upgrading pc Upgrading Opinions?

[Techno_Magnus]

I am thinking about putting a few hundred dollars into a upgrade. I have chose the parts, I just was wanting to know if they're good choices OR if there are better choices. My main reason for upgrading is that 1050ti is NOT great for VR use. I am fairly budget restricted, but I have more or less $600.

Current Build:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X

GPU: Nvidia GTX 1050-Ti

 

SSD: WD Black SN750 M.2 250GB

RAM: G.SKILL Flare X DDR4 3200 C14 2x8GB

Upgrade:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X

GPU: AMD RX 6600

SSD: Samsung 980 M.2 250GB

RAM: G.SKILL Flare X DDR4 3200 C14 2x8GB

 

I also hope that this will future proof my PC for as little as that may last.

250GB SSDs are a bit iffy, but you can keep the old in addition to the new one I guess, otherwise you may probably want to downgrade to 5600X and invest the savings into the better GPU.

I should have pointed out that I also have 1x Tb drive and 2x 500gb drives as well.

Maybe worth changing the CPU to a 5600 and GPU to a 6600 XT / 6700 XT / 3060 Ti.

 

Also the 980 is usually overpriced and not even good. Most of the time you can find another 500gb drive for the same price.

I'd keep the SSD and put the money in a better GPU like a 6700XT

That makes sense. I changed it to keeping the drive and getting a 6600xt.

6700XT is not a bad combo with 5600X.

 

But for me I would try to get more than 8-12 GB of VRAM.
