Upgrading CPU, Board, RAM?

[whm1974]

OK to save some money this Year, I'm thinking of simply buying a new CPU, Board, and RAM. I may get new GPU first or wait until I can get everything else. What I currently have, since June 2013:

 

SeaSonic 550G(watts) PSU.

i5-4670 CPU.

16GB DDR3 1600Mhz RAM.

GTX 760 /w 4GB dGPU.

Two 1TB Crucial M500 SSDs.

Corsair 300R ATX Case.

 

What I'm planning later:

 

Ryzen 6 or 7 3000 5000 Series. Leaning towards 5000 Series.

32 GB DDR4 3200Mhz RAM.

AM4 550 Board. Maybe ASRock As no Issues with Brand.

 

Later I'll replace the M500 SSDs with 2TB ones. Perhaps Crucial As Issue with the Brand either.

 

I should be able to all if this in 2021. As long as I avoid 7-11 and Limit my Take Out to Only Once per Week. Let's Say Domino's, Since they have a Special: Large Pizza w/ 5 Toppings for $9.99. Four Meals for me. Inc Awards: 6th Free Med 2 Toppings.

 

As mentioned Elsewhere, Anchovies replaced the Bacon and Italian Sausage.

Would a R9 be a worthwhile Upgrade? As in in 12 Cores AT 3000Mhz to 3400Mhz...

Only for gaming, not worth it. If you earn money through work and a r9 saves you time, go for it

Just for gaming and multitasking even recording or streaming I don't think there is much point going beyond a 5800X

While I have considered Upgrading to the Radeon 6800 depending on Price, I sort decided that due to already using a Nvidia GPU and that those do have a lower power consumption and TDP and produce less Heat as well. I have to check if the 3070 use a single 8 Pin power connector or two.

 

Anyway will I a new a new PSU? I do have a EVGA 850 Watt Bronze Spare PSU in my Closet. But I will only use a 80+ Gold PSU for nice Builds.

I guess I will have to check Nvidia's Website and see what Wattage PUS they advise with a 3070 Class Card. It does kind of depends on 3050Ti Memory Specs.

To gain performance you should replace your graphics card soon.

If you can find it go for the 5600X, if not you can find good deals on the 2700X or i5 10600kf

 

550w will be very problematic for future cards, even if its good quality.

I reccommend: 

Ryzen 7 3800x/xt

An X570/B550 Board

16GB (DDR4 ofc) 2x8 3200/3600MHz

Well guys I do prefer to use a 65w TDP CPU as I have no plans on overclocking. I really hate to replace the 80+ Gold SeaSonic 550w PSU. However I do have an EVGA 850w Bronze PSU I could use.

 

I may check Nvidia's Website to check how many Watts are needed.

 

For 3060Ti it is 600w PSU. And what is a 12 pin adapter? Are Graphic cards going to require 12-pins now?

I think I'm going to Spec some Upgrades on www.pcpartpicker.com just to have a list to work with. I'll post my selections later.

This is what I just picked out:

Graphics Card I'll pick out out later. As of now, my PSU can handle the load. It is only 164w. Later after Price become lower, I choose a dGPU.

I should mention that CPU is merely a Placeholder for now. I'm really waiting on the 5600 Ryzen 5 to be release, as that is the CPU I want.
