Hello everyone. 

 

I built my first rig after discussing, taking advice and learning a lot, from here, so when the time came for finally upgrading it, about 5 years later, I couldn't help but turn back to my trusty ol LTT forum. 

 

So my current specs are as below:

CPU: Ryzen 3 2200G OC'ed 3.9GHz

iGPU: Vega 8 OC'ed 1300MHz

RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8x2GB 3000MHz

Mobo: Gigabyte Aorus B450M

PSU: Corsair CX450W 

Storage: 250GB + 500GB BX500, 1TB WD Blue.

Monitor: LG 24MK600M 75Hz Freesync 

 

As you can see, the build is nothing daring, just good ol trusty components that have served me satisfactorily since the PC's conception. Now, I've started to take interest in new games and some light video editing work as I got my hands on DJI action cameras, and the iGPU isn't cutting it. 

 

Finally, what I need your help with:

I'm eyeing the Radeon 7600 8GB GPU as I'm tight on budget (as always) and don't plan on upgrading to 1440P / 4k anytime in near future. After some preliminary research, it seems the best bet for high 1080P gaming along with okayish productivity performance, especially considering the price, ₹22500 (~$260) compared to RTX4060 which costs from around ₹26000-₹30000 (~$300 - $350).

The older RX6600 costs around ₹20000 ($230).

I know my poor 2200G will cause bottleneck, but for now, the lack of a GPU is my main issue. 

 

I want to go for RX7600 as it's newer and does give about 30% more performance than RX6600. Nvidia is just costly in India. But, RX7600 will mostly require a new PSU right? As minimum recommended is 550W, whereas RX6600 will mostly run on my current PSU.

Do you guys recommend going for RX7600 over RX6600? If so, what PSU should I go for? I bought the CX450 keeping in mind that I'll add a GPU down the line, but here we are. Also, I'm really stretching my budget for the 7600, but don't want to cheap out on PSU, especially since I had wonderful experience with Corsair..

 

Pls do give your thoughts, advises on this.

Thank you.

Whats your total budget?

And what parts overall do you plan to keep?

I'd say max budget would be ₹25000 INR. That's really streching it. I plan to keep the motherboard, ram and cpu for now. Would like to keep the psu too, but I don't think that would be possible now would it? -.-

Do you have enough of a computer that you'd be able to keep literally everything and only replace the power supply and throw a GPU in?

If you can do that then I'd recommend trying to do then, then try to get this

 

RX 6600 is a good enough for entry and if you make money in the future I'd recommend trying to get like a Ryzen 5600

I dont understand what you meant by the first line.. I do have a working computer.. Yes there will be bottleneck, but it will work. 
If I go with RX6600, my existing CX450 should technically work right? 
Yes, upgrading to 5000 series CPU is the plan for far future.

 

Thank you
