Old System Upgrades

Deuxez · January 31, 2020

So ive had my trusty system for about a year or so, and im finally going to try to upgrade something. Ive thought about upgrading my cpu, but i dont think an cpu upgrade would make any diffrence with the other parts i have, and my low chipset mobo. Ive locked myself on an ram upgrade, since ryzen loves fast ram and the 8gb total i got rn isnt enough. Im currently only playing some modded minecraft, destiny 2, apex, unturned etc. Ive looked around on the used and new market but it seems like there is no diffrence in pricing. A new 16gb 3200mhz set is like 90$ and an used set is like 80$, maybe as low as 70$ but its hard to find. My current PC specs:

Ryzen 3 2200g

2x4gb | 8gb 2133mhz unbranded stuff

xfx rs rx 480 4gb

asrock a320m-hdv r3.0

1tb sata SSD (as400 kingston or something)

you can also get a ryzen 5 1600af - it's $85 new on amazon and it's basically a ryzen 5 2600 with first gen memory controller

Thanks for the quick reply. but i like to buy/order things from known sellers within my country (sweden), so not from like amazon or newegg etc. I found these that are relativly cheap and fast: https://www.inet.se/produkt/5310200/corsair-16gb-2x8gb-ddr4-3000mhz-cl15-vengeance-lpx-svart?utm_source=prisjakt&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=prisjakt

looks good, go for it. also, amazon is very known and reliable, but i understand why you wouldn't want to import from the US.

Yeah import charges and who knows what else might happen. Then of course the time it would take to get them. From the link above it would take like 1-2 days, and from amazon like 2 weeks
