I’ve recently upgraded my little sisters pc so I have her old 3100 Ryzen cpu and a 970 gpu. My mrs was using a 3200g in her pc and just using the onboard graphics. She’s a teacher and literally just does lesson planning / slideshows etc on her pc. She doesn’t game on it. She’s wanting dual...

Little update… updated her bios / installed the new psu / 5600x / 7700xt Turns out she’s running her games from an external mechanical hard drive and playing On a 4k 50 inch tv at home. Will be installing all her games in a 1tb nvme and she’s now playing on a 1080p monitor. Merry Xmas everyone...

So I’ve purchased the 7700xt and 5600x. Will I need a new psu with that? Or will the 500w be okay? I feel I will probably need a new one

If I didn’t go with a psu. I could get her a 4060ti for around 370. Is that a rip off? It says that the game runs better on nvidia even though it’s amd sponsored. Is there a way to see if it would work with the current psu (500w gold rated) without putting the pc all together ?

So I’m thinking 5600x (currently bidding on one) 4060 or 6700xt 750w gold psu. Should be able to do all that for under £600. Would you guys recommend anything else or would that suffice ?

Yeah installed on the nvme

Morning, just read over your post, thanks a lot for taking your time to try help. I think I’ll go cpu/ gpu upgrade and maybe psu if you guys think it’s necessary. I just want to get it right because she’s dying to play her game but it’s too laggy atm. Proper feel like I’ve let her down since I...

sorry i missed the nvme, think its 500gb corsair nvme 1080p not sure on which one the game is installed on, will message her and wait for her reply.

Her current build: 970 gpu sea gate 2tb hdd Amd ryzen 3 310O quad core 3.9ghz 3200mhz 16gb ram ddr4 Msi b450 toMohawk max socket am4 ddr4 atx Be quiet 500w psu gold power supply 80+

Thanks for the recommendation. She’s already got the game I naively said wait to see if she could run it on low but it just keeps lagging in most scenes / crashing.

Sorry just got a minute at work to have a look at all the replies. I’ve managed to find specs minus the gpu. How I post screenshots?

sorry our budget is top end £600

its that time where my little sister has graduated from her roblox only gaming and shes trying to play a new game called avatar frontier of pandora. her current specs are : AM3 3 3100 16GB RAM NVIDIA 970 750 watt power supply any recommendations? thanks for any help.

Thanks for the reply/ info. What’s been putting me off probably for the last 12/18 months is gpu prices. Do you happen to know how the market is looking now adays things are going back to normal abit? Should I wait abit longer or are they low atm?

Thanks for the alternate build. I’m way out the loop. The last pc I built was for a friend and he has a 2700x. Is there much difference between amd/intel anymore? I’m really looking for bang for buck. I don’t need insane timings or frames etc. i just can’t afford much more than £1600...

Thanks so much for sorting that. I couldn’t fro the life of me figure it out. I clicked bb code and pasted but it just posted a load of code so wasn’t sure. Do I need to put anything I front of the code etc? Also any critic of the above mentioned build or is it okay to go? Thanks

just to note. I don’t upgrade very often as you can probably tell by my current set up so I really wanna try future proof for as long as possible as long as it’s not crazy out of my budget so let’s say it’s £50 over budget but gives a lot more future proofing then I’d love to hear any help...

currently rocking my trusty 970/ 4790k i7 build but i feel its time to upgrade. budget is £1600 max. i have monitors / peripherals so budget is just for the tower. ive made a basket but not sure how to post it in the thread. any help is muchly appreciated :) Corsair TX850M 850W 80 Plus...
