Other details

 

Looking to upgrade my current setup - as detailed below. Thinking of going up to Ryzen 5600X but also saw 3700X for cheaper. Is there any point in upping the RAM to 32GB? Also looking at NVME M.2 drive - thinking at least 1TB - anyone got any good ideas. Realise I'll be GPU restricted if I increase my CPU speeds but thinking in current market I'll make do with my RX580...

 

Also if I go for a better CPU probably need a better cooler - Had thought about Noctua NH-U12 but happy to take suggestions? 

 

Processor: Ryzen 2600 3.9Ghz - Stock cooler

Mobo: B450-F Gaming II

PSU: Corsair TXM 750W 80+ Gold

Ram: Corsair Vengance RGB 16BG (2x 8GB)

GPU: AMD Radeon RX 580 4GB

Storage: Kingston 2.5" 480GB SSD - boot drive, WD 1TB 3.5" SATA

Case: Corsair SPEC-06 White

Noctua NH-U12? Why not use some Corsair AIO for more juice from the CPU?

Upgrade the RAM, to 32 or 64 gigs. 16gigs it little too less for gaming and streaming at the same time.

Add a big 4TB HDD, to store video and games also.

 Kingston 2.5" 480GB SSD for boot drive is enough, don't use NVMe SSD.

Not everyone overclocks, and u12 is gonna be fine for most cpus anyways, though id rather get a beefier cooler like fuma 2 since they are usually cheaper and cool better

 

Btw cpu oc has been dead since 9th gen so no point in cpu oc
