Upgrading a Prebuilt

[TylerSyrko]

Budget (including currency): 900 USD

Country: United States

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Ark Survival Ascended, Dead By Daylight and common use 

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): 

Current Setup:

MotherBoard: B350 Bazooka

CPU: AMD Ryzen 1600 

GPU: AMD Radeon Rex 580 XTR

 

Desired:

Motherboard (SAME): B350 Bazooka

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800x (I have this)

GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT (not sure about this)

 

I want to keep the motherboard and upgrade around it I am currently trying to have a nice setup able to run Ark Survival Ascended with preferred ultra setting enabled. The “Recommended” components for CPU is AMD Ryzen 5 3600X, and a GPU of AMD Radeon RX 6800. I currently have the CPU that is above and then I need a CPU Cooler. I have been looking at corsair for the RGB that I want to invest in the future but unsure if they are a good pick. If I could have some recommendations that are around 150 or about 50 dollars above I would appreciate it!

 

 

The graphics card above is quite steep I would consider a different one, but I believe my current PSU is around 550W but I know the recommended PSU above it around 700W. If you have any alternate GPUs and/or have a good recommendation for a PSU for the GPU please let me know The PSU i have also looked at Corsair but they are quite steep as well any recommendation are appricated!

Not a big fan of corsairs AIO or any AIO coolers in general, air does just as good or even better in a lot of cases if your case has proper air flow. A custom loop could do way better than air but thats out of the budget. Could also swap out the RX 7800 XT for a 4070 (MSI Ventus one is like $550 so about ~$10 more) there both fairly close in performance overall, I personally would go with the 4070 since I prefer NVIDIA GPUs. To my knowledge if raytracing is on the 4070 will perform slightly better and if its off the 7800 will perform slightly better in most games.
