Need some Guidance

[WolfEsTee]

Budget (including currency): not sure yet

Country: USA

 

so I have a computer I got from IBuyPower a couple years ago and it came with a ryzen 3 3300x which I haven’t upgraded; a basic cooler a gtx 1650, on a Tuf Gaming B550+ (no WiFi) 

 

I upgraded my cooler to a IDCooling AIO Cooler and upgraded my GPU to a RTX 3060Ti, I’m looking at a bottleneck I’m sure with the CPU I currently have but I’m considering getting a Ryzen 7 5700x3d is that something that you guys would recommend ? That’s top of the line right? I’m just trying to get the most out of my computer with the current GPU its a little slow when running too many things at once and frame rate in games like valorant skip with more than 2 things open at once. Let me know what you guys thing my budget obviously is at least $300 if it needs to be that.

That's the right upgrade ^^ Also you want 32GB of RAM. DDR4-3200 CL16 or DDR4-3600 CL18.

Regular 5700 will be more than enough for your GPU.

If we're chasing cost compression, used 5600 is already enough to saturate it. And with us already having a cooler we can get away with adding the 5600X on search query and use the more flexible PPT adjustment to basically hit as close as the silicon limit.

 

But yeah the more wise option would just run stock 5700 or 5700X3D. But Valorant is not really cache intensive, the 5700 is gonna be enough.

Cache or not, 3060ti can draw only that many frames. If it is not a working rig, that 150-200$ would be better spent on extra storage.
