My PC upgrade plan.

Bakisha · July 2, 2021

Budget (including currency): About 900 - 950 Euros.

Country: Montenegro

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming, programming, etc..

Other details: I'm upgrading my Motherboard, GPU, CPU, PSU and RAM. I already have a decent PC, but I've decided that the time for an upgrade has come...

My monitor is an AOC 24G2U 144hz, 24", IPS monitor with 1ms response time.
My current Motherboard is a really old ASRock H310CM. I've already bought a new Motherboard (Gigabyte B550 Gaming X).
My current GPU is a single fan MSI GTX 1650. I will upgrade it to either an MSI 3060, or EVGA 3060.

My current CPU is a core i5 - 9400f. I will be upgrading it to Ryzen 7 3700X.
My current RAM is a Coolermaster 750W 80+ white tier. I will be upgrading it to NZXT C750 750W 80+ Gold. Full modular.

My current RAM is HyperX 2666MHz, 2x8. I will be upgrading it to Corsair Vengance Pro 2x8 3600MHz.

I will also be putting new fans in my case, due to the reason that I only have 4 (3 in front, one for CPU). My case model is an Armaggeddon Kagami K-3. I was thinking of getting 3 120mm Corsair fans. The 3 fans that came with the case that are on the front will stay for now. I can do 2 120mm fans on the top of the case and one 120mm fan at the back of the case. Please let me know if you would like to suggest a better brand for 120mm fans.

I have 2 storage units. One is a 447GB Kingston SSD (for my OS) and the other one is a 1TB Samsung 870 QVO SSD (for my games). Therefore, I will not be installing new storage units.

Is there anything I should change? Will everything work fine?

Unless you get veangeance lpx, corsair ram seems abit overpriced, 2666mhz ram can be overclocked to 3200mhz and with enough voltage you might even be able to overclock it to 3600mhz, so no point in upgrading your ram

Psu will work fine, but id suggest upgrading to an 850w for extra futureproofing

Corsair fans are kinda expensive but itll work, maybe go for arctic p12 or f12 fans, also very good fans

Gpu prices are rubbish right now so maybe wait awhile for your gpu upgrade

Otherwise decent upgrades

Your new build seems pretty good so far, only thing I would personally change is to get the 3600 if you don't need the extra cores and to put that towards a 3060 TI. Just double check timings on ram to see if they are fast because ryzen still really benefits from fast ram.
