Hey everyone,
This is my current build:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X
CPU COOLER: DARK ROCK 4
MBO: ROG STRIX B450-PLUS GAMING
GPU: ZOTAC GeForce® GTX 1070 AMP Edition 8GB GDDR5
RAM: HyperX 16GB Predator DDR4 3200MHz CL16 KIT HX432C16PB3K2/16 *planning to upgrade to 32G but might not right away, PSU is priority
PSU: 650W VS Series™ VS650 — 650 Watt 80 PLUS® White Certified PSU *planning to upgrade to a more quality one as advised on this site
I'm in the process of planning an upgrade for my gaming rig and could use some advice. I'm considering upgrading to a Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4070 WindForce 2X OC 12G, 12GB GDDR6X and pairing it with a CPU AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D 100-100000651WOF. I'm wondering if this combination would be a good choice for a new build in terms of performance and compatibility.
One thing to note is that I currently have an ASUS B450F Gaming motherboard and unfortunately, I can't afford to change it right now. I've read on various forums that the RTX 4070 might experience around a 5% performance decrease due to the PCIe Gen3 slot on my motherboard. However, I'm okay with this compromise if it still offers a significant performance boost compared to my current setup.
Additionally, I'm also looking for recommendations for a suitable PSU upgrade within a budget of around 100€ or less. I want something reliable that can efficiently power my new GPU and CPU configuration without breaking the bank.
I do only 1080p gaming on a 144hz screen, with some Photoshop and graphics editing.
Any insights or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
