Other details 

Looking to upgrade my 5 year old prebuilt from Scan due to being cpu bottle necked in battlefield 6. Been bit out the loop with latest and greatest specs. Understand AMD are going great and great bang for your buck. 

 

Looking to upgrade the motherboard and cpu to AMD AM5, assuming I would need to upgrade my ram also to ddr5? 

Gpu I'm open to options but is it best to pair with AMD? 

 

Current pc spec is:

Intel 11600K + RTX3070 + B560 TUF WIFI + CORSAIR 4000D Airflow case. 

Power Supply Corsair TX650M – 80PLUS GOLD

I upgraded to 32gb 4000mhz ram and arctic liquid freezer 2 240 cpu cooler. 

Monitor is dell 1440p 144hz.

 

 

Thanks in advance!

RAM prices are ABSURD now and it seems like you've got pretty great DDR4 ram so definitely stick with that RAM and stay on an intel platform 

What resolution are you playing at? If 1440p I'd do this (PSU upgrade isn't necessary, just to be safe, you can sell all your used parts for around £320, not including cooler since I don't know what it is)

Hi, thanks for your reply. 

 

So stick with Intel then? AMD not any better or cheaper?

Intel offers DDR4, AMD doesn't unless you go with a old school AM4 build.

Hi thanks for the advice, yer I game at 1440p at moment on low to medium settings. So the 13600k won't bottle neck me on bf6?
