So as the title say, i'm willing to upgrade my actual PC. 

 

Here comes the problems. What should i go for with a mid/low budget. 

 

Those are the main specs:

   Intel I5-3570 @ 3.4

  Nvidia GTX 770 Asus DCU2 OC 

  Corsair H80 

  Cooler master 700W 80+ Bronze

  Asus P8H67 Rev 2.0 

  8 Gb (4 x 2) Corsair vengeance DDR3 1600

 

Those are the main parts of my pc. 

I got Hdd and ssd aswell but i'm not planning on changing them and they will not be part of the changes. 

 

 

I was planning to change my GPU but i realize that nowadays the best GPU are bottlenecked by MINE CPU. 

 

SO.....should i simply change my GPU for like an RTX 2060 and then after changing my CPU aswell, or it could be better change it all in once? so chould i go with Ryzen instead of a classic I5/7? but in that case i think i need to change MB aswell....What you think guys? (keep in mind. need to run at leasst at 60 FPS games like The Division 2, and Escape From Tarkov) And if i'll change my MB then i think i should go for an upgrade of my RAM or even changing ('cause they are still DDR3)) 

 

I really need someone to talk bout it. that know compatibility between those specs, and that can help me out finding the BEST config in order to maximase the use of it for at least 4/5 years or so. 

 

My actual computer is keep working till 2013/14

i think the best thing to do at this point would be to wait for zen 2 to come out in about 2 months

gaming system: Intel core I9 12900ks / biostar Z690A valkyrie / 4x8gb corsair Vengeance @3333Mhz ram / RX 7900XTX pulse gpu / Thermalright peerless assassin 140 /Coolermaster Qube 500 case / Be Quiet Dark Power Pro 12 1500w power supply

 

laptop: Dell xps 9510, 3.5k OLED, i7 11800h, rtx 3050 ti, 2x16gb DDR4 @ 3200Mhz, 1TB main drive, 2TB add in ssd

and then start from there right? so you kinda suggest to wait and then upgrade almost all the stuff right?

 

So aiming for a budget of 700 in order to upgrade CPU, GPU, RAM and ofc MB

I was just talking about the CPU but sure if you can gather up a bit more money for a GPU until then, then you can't go wrong

Yeah mainly i'm using this setup for gaming. So i was having a bit of trouble playing The Division 2 'cause of the memory use that is always at 100% more or less (CPU is at 97/98%) yet my pc is starting to be a little slow on loading easy games like Rocket League 'cuase of the use of it and it's slowly become with too low specs for almost a lots of games. How bout a Ryze 5 1600Z? is still worth to wait the ZEN 2?  

 

Keep in mind that i'm looking to purchase an RTX 2060 to be honest. Have this thought for a long time now

that's why i was aimiong for a budget CPU in order to BOOST the GPU and gainin benefits from it. OK still some bottleneck form the CPU but as i can see the CPU dropp just the 22% of FPS on Ultra settings. so even if i run at MEDIUM settings i'm still WAAAY much better than now

isn't a little bit too low? i think some MB could be better. Like paying  alittle bit but having a mobo that can endure like 6/7 years or so. dunno why but i always felt like cheap mobo=problems.

 

with a budget of 700, 350 on the GPU (more or less), 150 on CPU, and i still can use round 200 for MOBO and RAM

There are better motherboards for sure but i would recommend getting a good b450 motherboard instead of a basic x470 one

ok so GOING BIG could be an ASUS ROG STRIX B450-F for the mobo. 

But talking bout RAM, 8 Gb or 16. With the RTX 2060 i could go with 8 Gb np. i don't video editing or stuff like that

No in 2019 you NEED 16gb for gaming unless you want to buy more ram in the next year
