5800x motherboard/ram ideas ?

[bigtrak]

Hey guys.
was browsing last night and ended up buying a new gpu 3060ti Fe
this is to replace my 2060 fe (non super)

so now after sleeping on it
I’ve now decided to replace my mb along with a new 5800x cpu also will need some ram Which I’m a bit unsure untill I decide on the Mb.
What are peoples thoughts or are there any other good options about ?

thanks mate,
ryzen 5 3600, 16gb ram.

I’ve got about 600 give or take to cover for a mb ram and cpu,
forgot to add

Ran can get Corsair away at mo(seems to be cheaper than here)
1)32 gb 2x16 lpx 3600c18 £101.99 on offer
2) same size, Vengeance rgb pro sl 3600C18 £112..non sl £117
3)Vengeance rgb rt gunmetal 3600C16 for £129.98

Board, again, same place as above, they have the Asus gaming B550 plus II wifi on offer for £149.99 (ocuk is £178 or thereabouts)

so £280 with most expensive ram
5800x £260 so £540
could go 5600X for £169 I think and get a nvme

sorry, zoom call, had to stop looking

Thanks mate, had the 5600x in mind before as I upgraded my sons to the same this crimbo just gone.
he also bought a nvidia gigabyte aorus rtx 3070ti for his birthday and I can’t fault it.

now after doing a bit more looking about this evening I’m still non the wiser..

looks like 5800x vs 5600x/3600 there is not a lot of difference for the price to pound scale?
I always thought the 3600/5600x was pretty similar when searching to upgrade his before

ive got a few ssds and also m.2 from my current build, and a newish synology nas trying to get off data hoarding

Thanks again mate for taking the time
now I’m thinking do I drop a bit more cash and go am5? but then I’m looking another 200ish for ram?

This is why I don’t come on here very often
all I was doing last night was searching for ideas for a 3rd monitor for my sons Xmas present!
and now I’ve bought a new gpu which has made me now gonna spend even more cash on a complete upgrade … also if I did go for say a 7600x will it be a overkill for the 3060ti?

Ha ha . Exactly what I had in my basket...then thought if paying that might as well go gen5 gpu/nvme...Asus b650e gaming f wifi...always something to temp you to spend that little bit more.
Sensible choice b550 though with new 3060ti..you'd get more frames putting the £300 towards a 6800xt/3080, or wait to see what AMD announce today...
@bigtrak how often do you upgrade your setup? Main benefit of going am5(as well as benefit of getting 5800x3d gaming cpu speed equivalent)

I was just gonna wait untill the new year todo any upgrade to be honest,
but Impulse bought the gpu the other night

think I’m almost certain I may aswell go am5 as that way I’m sort of covered for a while upgrade wise.
just would seem a shame buying a 5600x and another am4 mb untill my next upgrade as that’s my sons current build
which I made for him. So couldn’t even pass that onto him as it wouldn’t benefit him.
plus his talking about going for a intel build next…more money.

amd announcing their next gen gpu's in just over 20mins...lets hope they give indication of pricing

I was trying to find it just now on google, thought it was only for their graphic’s cards

I Went for the founders edition, as my 2060fe has never sagged at all hopefully this one doesn’t?
but just been looking at ideas how I want it too look build wise, and can’t believe
some bright spark at nivdiot has decided with placing the power lead smack bang in the middle front!
was hoping for a nice clean build aswell
