If You Could Upgrade ONLY ONE Part In Your PC, What Would You Buy?

Syaoran

i got a pretty complete loadout.. i think just about the only "single" components i could upgrade are either GPU or swap out the SSD+HDD for a bigger SSD...

 

i mean.. i could upgrade the cooler, but removing a bequiet adv. c1 would require offering blood to the pc gods...

if the upgrade was free, and you were paying for it

i would pick the most expensive component, probably a gpu because you can do more with that

Yeah free upgrade or if you won the lottery but I'm not paying for it lol

Most people would upgrade their GPU, I would too. I recently upgraded my gpu to a gtx 1080 and I still have a ryzen 5 1400 so I am experiencing some bottlenecking in some games and tasks so If I had unlimited budget for one upgrade I would go for a Ryzen 9 3900X.

Probably my GPU. I'm still on a GTX 1060 6GB. It's definitely starting to show it's age. If I had the budget, I'd go for a Radeon 5700XT or maybe even a 2070 Super.

It's a just a phrase, I guess it could translate to someone's current employment status or income.

I thought I would make a fun thread discussing what you would upgrade in your PC regardless of the price.

 

I think I would upgrade my RAM to Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200

 

My 2nd choice would be upgrading my CPU to Ryzen 2600

RAM makes the most difference before the CPU and GPU does.

 

The GPU makes a difference provided there is a workload that maxes it out, which is largely the realm of synthetic benchmarks and a few games like FFXV.

 

The CPU makes a difference only if the newer cpu is a 25% increase in single-threaded performance, which is something only achieved after like 5 years, and only if you pick the most expensive model.

 

For example I have a i7-4770, upgrading to a Ryzen 3900X is the only part that hits that performance jump.

Sure, the CPU mark is 3x for the Ryzen 3900x, but the single thread rating is only 24%

You know what has the same passmark rating as my existing CPU? Many current generation laptop parts.

Valve index? Maybe 32GB of ram. Neither would really change how I use my PC much.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I needATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explainedgroup reg is bad
