Or just flip phone to landscape?
The RAM is actually 2133 and I’m already overclocking it to 2400. It won’t go no higher I’ve tried.

You’re gonna need a 3080/4080 and a new CPU, something like a 5800X.
4K gaming I presume?
What’s the difference between a 5700x and a 5800x. The latter seems to cost more, is it worth it?
It may need replacing as well then with a 2x 16gb 3200-3600mhz kit.
Nothing really especially with some overclocking, the 5800X is 105w vs the cooler running 5700X at 65w.
Yeah it’s served me well over the last four years may consider an upgrade.

Ok man, enjoy.
I’d have gone for RAM that runs at 3600 but it’ll still be a massive improvement over your current rig.
Thanks man, I’ll need to update the BIOS first just in case the current version doesn’t support the Ryzen 7 5700x.
