Upgrading my Y710

[henrikholstad]

I'm looking to upgrade my Lenovo Cube Y710,  because my i5-6400 2.7GHz is wayy to ass for my gtx 1070. I'm planning on moving all my parts into a new case, but I want to keep my 1070. Anyone got any tips for what case, motherboard and ram I should get? And btw the proccessor I'm looking to buy is the Ryzen 5 2600x.

case is personal preference, just show me a example of what you'd like in looks

 

pro4 is really nice on a budget, but i got a whole lists of motherboards tiered in my signature

 

just get any 3000+ mhz kit which you like

I like the kinda flashy look, with RGB and being able to see the whole system. Also, I'm not sure what case to get because I can't figure out which cases has the best cooling for the price and whats big enough and stuff like that because when someone in a video says something about the case, someone in another video says the complete opposite.

 

And for the motherboard I don't really understand anything about them, what chipsets I need or what the B in B450 for example means. I heard it's recommended with micro atx tho but I'm not really sure, so it would have been nice if you could tell me what you'd get and maybe why

I'll explain a lot in a following post, but i have some questions first:

 

can you name a example or two about cases you like? can be way out of budget, it's just for me to get a idea

 

with the motherboard, do you care about size? that's what things like atx, micro atx and itx means

Svive Luna X750 W Midi Tower

CORSAIR Obsidian 500D RGB SE Mid-Tower

 

Corsair Crystal 460X Midi Tower

Corsair carbide spec-06 RGB

 

 

I think those look quite good!

 

and to the motherboard I don’t really care that much about the size.

mesh front panels generally give the best airflow, something like for example the cooler master mb511 rgb or h500 would fit you great. but if you got anything else you'd like in it, just let me know

i can explain everything to you, but that's getting way too long. I'd recommend you check out this list, get a size that fits in your case of choice and be done. tier b or higher. the list is mostly focussed on power delivery and general issues, so about the most important parts.

Do you think h500 with the Tomahawk B450 would be any good?

Cooler master h500

 

and is G.Skill Trident Z RGB 3200MHz 16GB good or is it better to go with cheaper 3000mhz. Because this whole upgrade will cost me 650$ and idk if its better to just try to sell my old lenovo cube y710 and buy a new one.

ah, great. I'd recommend the mesh panel for better airflow

I'd get a cheap 3000 mhz kit and manually overclock it a little further

might do a little worse in cpu heavy titles, but otherwise it has a great upgrade path and should last for a long time

 

tho keep a eye on the radeon vii too

But do you think it’s better to buy a completely new one since the upgrade is like $650 bucks and I would guess I can get like 400-500 maybe for my 2 and a half y/o y710 and I can probably get something better out of $1150, or?

 

btw thnks so much for taking your time, I really appreciate it!!

you can probably get a little more because of that 1070 and because it's a complete system

 

I'd suggest brand new, as about any key component can be easily replaced by now
