Tom and Me

Lose the 5700xt and get a 3070 or 3080. If you can get those lol

Can you please include the specs so that I can help you?

Couldn’t find the reply, but it shouldn’t bottleneck TOO much, i suggest going on youtube searching for benchmarks with your specs and usually those vids have that colom of numbers. Somewhere there it should say “GPU usage” and then “%” Watch that number and if it doesn’t go above 70% usage then there’s a problem.

Yeah.

Oof, try and search “RTX 2070 with big F on fans” Idk cant help you without a box

Yeah I know but those were my thoughts and i mean, they’re pretty valid imo

The 10th gen i3 is actually pretty decent. Il quote you a thread from one of my topics to show you if it would bottleneck.

Do you have a box by any chance?

Does he really need any peripherals? And I think that the ram could be a bit cheaper, unless he would want the RGB and like you said, he should remove the noctua cooler and stick with the stock one because I doubt that he would be doing any sort of overclocking on his first PC. Maybe down the road, lets say 2~3 years of gaming and his machine starts to slow, he might want to overclock then. With all the money he would have saved by removing the stuff I suggested to remove, he could possibly fit a 3060ti in there if he could get his hands on one. It has better RT and DLSS.

Just did the math to work out the price. Everything above including GPU will cost around R19000 which is expensive but I’m gonna try and save up atleast R17000. I just watched a few videos benchmarking the 3060ti and the 3600, my conclusion is that they are a very great combo and well worth the money. I thank all of you for helping me. As we say in Afrikaans “Mag u ń voorspoedige jaar het en ń lekker dag verder” If you guys have any further suggestions, please message under this topic, I will still be active on this website.

Oh and, should I maybe switch out the 3060ti for a 3070(I swapped the 3060 with 3060ti) or is there only a marginal difference in performance?

Im looking on pcpartpicker and I see 2 B550 mobo’s with wifi 6 under R2700. I need the wifi because my router isn’t close to my room. Asus TUF GAMING B550M-PLUS (WI-FI) and Asus PRIME B550M-A (WI-FI) Which one would you choose? They’re both mATX

Would you care to explain to me why that would be more important?

Was thinking of upgrade paths but if b550 is good then I can switch.
