Is it worth to upgrade?

Posted (edited)

 So i have an i7 3770k with a really crappy motherboard p8h61 mx R2.0

I have 16gb ddr3 1600mhz ram

And a gtx 1070 8gb

 

I want to upgrade to a ryzen 5 2600 with a b450m motherboard and 16gb ddr4 3000mhz ram

I not sure if it is worth upgrading. My pc seems to struggle running games at a stable high fps.. my cpu and gpu usage is always below 60% which imo looks like a cpu bottle neck.. could anyone help reinforce my choice? Thanks

 

EDIT : my cpu and gpu usage is usually below 60% in high cpu usage games such as GTAV

Oh in that case I think you should also throw in some budget cooler. ID COOLING SE-213V2 / ID COOLING SE-214X / Silentium PC SPARTAN3 PRO / Deepcool GAMMAXX 300/400.

 

stock ryzen wraith stealth is kinda meeehhh

More than fine. Perfectly sufficient for oc. You'll have to order an AM4 mounting kit though

Could you not buy that board that isnt good?

 

Get a B450m Pro4, Mortar, Bazooka. 

 

One of these.

 

Do you have a site i can use for reference? (Third time is the charm)

Otherwise its quite hard to pick out items

Poor VRM, and useless-limited BIOS. The latter is unforgiveable on Ryzen IMHO.

So is the pro4 better at the same price?, I dont really want to go hard with oc'ing anyway.. ill probably just experiment.

 

Is the ram ok ? My brother said that ram is important for ryzen

Yes, the RAMs are fine. 2nd Gen Ryzen& B450 chipset is actually pretty good with RAM compatibility..

So will i keep that ram and just go for the b450m pro4 instead if the ds3h?... And it would be a worthwhile upgrade?

Don't bother ordering from the UK or from Ireland itself, it's overpriced.

I usually order from Germany and the Netherlands. For Germany you can use this price comparison site:

https://geizhals.de/

 

If you want a specific site then you can go for https://www.caseking.de/en

 

Ordering from newegg can sometimes be cheaper too but the warranty is a real pain in the arse, not worth the headache IMO
