Hi, I’d like to upgrade my setup without replacing everything, but it’s a bit old, and I’m not sure if it’s possible.
My current components:
Any suggestions?
My thoughts/questions:
Edit :
My current components:
- GTX 980 Ti (power: 250W)
- Ryzen 7 2700X
- 16GB DDR4 RAM, 2800MHz
- X470 Gaming Plus (MS-7B79)
- EVGA Supernova 650 G2 (650W, 80+ Gold)
Any suggestions?
My thoughts/questions:
- For RTX cards 4070 or new 5070 (maybe overkill with my current config), I need to be cautious about power consumption, and maybe an adapter for connectivity (980 Ti: 1x 6-pin + 1x 8-pin), or do i have to change my power supply.
- Which GPU is the best for me ? 4070 require 200W i should be fine
- Maybe I need to change the CPU as well, but I’m not sure if my motherboard is obsolete (i update my bios). I think AMD kept the same AM4 chipset for a few years.
- Do i need a newer CPU ? like Ryzen Series 5000 (7000 and 9000 requerie new motherboard) but is it worth ?
- I dont want to have a bottleneck, if i buy new GPU and my current CPU cant follow.
- I can’t use DDR5 RAM, but I’m not sure if it’s really that important (bottleneck?).
Edit :
- I'm willing to spend 800€ for CPU/GPU combo, and if needed 200€ for anything else.
- I live in France
- I want to upgrade my PC within 2/3 months
- purpose : gaming
- F1 24 / Asseto corsa (evo) (fine with my current pc)
- Marvel rivals / Black ops 6
- some solo game (Assassin's creed, GTA, zelda (Emulation), etc)
