Hi all,

2.5 years ago I made a build focusing on music making and making it as cheap as possible, therefore I opted for integrated graphics card. Now I have some cash to spare and want to add dedicated GPU. My main question now is whether it makes sense to just add GPU to this build and live on OR it's better to look out for a complete revamp and change multiple parts?

 

Main parts of my initial build are:

CPU: Ryzen 7 5700G
Motherboard: MSI B450-A Pro Max

RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB
PSU: Corsair CV550

With all other parts, the whole PC build totaled me 680

I am still very much happy with my PC and it does what I expected from it fully.

 

I am occasional gamer, so my only requirement is that it supports CS2 on 200+ FPS, with all other tasks I have no issues. Also, important that it has some performance room to spare so that I don't have to upgrade PC for the next 5 years or so. From the longevity consideration comes the question if I should only buy GPU or upgrade multiple parts.

 

My budget for GPU is €400, I was looking at Radeon RX 7700XT

Open to your suggestions and explanations!

 

Thanks in advance!
