Hi there, a while back I asked for upgrade/new build advice. As the B550M mobos are out now I put together a projected upgrade and would like feedback as to if you guys reckon its a good build or not.
Main use is gaming, CoD, CSGO, Rocket League, Among Us. Basically a wide range! I can play all these games fine as of now, even managed to run the new CoD beta above 70fps ironically even though my CPU does not meet minimum requirements. I would like a move into the newer faster hardware essentially with a nice performance boost. Current PC specs: CPU - i5 4460 3.2ghz CPU COOLER - Cryorig M9A MOBO - MSI H97M G43 GPU - Radeon Powercolour Red Devil RX580 8GB RAM - 4x4GB HyperX Fury 1600MHZ PSU - TSXFX ProSeries 450 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX STORAGE - 1x 120GB TCSunbow SSD 1x Samsung 596GB HD642JJ (Super old came out of my first ever desktop still going yet!) OS - Windows 10 Pro CASE - iONZ KZ02 Mid tower (Ebay special to upgrade from my tiny Fractal Mini tower case actually really decent for the price came with 3 rgb fans can't complain!) Monitor - BENQ Zowie 144hz 24' XL2411P Proposed new parts - New parts Combined pc build - Overall build CPU upgrade is the main goal here and from what I have compared and researched seems the most bang for buck upgrade CPU wise in terms of performance but this would also give me a decent platform to upgrade in the future. I added the case I would eventually want in the overall build, I would also down the line like to get a modular or semi modular PSU for cable management reasons along with a better CPU cooler (Am I right in saying the ryzen CPUs come with a decent stock cooler?) but the stock one will do for now. Then afterwards a 1TB SSD would be a big boost to replace my dated HDD, could easy just leave it in there anyway have plenty of sata cables. But yeah any advice would be good. Cheers. EDIT: Oh and forgot to say for the 3 parts needed for the upgrade kind of in the 300-350GBP region is what I had in mind! |

PCPartPicker Part List
CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 3300X 3.8 GHz Quad-Core Processor (£114.11 @ Amazon UK) Motherboard: Asus PRIME B550-PLUS ATX AM4 Motherboard (£137.96 @ More Computers) Memory: Team T-FORCE DARK Za 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 CL18 Memory (£103.58 @ Amazon UK) Total: £355.65 Alternatively, you could grab a nice B450 motherboard and 16GB RAM which would let you up the R3 3300X to an R5 3600; PCPartPicker Part List CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor (£179.00 @ Amazon UK) Motherboard: MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX ATX AM4 Motherboard (£96.98 @ Aria PC) Memory: Crucial Ballistix 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 CL16 Memory (£68.39 @ Amazon UK) Total: £344.37 If you want a cheaper kit of 16GB RAM, I would not buy that Corsair Vengeance kit. This is what I'd get instead; uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/z3VD4...0hc16cdc01 A little cheaper, and 3200MHz @ CL16 will be better than 3600MHz @ CL20. |

21 wrote PCPartPicker Part List I noticed you recommended ATX Mobos, is there any benefit to having ATX over mATX? I kind of planned on just running with mATX as they are cheaper and have plenty slots for what I need, plus ease of cable management. Is there anything particularly wrong with the one I picked? |

ryanc9598 wrote I noticed you recommended ATX Mobos, is there any benefit to having ATX over mATX? I mean, not really. The form factor itself isn't necessarily a benefit or a downside, but if you can afford a decent ATX motherboard, then you might as well get one since you have an ATX case. ryanc9598 wrote I kind of planned on just running with mATX as they are cheaper and have plenty slots for what I need, plus ease of cable management. The mATX mobo in your parts list is more expensive than both of the ATX mobo's I suggested. ryanc9598 wrote Is there anything particularly wrong with the one I picked? No, it's a fine motherboard. The Asus Prime B550-Plus is just a better motherboard for the same price. Asus also have a better BIOS than MSI IMO. I haven't compared the B450 Tomahawk vs the B550M Mortar specifically. I imagine they're pretty similar in terms of quality/performance though, so I'd just save the 40 quid and grab the B450 Tomhawk in that case. |
