Hi,

 

I am sorry to say I am not incredibly knowledgeable about all this technology.

I want to upgrade my PC for gaming and streaming and my current set up is:

 

AMD FX9590 8 Core 4.7 Ghz

Ram 32GB

MSI 990 FXA Gaming

Strix Radeon RX 480 8GB

Corsair H110i 280MM

Corsair AX1500i

 

Can I upgrade to a Ryzen?

If so can I keep everything in the setup the same or what would I need to change please?

 

Sorry I did warn I am not that knowledgeable about this stuff :) ... but I need to get better performance for gaming and streaming than what I get currently. I'm constantly getting frame issues :O

 

Thanks and appreciate if anyone can help with some answers please.

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 need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Motherboard, CPU and RAM would be needed. Ideally on the RAM you want something in the 3000-3200 range. 

I don't have a budget per say... just need to know what would be a good setup to upgrade to, considering that if need to upgrade again in a couple years... what would be best to upgrade to?

Need to make it better at performing when streaming and gaming at the same time. If that makes sense :)

The parts list I added above would do nicely, if you see something you'd rather swap you can make a different parts list.
