Pc upgrade - Help

Hello!

 

Recently I've been thinking about upgrading my pc, in particular my GPU and RAM.

 

My current pc specs:

Motherboard: Asrock B450m pro4

CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 2200G

GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1050 Ti

Power supply: Corsair VS450

RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 - 8gb - 1x8GB - 2666 MHz

HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1tb - 7200 rpm

SSD: Kingston A40 120GB

Windows 10 Pro

 

I was thinking of upgrading my 1050 Ti to an rtx 2060, and for my ram i wanted to upgrade from 1x8 to 2x8GB. But my question is: If I upgrade my GPU will I also have to upgrade my CPU to prevent bottlenecking? Or will my 3 2200G be sufficient for the new graphics card? And should I maybe upgrade some other components in my PC? Maybe the power supply or something?

 

Thanks!

These days it’s really hard to bottleneck a CPU. If you watch this video by Jayztwocents you’ll see what I mean 

 

He wasn’t getting any bottlenecking issues until he paired a 2080 Super/2080 Ti with an i3. So you should be fine. As for the RAM I recommend 16GB of 3200 MHz RAM at the best price you can afford.

 

If you’re willing to search and wait a bit Newegg frequently has Shell Shocker sales on that kind of RAM.

Oh shoot! I just realized I posted the wrong video. This is the one I meant to post.

 

 

Sorry about that!
