Upgrade Advise

[Lonely_Planet]

Hi, So I was originally looking for a new build but have decided to upgrade parts as I cam across a cheap 2070 super.

I am going to need a new motherboard and cpu as they are far too outdated now and being more of a bottleneck, I was thinking a ryzen 5 3600 4.2ghz as it seems good enough for me but I have no idea what Motherboard to switch out too so any help would be appreciated.

What were you looking to spend?

This could be an option;
My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk (AMD AM4) B550 ATX Motherboard= £179.99
• 1 x AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Six Core 4.6GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail= £299.99
• 1 x Arctic Freezer 34 eSports Duo White CPU Cooler - 2 x 120mm= £34.99
• 1 x Team Group Vulcan Z T-Force 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C16 3200MHz Dual Channel Kit - Grey= £89.99

Total: £615.46 (includes shipping: £10.50)
​

Alternatively swap the 5600x for the 3600 and the b550 tomahawk for the b450 tomahawk. That 32gb kit is on offer and a really good price so for the £10-15 difference between a 16gb kit I would go for that. Added a good CPU cooler also but one does come in the box for the 3600 if you wanted to knock some more money off.

awesome, I have personally gone for the slightly cheaper alternative MB and CPU just due to the times.

Looks good though, wonder if it's worth waiting on black friday to see if anything comes out cheaper

I have this case, I assume that MB would fit still

As long as its a ATX sized case you should be fine

Just realized i never copied the link -_-

But looking at it, it does appear to be ATX thanks
