Should I upgrade any of my components

[Hunted_marksman]

Cpu- r5 2600x

Mb- aorus elite b450

Ram 3200mhz 8gb*2

Gpu- Vega 56 flashed to 64

HDD - 6tb

500gb ssd 

700w smart RGB 

Deepcool v2 shield with 6 fans 

I was originally looking at threadrippers but learnt they are not as good as they look 

I have round 400-450 GBP

If anything really needs to be replaced, I'd say GPU, you should wait for September when Big Navi releases and grab a new GPU or a 5700xt which should go on sale. 

As for going threadripper even if the performance was good enough to upgrade to, your budget is way to low. Threadripper is pricey and your budget wouldn't cut it.

Is the Vega 56 that slow compared to the 5700xt?

Yes, the 5700XT is quite an improvement over the Vega 56. 30% better or more in most cases. Especially at higher resolutions.

Thanks I play in 4k which is quite demanding my original thought was to get the new rDNA 2 but I'll look at the 5700 xt another issue is are the drivers still broken or do they work

Playing at 4k you'll want to look into a CPU upgrade as well. I personally prefer 2k over 4k, even with my system 4k isn't where I want it to be to have as my main resolution. You should wait until September for Big Navi and the new 4th gen Ryzen processors, save up some extra money while you wait so you can do both CPU and GPU.

1st Gen Threadripper isn't worth investing in. If you want to go Threadripper at least get a 2nd or 3rd Gen. Better yet, wait for 4th Gen in September and get the 4700x equivalent, unless you're doing heavy video editing/rendering or 3D modeling and design a Threadripper would be pointless.

I'd say B550 or X570 would be a good idea, depends on the processor you decide to go with which one to use, and we won't know until they come out or the release the info on them.

I'll go for b550 based on its cheaper price I've been looking at this mb https://www.ebuyer.com/982914-msi-mpg-b550-gaming-carbon-wifi-atx-motherboard-mpg-b550-gaming-carbon-wifi?gclid=Cj0KCQjwgJv4BRCrARIsAB17JI5MxmUM_NkMJzIYpwrGHwqSkgXT6SRBvl8g6fH4BSz0Z8UH_x7iRToaAlQSEALw_wcB i need wireless as my router is on the other side of the house and it's difficult to move and the dongle I have is awful do you know anything about this board and if it's good to get personally I like gigabyte and always got their boards but none have wireless as far as I can see

The MPG series by MSI isn't too bad, never personally used them but a friend has the X570 with a 3800x and loves it. I prefer Gigabyte boards myself. The Gigabyte B550 Aorus Pro AC has built in wifi.
