PC Upgrade Opinions.

[delete_me0]

Budget (including currency): 500 USD /40,000 INR

Country: India 

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: 90% gaming ,mostly cpu intensive games (Valorant ,Fortnite)

 

my current setup(my first build ,made a few mistakes and learnt from it):

1. cpu - i3 9100f (4c/4t)
2. gpu - gtx 1660ti
3. motherboard - gigabyte B360m d3h
4. power supply - corsair 450w
5. storage - 1 tb seagate barracuda HDD
6. ram - 1x8 gb 2300mhz DDR4 value ram

things need to change in my setup:

• cpu bottleneck, just throw this i3 9100f off my pc
• HDD annoying at sometimes, slower install speeds and boot times

my doubt:

1. should i buy an i7 9700f or buy a H560 series motherboard and an i5 11400f
2. buying a 500gb samsung SATA SSD
3. buying a set 2x8gb DDR4 3200mhz RAM.

i am mostly gonna buy the SSD and RAM ,just wanted to make sure my decision with CPU is correct ,i regretted that i3 9100f soo much

CPU intensive games like Valorant and Fortnite? get a 5600X the gains are crazy. 400+ FPS

Not worth the small jumps to get a whole new or different platforms. The i7 9700F would be a good choice for this.

Then get yourself an SSD, honestly any decent one will do, sata or m.2. Either reinstall windows on there or install your favorite load intensive games on there.

Can you find a used CPU cheaper? A 9600 would still be a nice bump if you can get one for a decent deal.

Ideally, you'd get a CPU and an SSD; I can't even fathom using an HDD these days.

Suggesting CPUs that are hard to find, and when found are inflated isn't really a great option.

the most appealing ryzen cpu is the ryzen 5 3600, but the i5 11400f outperforms it in performance at a lower cost. So i would consider getting a H560 series motherboard and an i5 11th gen than going team red. 11th is too strong on budget

ryzen 5600x is a total ripoff bro, ryzen 5 5600x costs 300usd for 6c/12t and barely overtakes the intel i5 9100f , which cost something less than 200usd.

 

Intel 11th gen is soo gud for budget builds, team red doesnt even stand a chance

yes thanks for the suggestion. I didnt even notice the price drop from the release of 11th gen. its available around 300 bucks , definitely considering  buying it.

i disagree but ok. I only recommend the 5600x because the performance in FPS games is crazy. My friend gets 600 FPS in valorant
