Gaming PC upgrade

[Colapops]

Hi guys. Had to make a new account as i had to ditch my old email that the account was signed upto.

Right i last upgraded just before covid. Im running a

Ryzen 7 3700X
MSI B450 AM4 board
Nvidia 2070S
Corsair 650w
16GB Ram

Got a healthy budget of around £1500 but can go higher. I dont need a monitor. Ill be gaming at 1440P.

Im thinking the new AMD 9070XT with a Ryzen CPU. Iam a bit unsure which CPU, the 9800X3d is only 50quid more than the 7000 one so that seems a no brainer........unless im missing something. Not sure on PSU, HD, memory or mobo id need. This PC will be built to last. Will probably need a case as well if i try and sell my old system as one.

Thanks for reading...

9800x3d is definitely worth the extra £50. DDR5 6000 c30 is still the sweets pot - Corsair Vengeance EXPO is very compatible.

Go with a gen 4 m.2. WD SN850 is a good shout, but anything with a dram cache should be fine.

Mobo, b650 or b850 depending on the features you need.

Nice basket, i’d be tempted to ditch the case and spend a bit more on a mobo with nice VRMs (assuming the gigabyte one is serviceable). Seems a shame to have such a capable CPU in that kind of board, although i do agree B series makes the most sense!

Thanks for the replies. Its going to have to be on hold till the 9070XT comes back to the price it should be.

Is a 750w enough? was going to go for 850w....

If you have the money, I'd go 850.
