GPU and PSU upgrade

[RusLi99]

Budget (including currency): ~650 USD

Country: Romania

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Squad, RDR2, Warzone etc.

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

This is my current setup:

• AsRock b450 pro4f

• Ryzen 5 2600

• GTX 1070

• 16 GB Ram

• Seasonic GM500 PSU

I am thinking of upgrading my GPU to a Asus RTX 3060ti TUF Gaming mainly because it has 3 fans and my room gets kinda hot.

I also need to upgrade the PSU and I am thinking between Corsair RM850e V2 and Seasonic G12 GC 850W.

My questions are:

Would this Asus RTX 3060ti TUF Gaming be a good fit? I could also choose other models of the RTX 3060ti like the Asus OC, Asus dual OC, Asus OC V2 LHR, MSI Ventus 2X OC, Palit Ti Dual LHR, Zotac Twin Edge LHR

For the PSU; Would the Seasonic G12 GC be enough as it is cheaper than the Corsair one? It is not modular, but I don`t care that much about it.

My last question is, can I do this upgrade for now and delay the CPU upgrade a couple of months even if I will have some bottleneck problems? I will also upgrade the CPU to a 5th generation Ryzen (If you suggest it, I will also upgrade the motherboard)

I think that I should also mention that my main monitor is a Samsung 1440p 75Hz.

Thank you!

Go for the 3060ti if you can find one for a good price. It's not going to cause issues with the 2600. I had the exact same spec as you for a year and worked fine. I then upgraded to a 5600 on the same asrock b450 pro4 and works fine.

Why would you need to upgrade the PSU, the 3060Ti certainly does not need an 850W unit.

 

But don't upgrade your GPU, solve the CPU bottleneck first. At least get a Ryzen 5 5600 or 7 5700X and then, only then, consider a GPU upgrade.
