Currently stuck with my current PC.

[BallinCollin]

Yo yo, so I built my first PC back in 2020 (back in covid which prices killed me lmao), but I have a

Ryzen 9 3900x

MSI 2060 OC

AS Rock x570 Phantom Gaming X (with broken USB front panel connector so no front USBs)

and 32GB G.Skill RAM 2400 mt/s

I planned on upgrading to an Asus 4070 OC, Asus ROG Strix B550-F Gaming WiFi II, and 32GB Corsair RAM. Should I still continue with those upgrades or just sell this current PC and build a whole new one? Will take all the help possible with what to do in every aspect. Appreciate it yall

A 5700x3D would also be a noticeable upgrade to your current build.

What are you trying to achieve with the upgrade? What to you use the computer for? Over all the GPU would be a good upgrade but I don't see much point in changing the motherboard and RAM.

4070 would be a great upgrade on the 2060, but if you want to change motherboard and memory I'd switch to AM5, otherwise just use your current CPU or upgrade to a 5700X3D. To be more blunt: changing from X570 to B550 and 32GB DDR4 to 32GB DDR4 is pointless.

So I play some triple-a-games for the most part, but also get dips in FPS on certain games as well. I also did forgot to mention I broke a connector off the front USB panel on the mobo. So since I built this PC I  haven't had front USB plugs (which isn't that big of a deal for me) but I sorta thought it would just be better have to say I have it. my G Skill is 2400 MT/s and just thought upgrading to something faster would be an upgrade in itself.

Consider this USB 2.0 to 3.0 adapter

or this USB-C to 3.0 adaper since you have one of these

It's a good upgrade but you can try overclocking the ram first if you want. You have a pretty decent motherboard and your setup could handle it. Even just enabling XMP and manually increasing the ram frequency can work if you're lucky.

waste of money

replace these sidegrades with a used 200-250$ 5800x3d or a new 5700x3d

 

as for that 2400mhz ram i assume its pretty old so dual rank which means itll outperform even a 3600c16 (non bdie scam bin) single rank 32gb kit that youd get nowadays, send a thaiphoon burner pic to identify ram ic, are these 2x16 or 4x8? if 2x16 theyre definitely dual rank but if 4x8 they can potentially be quad rank which means 250-300trfc for ~3800 and extra performance due to tight subtimings albiet may be abit of a pain to tune, though if 4x8 that consists of 2 2x8 kits mixed together send 4 thaiphoon burner pics to identify all ics cause very likely to be mixed ics

 

as for the 4070 consider getting a 4070 super which should be around 600$ but quite abit better performance wise compared to a regular 4070, worth the extra 60-80$ over the 4070
