Hey, wondering if it is a good idea to get a GTX 1650 Super as a place holder card for a 6800xt, when I manage to get one down the line? 

Ryzen 5 3600

MSI B550 Tomahawk

16GB 3600mHz Trident Z RGB

1650 Super

Fractal Design Meshify C

Samsung 970 Evo 1TB

It is but going by the specs in your sig both the 1650 and the 6800xt will be heavily bottlenecked.

Quote

CPU: Intel Core i3-4310 @ 3.40 GHz

GPU: Intel HD Graphics 4400

Ram: 1x4GB 800MHz DDR3 

 

I will recommend an NHu12s (or an NHd15 (maybe)) for your PC build. Quote or @ me @Prodigy_Smit for me to see your replies.

New build, that is my current / old system. The new one will be:

Ryzen 5 3600

RX 6800XT

2x8GB 3600MHz Ram

Samsung 970 Evo

MSI b550 Tomahawk

 

and a few other parts but they are the main ones

 

Thanks for your concern though

No problem. In that case the 1650 is a good placeholder card.

Definitely good. You could also consider a cheaper 2600 Ryzen and go for the 1660 Super with the what you save. In any case, all good.

Ill stick with the ryzen 5 3600, as the 1650 super is only a temporary card until I can get a rx 6800xt!

I'm rocking a R5-3600 with RTX3070, and CPU is bottlenecking GPU in CP2077 1080P. I would suggest to go with R5-5600X or Intel

does not make any sense. 5600x is better than any intel pu right now

QUOTE ME  FOR ANSWER.

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 :)

Personally if I'm paying that price range (around USD 700), I'll take a RTX3080 with better feature set (i.e. RTS and DLSS) and minor to none performance penalty at traditional rendering.
