Hi, I'm planning to do some upgrade to my PC. This is not really old, I built it about 1-2 years ago, but I need more performance for rendering some topographic data (Last time I did that, it goes for 3 days). Some upgrade that I already have in mind:

1. RAM
I think I'll upgrade to 32 GB....Or should I go higher?
2. Video Card
How about RTX2060 Super? or RX 570 is already fine?

3. PSU
I'm planning to replace it with 80+ gold and full modular unit. Depending on other upgrades, maybe about 550-650W range.

4. Case
The current case have a decent airflow but no good support for radiators...and really hard to access some fans positions. I'm currently looking at Phanteks P600, but I'm open to any recommendations.

5. CPU
Should I upgrade? Bios already updated, so ryzen 3000 series is not a problem.

The monitor is fine for now, the storage is not a problem because every project come in separate external drive (thinking of building NAS but maybe later). Should I add extra case fans or AIO cooler too? What do you guys think?

 

Thanks for your help!

Power supply first. Your current one is dangerously bad and can end up kill components.

 

After that, get a card. Think the RX 5600 XT or 5700 non XT

PSU, RAM then GPU.

Thank you all. Yes, the PSU absolutely will be the first step. What readily available around here for 550 - 650 w is Corsair CXM, Cooler Master Masterwatt series, and Thermaltake Litepower. Need to dig some review first about those three...

 

@5x5 yes, will definitely look into those two.

 

@AldiPrayogi for RAM, how high should I go?

Which exact masterwatt model?

Litepower models are fire hazards, avoid

CX grey are decent budget options, though I'd prefer q Corsair TXM or Be Quiet Pure Power Gold
