My friend, whom was feeling very down after the passing of his father, and after coming into a lot of money decided he wanted to upgrade his computer so he can play games for quite some time. So I decided to do a bit of digging and came up with this setup:
- AMD Ryzen 3700X
- MSI MDG X570 Gaming Pro Motherboard
- 16GB Gskill Ripjaws 3200 Mem
- XFX RX 5700 XT
- Rest of the parts were from existing system
Here is the exact parts listing: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/p3kyp8
I chose the XFX cause it was the cheapest. On the list it shows $529.99 but I got it for $519.99 with an additional 5% off due to it being a return (I asked what was wrong and the customer traded it for a 2700 Super. Card was fully tested prior to being resold). Plus the case he initially got it for about $90 and the other parts were also on sale initially.
Anyway, after installing a fresh install of windows 10 and testing it out on games at 1440p, I have to say I am just very impressed. The system was flawless and just ran so well. It put my 4770 and gtx 1070 to shame. Now I am looking at it myself (Ryzen 3700x) but need an mitx mobo and to be honest, waiting on the x550 chipset motherboards cause these 570's are way overpriced.
But wow, have to say, it really is quite the jump. He went from a Intel core i5 3570K and a RX 580 8gb. What a jump.
