Ryzen 7 or 5 help

[lofthouse1982]

I currently have

Ryzen 2700x overclocked to 4.2

GeForce 1660 Super

B450 Steel Legend Edition motherboard

32Gb 3200 Ram

and running from Nvme drives 1TB x2



I was told that i would be better off getting a Ryzen 5 5800x and it would be a noticeable improvement over my current CPU



I mainly use computer for Sim Racing, Photoshop and 3d Software. More gaming i would say



Any help would be great



Thanks

Thanks, could you please send me a link to this processor please?

I will check cards

Does it matter if I get a 2 fan card or 3? https://www.overclockers.co.uk/asro...ddr6-pci-express-graphics-card-gx-00m-ak.html

Thank you, I have the 3 fan 1660 and perfect condition. Think I will treat myself and go for the cpu and gpu. Just clarify it’s the Ryzen 5 CPU 5700x?

Just ordered the Ryzen 7 5600x, managed £175 thanks

 

[lofthouse1982]

5700x sorry

Thanks, just looking at cards now. Would you recommend any other card that it’s a bit cheaper? But still an improvement on my current card? I prefer nvidia but others are okay if reasonably priced. Thanks

Processor will arrive today, is it just a case of swapping over the chip and putting my system in bios to default, then upgrade bios and overclock again?

 

[lofthouse1982]

Super thanks

 

[lofthouse1982]

its all up and running, all very good so far )) would £250 get me a good card for upgrading from 1660 Super?

Thanks

 

[lofthouse1982]

i see what you mean, only slight difference was the colour to me

 

[lofthouse1982]

or i could push to £300

 

[lofthouse1982]

Fantastic, I will go for the 3060 ))

 

[lofthouse1982]

Does it matter what size I purchase? 1 fan, 2 or 3?

 

[lofthouse1982]

best i can find, just over £300
