Upgrading Pc in need of advice

Posted

Budget (including currency): £300-£500

Country: England

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Lots of games

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/xK7YBZ
So my motherboard is on its last legs and time to improve. I was looking at I7700K and x370/x470 motherboards, which will help allow for SLI crossfire as a future upgrade. But I am useless with PCs so seeking advice.
Thanks in advanced for any advice

Ps I am switching up to windows 10 aswell now it works properly

SLI 

Save your money, outside of some *very* select games, the cost for SLI won't give you the return you are hoping for.

i7 7700k is terrible value since ryzen 3 3300x beats it, and x370 and x470 boards only support AMD.

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)

I would recommend upgrading to a B450 motherboard (such as an MSI B450 Tomahawk Max) and Ryzen 3800X. I wouldn't recommend SLI for the majority of games since they won't really be able to take advantage of it.
