5800x on b550 to 13600k on b760, anyone made the move?

[beasty6]

Hey guys.

Currently have a PC with the following spec
5800x
B550 strix
2x8gb 4400mhz
Rtx3080
Game at 1440p with a 270hz monitor
Also record/stream also

I was going to get a 4080 but not happy paying those prices so looking at my CPU/platform instead

I5 13600k with a b760 tomahawk, looking around the £500 mark before selling my 5800x and b550 on

Thoughts?

I wouldn't have thought it would make a dramatic difference to go through that much hassle. It's same gen cpu effectively and end of line on that platform to which for a new build doesn't make sense especially if the old one is of comparable performance - ie no generational leap. Ah that upgrade itch...

5800x3d? your proposed built is an upgrade but nothing astounding.

 

[Tetras]

It might not be a great price, but a 4080 is a better upgrade for a gamer than a 13600K.

 

[beasty6]

No standard 5800x

I was thinking to skip this GPU series and possibly go for next price dependent

 

[Doggie2k]

I also have a 5800x and will more then likely go the 5800x3d and skip the next gen. It just costs too much right now especially if you go down the ddr5 route. I only use my pc's for gaming though.

 

[beasty6]

I'm still on DDR4 and don't intend on changing any time soon, still way to expensive for me to consider ddr5 at the moment

I got my 13600k £339 last year & installed in B760 for £218 1 week ago, Remember the 13500 only £247 not far off the 13600k

Got top audio chip ALC 4080 & the new latch system for M.2s & also a push rail for the PCIE slot eject GPU

Still running ryzen 5700x & 5700g on my other PCs

Not worth the money. It'll be a small gain, and for a similar level of improvement even just upgrading to the 5800X3D is cheaper, but still not worth it. Your CPU is good for at least another couple of generations.

Save that money and wait for a better priced GPU instead. At 1440p it'll be more GPU dependant than CPU. Saying that the 3080 is no slouch, sure it may not reach 270fps with the latest games but it's still a strong performer.

 

[beasty6]

Nice one, cheers all.

I definitely do have a upgrade itch, I'm not sure what else I could do

Storage maybe? Got a 1tb sn550 as my boot/main game drive
Qvo 1tb as a game/app drive

Maybe upgrade my sn550 to a 2tb gen4 or something?

I am running on my B760

Ooo I like that.

Forgive me but I don't really understand what makes a storage drive good or not.
I don't have this software, could I extract more performance from my sn550 from using it? Or is it a case of buying a sn850 like yours?

Can I run two m.2 drives at full speed on b550 strix-F?

the motherboard you have is nice,
I would keep it & just stay with the CPU you have or update the bios if you not already done so to support the 5800x3d
& purchase that, very nice gaming CPU
