Hi all. It's been a while!! I want to upgrade my PC for 1440p gaming and beyond. Mainly play fps games including the HORRIBLY optimised Escape from Tarkov. I currently have my old faithful 1080 GPU with 32g old RAM and a Ryzen 7 2700X.

I have a HP 27xq as a main monitor which I am happy to keep short term along with ancillaries but i suspect everything else needs changing. Budget as close to £1000 as possible but I quite like the relative value of the 7800XT GPU coupled with maybe a 7800X3D?

Am I way off?

Thanks.

James
 
I'd like to do it in one go and then forget about it for 5 years like I did last time :D

I have some small SSD and windows but it was a 2nd hand set up so no windows key. I think best to assume I need a complete system. Could stretch to £1,500 if that's where the sensible money is. Is the CPU/GPU pairing logical?
 
I think my RAM is 4x8g Corsair CMK16GX4M2D3000C16W Vengeance LPX DDR4 3000 MHz. Can I do anything with that to speed it up given that windows reading?

Looking at compatibility with my mobo and CPU it should be capable at running 3200hz?

Thanks all. I will take a look at my PSU and report back. If I get the 5800X3D and say a 7800XT I can always take those onto a new build in the future so nothing wasted. Same for a new PSU if I need one I guess.

My PSU is a evga 600w 100-w1-0600

I went into BIOS and enabled XMP with a preset profile that upped the voltage to 1.35v. Weirdly hwinfo64 is reporting a speed of 1500 now?
