Upgrading Sister's PC
6 minutes ago, Boomwebsearch said:An X570 motherboard is a waste of money and so is fancy RAM, get a B450 or X470 motherboard if it is same or extremely similar in cost, and for memory, get 2 x 16GB modules of RAM or preferably 4 x 16GB, aesthetics of the RAM don't really matter for price to performance upgrades (just look for good CAS latency, memory speeds, etc), also if you find a 3800X for a very similar price to the 3700X then I would go for it and there is no Ryzen 7 3700, only Ryzen 7 3700X:
Nah X570 isn't a waste of money, since she does real work and needs a computer then a guess she can't wait for b550, i'd go for x570 just not to deal with B450 4th gen hassle.(also higher quality motherboard and PCIe 4.0 for the future, which will make the usable life of the system longer)
Most good memory sticks are also fancy .......3200-3600 Mhz 32gb is sweet spot.....(2x16gb)
and i meant a 3700x.................
Still if u can afford a 3900x it would be a beast for video editing and 3D modeling...

@Vishera I opened up the case out of pure curiosity to find that all of the capacitors on the motherboard were either bulging or popped completely. I will most likely look for a Ryzen build for her as @Void Master pointed out
OOOOF....expected
The ryzen build will rlly help her do her work better.....
