My current PC has done well to last me this long but its now time to upgrade.
I currently have:
2500k CPU
16GB RAM
Nvidia GTX 970
500GB SSD + 1TB SSD.
CX 600M PSU
2x 1080p monitors
I'm keeping my current SSD's, 500GB for OS and 1TB for games along with the 2x 1080 monitors.
Also keeping the 970 for now as i only game in 1080 and im unsure what GPU to get atm, so gonna wait a while to see if something jumps out at me. Looking for bang for the buck and pretty quiet.
Dont really have a budget, but I generally look for best bang for the buck upgrades, pretty quiet and i get a good few years out of my upgrades. I got my 2500k cpu shortly after release and the GPU when Witcher 3 was released so got a good amount of time out of them
.
I mainly play games and watch twitch and netflix etc. Play games like the Total war series, Xcom2, WoW, Witcher 3, Battletech, Stellaris.
I have no use for RGB etc, my case is on a shelf on the floor.
For my new case im going for the NZXT H500 https://www.overclockers.co.uk/nzxt-h500-midi-tower-gaming-case-black-window-ca-191-nx.html Really like the look of it.
CPU wise im going for a Ryzen, probably a 3600. What is the stock cooler like? I dont overclock, so im really just looking to keep cool and quiet.
I am looking at getting an x570 mobo for ease of use (I thought about the 450/470 board but the problems atm just put me off) and future proofing, but am unsure which i should get. Thoughts?
What speed memory should i be looking at? looking for 16GB, i dont think 32GB is needed for gaming?
PSU. Is my current PSU ok? OR would i need a new PSU if i get a new GPU sometime?
I think thats all i need. Keeping keyboard, mouse etc
Thanks for any help.
