Hello, I am wondering which item I should upgrade or even if I should AND if I should, What should I upgrade to.
Specs:

2200g

RX 570

8gb Ram

500W PSU

1TB SSHD

The main things I would like to do in my system:

Gaming.
Watching YT.

Streaming.

What should I upgrade if I should upgrade, and what should I upgrade to? 

Thanks, L3G0ur3GG0

What is you budget what resolution and refresh rate are you aiming for. What games?

Well, 500$.

1080p is all im asking for, I have an 144hz monitor.

PUBG, Fortnite, CS:GO, Rainbow Six Seige, Rust (Possibly), Thats really it right now.

CPU wise you should wait for zen 2 CPUs. You might get 6c/12t!

Ok, When does it come out and what does it overclock to? I am willing to spend extra on a water cooler.

Probably sometime in the late spring of early summer. Clockspeeds remain unknown, though probably significantly higher than current gen due to  7nm.

Alright well, Thanks. 6 Cores sounds good for streaming.

If you want to check bottlenecks use this handy website: https://thebottlenecker.com/calculator

Also how many ram sticks do you have and what is their speed?

Well, I have 8gb of ram, 2 sticks 2400mhz. However, very soon I will be upgrading to 16gb 2400mhz.

You might also want to upgrade to a higher speed. 2 Gen Ryzen likes high speed RAM, no one is sure about 3rd gen, however it is likely.

2nd and 1st gen Ryzen do better with high speed ram because of infinity fabric being used for 6 core or greater chips. 3rd gen is improving the infinity fabric design and moving more cores onto one chiplet so that inter core latency will be reduced.

 

The best indicator of this was the CES demo that used 2666 MHz memory on the intel and AMD system, showing promising results

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 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad
