I am planning to upgrade my PC, more FPS-game oriented.

Go to solution Solved by 191x7,

For the monitor, check the Hardware Unboxed and Monitors Unboxed youtube channels.

 

For the high refresh gaming, you'd need a 7800X3D to get any improvement.

 

For the RAM, make sure you're on the latest Bios version, apply XMP (EXPO, DOCP) and lower the frequency to 6000 manually.

Budget (including currency): 1000 (Euros)

Country: Romania

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Fully used for competitive gaming, (Valorant, Apex Legends, Overwatch 2, CS2)

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 PC. Things that are missing from it are listed below:

 

Lenovo Legion Y25f-10 24.5 inch 1ms FreeSync 144Hz (https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Y25f-10-Monitor-Adjustable-65D9GAC4US/dp/B07QGR8BPF) - One of my main peripheral upgrades that i need to get through.

 

I am currently looking for any type of monitor that has 240hz, strictly for FPS games. I play at 1920x1080 resolution and i am planning to stay on that.

 

And i am planning to maybe change my RAM since i can't run my pc in a stable environment while XMP is active at 6400 MT/s it black screens me and i always have to restart so i'm keeping it at 4800 MT/s so i am barely using it's full capacity

Thank you for the channels and the recommendations, with the lastest bios version i've managed to get 6000MT/s smoothly.
