Go to solution Solved by Stahlmann,

I'd probably strech the budget to 500$ and get a 5600X + B550 Board + DDR4 combo.

The 5600X will be released tomorrow for 299$.


For example a 5600X (299$) + MSI B550 A-Pro (140$) + 16GB DDR4 Corsair Vengeance 3600MHz ram (60$)

 

You can get the same Mobo and RAM with a Ryzen 5 3600 if you want to stay at 400$.

I've been gradually upgrading this pc, I just upgraded to a GTX 1650 Super 4GB, and an EVGA 600W PSU. I haven't upgraded the Mobo yet, it is an Asus P7H55-M LX, I got a core i7 860 off of Ebay. I wanna know if upgrading to an RTX 3070 would be a good idea, or if I should save to upgrade my platform first.

What would you suggest upgrading to at a minimum? 

Make sure your quote people so that we can see your responses.

 

What is your budget and country?

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

About $400 USA

If you need to buy now, a ryzen 5 3600 in a cheap b450 or a520 board is good value, but if you can wait a month or two for cheaper ryzen CPUs to come out you can get a 5000 series CPU

I'd need to save for a while anyway, and was wanting to upgrade to the new ones.

If you saved up another $100 the ryzen 5 5600X is easily within your budget.

If someone did not use reason to reach their conclusion in the first place, you cannot use reason to convince them otherwise.
