What Upgrades did you do on 2019 for your PC?

[Reytime]

I build an entire new PC at the start of this year. Details are in my signature.

 

I switched to Mac briefly for job reasons but quickly found myself like a prisoner, unable to upgrade (besides RAM). So I returned the Mac and started from scratch with a PC.

 

Can't wait to apply some worthy upgrades in 2020. I'm interested in PCIe 4.0. We'll see.

This year?  Umm.  I suppose you mean last year. 

 

Ryzen 3600 (from Ryzen 2200G, which I only now even realize how weak it was) 

 

Corsair LPX 3200 16GB (from Corsair LPX 3000 8GB,  I'm not seeing *any* difference at all tbh,  my PC has huge issues with video editing regardless of programs used and neither the 3600 nor the bigger faster RAM made a tangible difference) 

 

Toshiba SSHD (the best update I ever did probably,  it's the best hard-drive I ever had I feel - theoretically the Samsung EVO should be better but I can't really say I notice much, for gaming this SSHD seems perfect from a price / performance standpoint) 

 

2x Noctua Chromax intake fans (the best fans ever made, simply put, made my whole PC 10-20C cooler) 

 

 

[Evolution.]

gtx 1060 6gb to gtx 980 ti

i5 4570 to i7 3770

I did a case sidegrade to the MetallicGear Neo Mini V2 to support a kinda-bad-value-and-not-worth-it GTX 1070 -> RTX 2070 upgrade. At least the card itself was only $355 (after tax/shipping; manufacturer refurb) and I netted $165 on the GTX 1070 flip on eBay.

 

Also added a couple of Noctua NH-P14s redux PWM fans, and an Intel 660P 2TB NVMe (PCIe) SSD because it was like $180 and I couldn't resist.

My buddy built a new rig, so I snagged his 16gb ddr3 ram for £15. It feels absolutely silly currently because my cpu is an i3 4130, but at least my system is ready for some decent multitasking when I -eventually- slot an i7 into it.  (a used 4770k is still £115 currently :/)

Someone gifted me an RX 5700 graphics card. I'm not spending money to upgrade anything else right now so it's being paired with my FX 8350. Let the bottlenecking begin!

Did you get anything new this year for your PC or personal server or buy any new tech stuff this year? post em down below.

 

 

Upgraded my PSU to a Seasonic Prime Ultra Gold and at the end of the year began to buy parts for a new build.

[Crunchy Dragon]

Got a new rig entirely, also got a new laptop and recently picked up more RAM for said laptop.

[SeraphicWings]

Got an entirely new rig, AMD + NVIDIA combo (thanks AMD for p/p CPU so I can get an RTX 2070)

 

Also this year, I got BOTH my laptop and PC to have 32GB of ram, which is very unheard of 

[Archer20]

2019 was a really mellow year for both my main rig and my server. My server got an upgraded boot drive and my main rig, for the most part, is as it was. 2019 was a software year for me though lol.

[NoMansLand]

I'm poor so I got a ROG Balteus mouse pad & ROG Spotlight...

I went from:

7600K --> 2700X

16gb 3000mhz --> 16gb 3200mhz

500gb SSD --> 1TB SSD

 

I carried my 750w power supply, GTX 1060 6gb, and my case over to the Ryzen build.

 

The 7600k, 3000mhz RAM, and 500gb SSD setup are going into an HTPC build with a GTX 960, for Minecraft, TF2, Counter-Strike, and other games that can run around 4k 60hz with that graphics card.

Started off with just a  cpu, mb and ram to replace my gen 3 i5. Ended up replacing everything with the exception of my secondary drive (which I'm now looking to replace) 

 

Started off with

1050 ti

16gb ddr3 1600mhz

240gb ssd

Cx550

Thermaltake v2

500gb hdd

Janky watercooling loop

 

Ended up with

Ryzen 5 2600 

RTX 2060 super 

Steel legend matx mb

16gb ddr4 3200mhz

500gb m.2 nvme 

Tundra aio

[Retro_R]

Alright. Upgraded to 3rd gen ryzen (3800x, to be more specific). Got a 1440p 144hz, and a 5700xt.

[Malchidael]

This year i will upgrade the video card. Planning on a 1660 nvidia with 8GB

[HumdrumPenguin]

Sold my old stuff and bought absolutely everything new, aside from my Audioengine A2+ speakers and Xbox one controller.
