Can anyone help decide what to upgrade?
Can anyone help decide what to upgrade?
My current pc specs are:
- Asus Prime H310M-K r2.0 (pcie 3.0 x16 max)
- I5-9400f
- Deep cool i35 cooler
- AMD Radeon Rx 580
- Kingston ddr4 1x16gb
- Corsair TX650
- Gigabyte G27Q monitor
- And two ssd's and a HDD
I have two options I have a budget of about 400 euros and I am thinking of upgrading as the PC is getting a little unresponsive in general use and gaming. Leaning towards option 1 as the cpu is almost always above 50% usage at idle as I use my PC as a server for jellyfin and some other services ,but with them off in-game the cpu is almost at 100% in tf2 and pretty much any other game and the gpu is at 70% unless in cs2 ,then if the quality is set any higher than low it is a literal slideshow.
Option 1:
- MSI Pro b650-s wifi
- AMD Ryzen 7600
- Crucial/Kingston ddr5 2x8gb
Option 2:
- Nvidia rtx 3060/3070 with broken HDMI output (both used)
Requirements:
- Motherboard Atx
- Cpu am5
- Must be available in Lithuania/EU for used parts only skelbiu.lt or eneba.lt
You're viewing a single thread.
Seems reasonably decent gear. You didn't mention, but first try the free stuff? It might be a case that you need to update BIOS and other firmware and software (radeon boost)?
After update to latest bios, you could also try a 2nd DDR4 to run dual channel and see if that helps. Hopefully your existing stick is max clock speed for the processor.
Otherwise, yep probably option 1!
Bios updated multiple times no improvement and I forgot to mention the motherboard is kinda busted sometimes usb 2.0 devices don't work ,sometimes when I try to rearrange boot order it crashes
