Upgrading my old rig

Go to solution Solved by Dukesilver27-,

The games you mentioned don't really need a greater GPU, so I'd leave it to you if you want to upgrade or not.

13600K's gaming performance is almost the same as 13700K, so save that money.

Swapped the AIO to a better one, with RGB too, even tho 13600k dont need 360 AIO, but since the case is O11D, 240 AIO would seem stupid.

Swapped the SSD to something cheaper while still maintaining the same user experience.

Hey Community,

im currently running this system https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/DysFjZ and im looking forward to an upgrade in round about 1-2 months basically i want the upgrade done before D4 releases.
I thought about this upgrade https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/kpZ3PX but im not sure about the Cooler, Case and PSU (be quiet! Pure Power 12 M 1000W ATX 3.0 want to upgrade to 4000 series once the 5000 releases).


Cooler I thought AIO is a good thing to do, im up for everything.
Case doesn't even need a window, I want good airflow an decent dB's i got told the Lian Li is doing great at this.
PSU not sure if ATX 3.0 ist worth it yet.

Thanks in advance for your help,
sincerly DonMerkuzio

Everything in your build is reusable except for the cpu, gpu, and mobo aka the parts you actually wanna upgrade so dont waste money on uneccesary junk like ddr5, case swap, aio, etc. And focus all your budget onto the cpu board and gpu

 

13700k + <200€ z690 + 4080 should be acheivable within your budget

For gaming you should always think first about GPU upgrade

But in your case any upgrade will be bottlenecked by the old CPU, so upgrading it is needed as well

But then rather get the cheapest CPU that will fully use the most expensive GPU you can get than the reverse ! 🙂

 

So I'd suggest that, the 13500 is pretty nice, and the 6800XT is 3080 level of performance so quite better than a 2070

If you can spend more get a 13600K and/or a 7900XT

Well I thought going with DDR5 and an ATX 3.0 PSU would the better future proof option since i upgrade my rig around every 6-7 years.

I thought about an ATX 3.0 PSU and going for a 4080 or a 7900XTX next year when the prices drop a bit since i don't need heavy GPU load at this moment.
AIO I just picked a 360 one but, gonna adjust to your recommendation.
