Upgrading PC, need help :)

[Mark30031]

Current PC :

Ryzen 5 1600

GTX 1070 TI Strix

16RAM 2400mhz

PSU Antec 550W neo eco modular 80+bronze

GA-AB350M-D3H

120gb ssd

1TB HDD

Antec GX500 Window

PC Is 2.5 years old

 

I want to Upgrade my CPU, RAM, and I guess i'll need motherboard cause my won't support better CPU/RAM? and possibly PSU and new case too cuz I heard they're both bad? or is it not necessary?

 

My budget is 550$ +- (2000 ILS)

 

I want to upgrade because it seems that I can't get stable and good fps (120-144 minimum, averging around 80-110) on different FPS competetive titles on lowest settings possible such as R6S,Apex legends,PUBG, anything actually. Probably i'll play single player games on ultra any time in the future too so... or at least high settings ^^, I want the upgrade also to be good for future upgrades (if I'll want to upgrade something else too ^^).

 

note : Can't overclock ram since mine is 2 different ram sticks from different manufacturers and it's just not working guys.

HI, if you can run a 1600 on your current motherboard, you can run a 3600 as well.

for ram, try to get a 2x8 3200 kit

the psu is basic, but not dangerous for an entry level system.

 

of course, I would recommend you upgrade the motherboard and psu as well, but if you're on a budget, only cpu upgrade to 3600 will work as well and will provide an increase in performance.

So according to Gigabyte's website, you only need to update the BIOS and it will support all CPUs up to a 3950X.

Now to stay in budget, get maybe a Ryzen 3600 for about 175 USD plus a 2x 8GB Kit 3200 MHz from G.Skill, ADATA or Corsair for another 80 USD. Your power supply is good enough for a 1070 Ti but a upgrade to a 600 to 700 Watt 80+ gold PSU might make your system easier to upgrade in the future. 

However I would recommend you spend some mony on a decent aftermarket CPU cooler of your chooosing. A 120 mm AIO might work well as will most tower coolers in the 70 to 80 USD price range. Not only will it be more quiet in the room, due to more thermal headroom, the 3600 will clock higher.

yeah sure the bios supports it, but the board itself doesn't have the power delivery capacity for anything higher than a 6 core.

I thought buying Arctic Freezer 34?

So I don't need yet to upgrade my PSU/Case/Motherboard?

@Mark30031 Yes, the Freezer 34 would work as well. There is currently no need to upgrade your power supply, case or motherbaord. If you wanted to go 8 core or higher @boggy77 is right, your motherboard might have issues with a power hungry chip like the 3950. But for the 3600 you should be completely fine. Just make sure to update the bios before upgrading.

So this setup :

Ryzen 5 3600

Corsair Veageance 2x8 3200mhz

GA-AB350-D3H

Antec GX500 Window

GTX 1070TI Strix

Arctic freezer 34 CPU Cooler

SSD HDD Blah blah ^^

Antec neo eco modular 550w

 

Will last for 1-2 years more right ^^?

 

I'll need later on upgrade my Motherboard,PSU,Case and GPU in 2-3 years ?
