[Lewthy]

Hi All,

Below is the specs of my current PC bought 4 years ago from OC.

Phanteks Eclipse P400 Air Midi Tower DRGB Case – Black
Corsair RMx Series RMx750 750W '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power Supply (CP-9020179-UK)
AMD Ryzen 7 3700X Eight Core 4.4GHz (Socket AM4) Processor
KFA2 GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER EX 1CLICK-OC 8192MB GDDR6 Graphics Card
Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500GB M.2 2280 PCI-e 3.0 x4 NVMe Solid State Drive
Seagate BarraCuda 1TB 7200RPM SATA 64MB Cache Hard Drive
Asus TUF Gaming X570-Plus WiFi (AMD AM4) DDR4 X570 Chipset ATX Motherboard
Team Group Night Hawk RGB 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C16 3200MHz Dual Channel Kit - RGB Black (TF1D)
EK Water Blocks EK-Cable Splitter 4-Fan PWM Extended
COOLER MASTER MASTERLIQUID ML240L RGB AIO CPU COOLER - 240MM

Looking at upgrading it and thinking of the below items.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D
GFX: Nvidia RTX 4070

With these in mind do you think i need to up upgrade RAM, get a new cooler or anything else from the original specs? If your suggestions would be appreciated.
Use this PC for gaming only really.

Thanks in advance.

Just make sure the bios is the latest as the 5700x3d is a very recent chip.
You may also need a 12 pin High power adapter for your psu if one isnt suplied with the 4070 (if it uses one).

Ram and cooler will be fine.
Otherwise just enjoy.

the 4070 and 4070 Super cost the same but the super is about 20% faster

i had a 5700x3D for a short time and its a very cool running chip the 240mm AIO can cool it no problem, is it still cooling the cpu you have as good as ever?
as fair as ram 3600mhz is better but... not that much and the X3D cpu's are not that memory speed dependent. also there is a good chance with a small voltage bump that you ram will do 3400 or 3600

Will make sure the bios is updated before i start to change the components, noted the difference in power connectors will check this out in the case when i get a chance.
Think i'll go for the 4070 Super as it isn't that much more expensive and performance upgrade looks decent enough. (Had this typed before your message Wing-Man so just confirms my thoughts thanks)

Performance increase looks minimal on the 5800x3d so will stick to the 5700x3d.

Not had a problem with heating at all since i've had the computer to be honest so sure its in good condition still.

Thanks

Please tell me you haven't got your games installed on your Seagate mechanical hard drive ?

the 5800x3d is about 4% faster... its not worth the cost.

if the cooler works keep it.

Can't check as waiting for my house items to be shipped to the country i just relocated too but i believe all my games are on the Samsung drive.

If i remember right, start up is on that drive + games, everything else on Seagate.

Fair enough .

If not get yourself a pcie4 m2 drive for your games drive , you have enough slots on your motherboard.

Cheers willl do, but the 500GB should be enough as i usually only play one game at a time then uninstall when finished and get new one
