i need some help

Go to solution Solved by DeadnightWarrior,

I wouldn't bother upgrading your PSU, a 750W 80+ GOLD should be plenty even for a high end GPU (the Ryzen 5 5600X is very efficient, things would change if you had, say, an i9 11900K IMHO).

 

As for mainboards, I'd choose one with a B550 chipset, there's no real reason to go X570 unless you want to pursue extreme CPU / RAM / GPU overclocking.

 

Graphics cards? Just wait. This is not the time to buy one, IF you can find one.

Earlier today I saw a 3090 selling on eBay for over 3100€ and the auction hadn't even ended yet! This is I-N-S-A-N-E.

 

Budget (including currency):  £800 GBP 

Country: England

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for:  COD, F1 , ROCKET LEAUGUE 

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

 

i have a pc with a 750w power supply, amd 5 5600x and a 1650 super. i want to upgrade my graphics card and motherboard and probably psu as needed. what should i do?

Two things here -
-What are your full specs (PSU, Case, mobo, SSD)
-There is a global graphics card shortage currently, and finding a GPU at a good price is extremely hard.

geometry is hard
b550 > x570
