Hello,

 

I am looking to upgrade a couple parts to my PC. I was wondering which part(s) to upgrade would provide me the most bang for my $$. I am thinking my CPU is outdated now but any suggestions would be helpful. I have attached a screenshot of SPECCY for reference. Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!

A pcpartpicker list is much better than a speccy screenshot that I have to download

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

@Fasauceome Good to know!

@SavageNeo EVGA Supernova 750G 

decent psu. first get the cpu upgrade. when you have enough money buy rx 5700/5700XT or rtx2070 super/2080super if higher budget.

 

for lower udget even rx 5600XT would work.
