AMD Ryzen 5 3600

I got a 3600 on a msi b450 tomahawk using powercolor red devil 5700XT on my second pc. Plays 1440p @ 120Hz no problems whatsoever. I also got a sapphire nitro oc 6800XT which I will be selling in the members market place when I can work out what price to ask for it. :)

What FPS are you getting on that? Mine is getting max 100 but the gpu usage is at 100%
 
there is a website where you enter your cpu, resolution and card and it'll tell you if there are bottlenecks. god knows how accurate this is but i did the same for my 3600. At 4k the perfect match was a 6800xt, with on 0.3% of a bottleneck:

 
I would say 650w will not be enough, I had an old Corsair 850w in my PC when I upgraded to a 6800xt. While gaming sometimes the PC would crash, swapped my PSU and everything was OK.

Was the Corsair one of the old ones based on Seasonic designs?

Quite good fun to play around with and see, roughly, what might work best for you. It would seem my limit with a 3900X is around a 6800XT/RTX3080 at 2K, or a 6900XT/RTX3090 // 6950XT/RTX3090Ti if upping the resolution to ultrawide or 4K.

I have the same cpu and a 3080FE. I'm tempted to upgrade after watching this video but must resist..
