSU since the fans aren't MOLEX now as the ones i have right now.
edit: new specs right now are at $1094 USD converted from swedish SEK
