Pc Upgrade Advice based on Current Setup please?

truewraith · 26 Feb 2021 at 09:53

this is what i have at the moment and its been many years since i needed to upgrade as i was too busy upgrading partners pc and my kids pcs

Ryzen Build i would prefer and if i dont need to upgrade GPU & PSU that would be good.

i5 4690k ,
Motherboard Z97P-D3
16gb DDr3 ,
EVGA 600 W1, 80+ WHITE 600W, Power Supply
PowerColor Radeon RX 580 Red Dragon V2 8192MB GDDR5
Win7 64bit,
SyncMaster SA700 3D x2.
ADATA Ultimate SU630 240GB SSd
keyboard & mouse
-

Not sure which to go for Ryzen build or intel, but hoping to keep with my windows 7 so hopefully that will still work out ok! i mostly play games and some lite video editing.

i have a budget of £600
thanks for any advice.

im buying some upgrade items for a friend on OCUK so figured it would be good time to advantage of the delivery fee

and buy together

Windows 7 support has ended you can still get motherboard drivers for it but there probablly wont be anymore updates.

3600 or 5600x big diffrence in cost for 25% on average performance increase at 1080p. 3700x if you need more cores .

16gb or 32gb of ram ?

Intel release 11th gen in march that will support pcie4 mite be worth waiting.

i have 16gb ram which it thought was a ton but i still find some things very slow, so guess 32gb would be great. and i didnt know about new releases so i could wait but wont that all be more expensive then?

but im looking now for something good so i dont have to upgrade for some years

. and yeah sorry to sound out of date i just always luv windows 7 and dislike a lot of things on 10. shame they dont have a classic route which some Old OS had back in the day.

I would swerve 3600 with your budget. 'Seen' i7 10700KF at £280 - Z490 Aorus £180 - 16GB DDR4 3600 Viper £75. Keep your psu.

You don't list your storage, are your games on an SSD as that makes a lot of difference with load times? The 3600 is a bottleneck in some games already at 1080p and high end GPU, so it may not be as future proof as the intel 11th gen series is which is supposed to launch very end of March

ADATA Ultimate SU630 240GB SSd
my games are on a few 2tb WD Blues

please can someone give a build based on the ryzen 3600 from OCUK, but im keeping with my windows 7 as long as theres no issues or would there be less issues if i went the intel route?

Gaming and Video Editing is what i do mostly
