Well, to me every little detail counts. Any other upgrades?

First of all - upgrade your PSU if you want to upgrade CPU and GPU. Second - it's still good configuration for lot of games. Do you have problem with any games or you want to compare your fps to most powerful configurations?

I get Forza horizon 4 stuttering on max settings. I love getting the most out of my games and the best looking experience. Maximum textures and shaders at 30 fps i will favour over 120 fps with low settings

budget?

 

seriously, though if you're going to upgrade i'd get a new PSU

 

i'd upgrade the CPU, though you'd need a new mobo, cpu, and for better performance, RAM

around 400-500 quid

I realised that my gaming PC is not really a gaming PC. Some of the specs, some people don't even consider good parts for gaming. It's like a potato that got a GTX strapped to it.

Motherboard: Gigabyte Z370p d3

CPU: Intel core i3 8100

8GB Corsair Valueselect RAM

PSU: Corsair VS350

GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1060 3gb

Some black Antec case that should be for an office pc

My 1TB drive is good

Recommend any parts I must upgrade for it to be a good gaming rig please and thank you for the help!

Wouldn't a second gen Ryzen be out of date? Also I can splash my cash, around 400 pounds if need be. I do have other stuff to sell if I need to make money

I have an intel core i3 8100 and an intel z370p d3. I have seen some of the specs for my pc and feel like i need to haul a bunch of new parts in. I have seen a cheap Ryzen 5 3600x and seen that it's a good deal. What motherboards are compatiable with 3rd gen Ryzens? Should I switch from blue to red team? Are there any great cheap deals at the moment? I've got 8 gigs of RAM and a GTX 1060 3gb (I will be switching to a GTX 980 soon) I am a gamer

Any more info please specify!

Sorry, I meant the SATA and NVMe comparison.

 

HDD to SDD yes of course.

i understand. if any other person wants to comment you can but i wont reply

The terms "M.2 SSD" and "SATA" are not mutually exclusive. There are M.2 SSDs that interface over SATA and M.2 SSDs that interface over PCI-Express.

 

If the prices are the same between a M.2 SATA SSD and a 2.5" SATA SSD, then I'd almost always go with M.2 for the simple fact that I don't have to hassle with routing power and SATA cables.

interesting...

thanks everyone.

i game but i also mod the hell out of them so a file transfer speed would be very helpful to me. any arguments in favor for the SATA?

should i get an m.2 ssd or a SATA one? my motherboard (z370p d3) has an m.2 slot and im thinking of utalizing it. is there any difference between the m.2 and sata connection? i have 8gb of ram a core i3 8100 and a 1tb hard drive

any other specs let me know

As for wattage and unit, the CX550 would be a better choice than the 650M, because the CXM series is based on an older platform while the CX is newer and better.

I've seen online and the m literally means semi modular, which i would like a modular cables. 650 also seems overkill for a gtx980

That's sad, and very myopic

what does myopic mean?

AMD cards i am not interested in, i am on green team

Not just any old power supply, ideally you get something that's of decent quality in order to make sure you get the best lifespan of your components and the best stability. Don't want to put a cheapo PSU on a high end system, have you checked out the PSU tier list yet on the forum?

Ive found a corsair cx650m in my price range and corsair i believe dont make cheapo ones and they have much reputation for making good genuine products

I dont think that RTX 2060 can be used in your built as power supply is only 350 watt and I guess 80%. I think that GTX 1660 Ti would be best for you.

Ive seen the specs for the 1660 ti it seems to be a glorified 1060 and a non rtx, rtx 2060, like the nintendo switch lite. I could always upgrade my psu anyway. any other suggetions?

what about the AMD 5700 series? should beat Nvidia Price/Performance wise all day long... depending on pricing in the glorious UK anyway.

but last time i've been to the kingdom hardware prices were lower than on the mainland after converting to €

ill look into that

those are a pretty solid choice, you should be able to get one around 150 pounds off eBay. On the AMD side there's the R9 fury for under 200 pounds, of course like I mentioned in your other thread, the VS isn't exactly gonna be up to the task with these (especially not that fury)

should i upgrade to a gtx 980 and buy a 600 watt power supply?

At the moment i have a gtx 1060 3gb, but i feel like it's not doing me well. I don't have the most gamey of rigs ever but it's ok. I get around 120 fps for csgo on max settings. i would like to play a more demanding game but my budget is very tight, around 200 quid(im british) so should i get a used 980 or maybe splash my entire budget on an rtx 2060. im only 15 and dont have a consistent income so i cant spend tons of money on an rtx 2080ti (most people cant anyway)

some specs if my problem is elsewhere

intel core i3 8100

gigabyte z370p d3

8gb ram

corsair vs350

any other specs you want please ask!!

I have yet to see a reasonable gaming PC that has one GPU which will consume over 500 watts (in the modern day anyway)

 

That includes an i9 9900K and 2080ti, both overclocked. You wanna get crazy with that, do a custom water loop and you can probably push 550.

Thanks. your nicer than Lurik

Based on the copious amounts of information such as a parts list you've given us, you need 0 watts

Your humour kills me.

CPU: Intel i3 8100

Gigabyte z370p d3

gtx 1060 3gb

8gb ram

anything else to consider?

at the moment i have a vs350

Help me plz
