I need help with what to upgrade in my system. I have a Ryzen 7 2700 (non-X) with 16 GB G-skill Ripjaw ( 2x 8GB) DDR4 RAM and a MSI Armor RX 580 Graphics Card. All of this is mounted on on a MSI B450 Tomahawk. I am running this through the DP on my 27" 144hz MSI Optix mag274r.  I am currently using this rig to Escape from Tarkov mainly but I am not getting the FPS I was expecting. My graphics card is at 100% while my CPU is running at a lower percent. I'm thinking about upgrading my graphics card to a Evga Geforce rtx 2070 gaming and my RAM to Crucial Ballistix 32 GB (2x 16 GB) DDR4 3600. I am open to other options on what needs upgrading or the hardware itself.

3600Mhz might be more than the CPU can handle, but some DDR4 3200 overclocked to something like 3466 would yield a decent improvement. As for the graphics card, the market is so rough right now. A 2070 would be a big improvement if you get one for a reasonable price.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

How many watts do I need?

Should I stay with the same brand of RAM or choose a different one?
