Hi all. I have here a PC with the following specs:
MSI A320M-A Pro Main board
Athlon 3000G CPU
Nvidia GTX1650 4GB
32GB Corsair 3200mhz RAM DDR4
350W PSU
I mostly want to play Escape from Tarkov which is CPU heavy and I'd like to put a 5800X3D in there, but I'm getting mixed reports about whether it is compatible with my board or not. Also, I don't know if 350W would be enough to run it, and would cooling be sufficient, my computer runs cool now but I hear the 5800X3D runs hot.
Basically I know this rig is hamstringed by the CPU, I'm looking at options. I'm going to want to upgrade the GPU at some point, but that's not a priority for me right now. Of course that will draw more power, so new PSU would definitely be needed, I do have an old PC with 750W PSU but this is a tangent.
So the question is, what is the best CPU I could put into this without overrunning on either power or heat.
