Hey guys, so I've upgraded my PC a while ago with an RX5700 hoping I would get the performance I needed, while not overspending and going beyond what I really needed for the upcoming years. However I noticed in a few titles that my 7600k (OC @ 4.8GHz) is lagging behind, with CPU usages fixed at 100% and background applications like Discord and OBS (even with AMD encoder) FREEZING when playing recent titles like COD: Modern Warfare, and sometimes even freezes on Forza Horizon 4, I realised it was time to go for a overhaul of my system.

I will be keeping my PSU as it's recent, as well as the RX5700, and I will be keeping my old SSD and HDD, although adding more storage in the process too. The rest of the PC will be built new, as I intend of saving the current setup, mixed with my old GPU and PSU, and passing it down to my dad, who's in need of an upgrade as well.

 

The purpose of this build is to be a mid-tier setup, capable of at least streaming some gameplay through discord to my friends without hiccups, which I can't with my current setup due to the CPU.

 

I'm asking you for advice on the purchase, I'm mostly already settled on what I'm getting although I could be missing some important aspects in compatibility and overlooking other important aspects, so please give me your opinion on this planned setup!

 

Phanteks Eclipse P300 Air 54,9
Arctic P12PWM PST 120mm x5 VALUE PACK 29,99
AMD Ryzen 5 3600 199,9
Team Group Kit 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 3200MHz Dark Pro CL14 8Pack Edition 134,9
MSI B450-A PRO MAX 90,9
Arctic Freezer 34 eSports Duo 33,9
Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut  0
Sapphire Radeon RX5700 Pulse 8GB 0
Bitfenix Whisper M 650W 0
WDC Blue 1TB EZEX 0
Samsung 850 Evo 250GB 0
M.2 2280 Toshiba RC500 500GB 3D TLC NVMe 69,9

 

Edit: For clarification, everything marked with 0 is something I already own

 

Anything I should change? This totals at about 615 euros and I don't intend on extending my budget unless it's a very nice price-value proposition to go over this

 

My biggest concerns are the case (although this is the new P300 with the mesh front), the fans, and the motherboard, as I can't get a definitive "this is an awesome buy, go for it" feedback just from looking through the reviews and specs of said items.

 

Thanks for your help!

The list looks good, but have you checked for bad drivers? It's a really big problem with RX 5000 series GPUs.

My Build (5800X3D, RTX 3070)

 

disclaimer: i probably don't know what I'm talking about but I try to give the best advice I can

Yes I'm always on the latest driver as the old ones seem to have bigger issues than the latest ones in terms of crashing stuff up, it's unfortunately still very unstable and as someone who came from an Nvidia card it feels really unpolished
