Planning upgrade and need advice

[Likeusb]

Budget (including currency): <500€ for GPU, <200€ for CPU

Country: Lithuania

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Arma 3, Microsoft Flight Sim 2024, Ready or Not, Minecraft, some other games here and there | Light video editing, photo editing

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): Upgrading from this build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/PvwBcx,

 

Buying the CPU in early January, buying GPU probably early Summer or so.

 

I also need the GPU to either have really good noise cancellation software for both output and input built in, or I need a software that does a better or equal job to NVIDIA Broadcast. This is a hard requirement, if background noise removal, especially for output, is not present, the GPU recommendation is basically void immediately.

 

Currently I've got a general idea of what I wanna buy, that being an i5-12600K, it'd cost ~150-200€, and Intel seems to be my only choice without a platform upgrade, which would put the cost way higher than 300€ I imagine.

 

I do plan on eventually moving to Team Red with the Ryzen 7 9700X3D or similar, but that's a future upgrade for a future me. In terms of GPU, I've looked at a few, so far the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB seems within my price range, coming in just under 500€.

 

Any advice would be highly appreciated

If you're not buying until the summer just get the 5060, or whatever has the VRAM you're looking for. Planning that far in advance really isn't a smart idea, too much changes. What Nvidia practices do you find scummy? If it's using their market position to profit...well, every single company does that, so I'd probably think about changing your stance on it.

As much as a lot of us would like to help you it is very difficult to understand what you're trying to say.  After trying to read your post, I could only find three periods in the whole post.  Not breaking it up into two or three  paragraphs makes your post extremely hard to read, therefore, making it hard to understand.

 

Is it possible to repost or edit so that you could include a paragraph break?  I would suggest at least three to make it easier to read.

 

Thanks for your help, looking forward to your next post.

Yeah, sorry, I hope that cleaned it up a little

GPU is more a general matter in this case, and yeah, a lot might change in that time, so I primarily was looking for input on the CPU and just some general advice for the GPU

 

And in terms of the practices, it's more the lack of value those cards have for games, but fair point on that

Since you're leaning towards a game oriented machine, have you considered something along the lines of an AMD 7000 series GPU?  Currently I am running a Ryzen 7 7800x3d cpu with an AMD Radeon 6750 XT GPU and I am getting crazy fast (300+) FPS with that combination.  If you check my system specs you can see my total system including the CPU, the GPU, the Ram, and the boot and storage SSD's.

 

Take care and good luck.  And thanks for fixing the original post making it easier to read.  It helps a LOT.

I have, but unfortunately, from what I can see, AMD lacks a native GPU-powered noise cancellation software, so unless there's an amazing piece of software that'd fix that issue, I fear moving.

 

Though if you know of any good software for that, I'd love to test it out and see if it works better, and if it does, I'd gladly move to team red all the way

I'll have to check out the 13400F, thanks for the recommendation!

And when it comes to AMD, how's their offerings for background noise removal, or are there just generally any good pieces of software for that?

No idea tbh.

Howdy there again,

 

With my system, since it's all AMD related more or less, I use the AMD Adrenaline software and it works great for me.  I know there is some sort of noise suppression built in with the Adrenaline software but I don't know how it works or what it does because I'm just not that smart.  I went to the Adrenaline page and found this.  Looks like I have some reading to do so I can understand it better.  Maybe if you take a look at the same page I looked at, it will give you a better understanding.  I just know that it works for me.

Take care and good luck.  Hope the Adrenaline page answers more of your questions.

Greetings, I appreciate it!

Happy to see that they do have a competitor. Would it be possible for you to enable it for output, record some kind of audio that would include background noise, and then record what the output filtered through the suppresion on would be? If not, it's totally alright, but I'd love to have a point of reference before deciding on whether or not it'll be good enough

I would like to help you, but like I said, I really don't have a clue how it actually works or what it does.  When things like that happen to me and there is something that says "auto" or something similar the that is what I do.  Darn near everything in my system is set to auto except in the BIOS, I have XMP turned on and I also have the fans (3 of them) on my GPU (Radeon RX 6750 XT) on a preset setting so the fans are turning all the time.

 

Since we have the thermistat on the heater set to 68 to try and save on utilities during the winter, the fans would not run at all on the GPU because with the standard setting, the room was too cool for them to automatically run.  The CPU fans run all the time and now the fans on the GPU run all the time.  There is one fan on the back of the case for exhaust and there are two fans in the top of the case for exhaust.  So, as a result, the only thing making any noise at all in the room where my pc is located are the fans in my case.  I will try and figure out how to do what you ask, and when I do, I will drop you a note.

 

Take care and good luck.

I see, that's alright, thanks for the help!
