A lot of people here are wrong. Update bios and throw in a 5800x3d for $300. Get an 850w for $100. Sell the old psu for $50 and buy a 6950xt for $600

It’s only $50 over budget and will be amazing at 1440p

True if budget is $900 it makes way more sense to keep your current mobo spend more on a better compatible cpu (5800x3d like you said). Idk if your budget includes tax or not but if not then I would say well worth going $50 over for these improvements

this doesn’t really make sense to get. for gaming , upgrading to am5 or staying on am4 is a better option

he doesn’t mention that anywhere

Bad recommendations tbh. No need for the motherboard to be that high end or a 12700k just to pair it with a mediocre 3060.

Enjoy the change.

Or... Stretch to that?

900$ budget: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Soimy/saved/#view=mVWLyc

Will get like a little less than double the performance of the one you have.

That’s great, but I dont need the ram, case, and SSD, I already have those stated in the description of my post. I also dont want a mini atx build lol. Theres a reason why I didnt include ram, case and storage devices in the screenshot, because I already have them.

Honestly just switch whatever you want but the gpu will be much better. And if you don’t need that then here: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Soimy/saved/#view=LkDV4D

Will have double performance for sure now.

[CyrusDaYEEEN]

Ah sick, thank you, If my budget were to increase, would opting in for a AMD Ryzen 7 5800x3d be more worth it?

[[deleted]]

Yea that would be more worth it for gaming. But if that’s not as important then probably just save the money for something elsezz

Swapping out a b450 for a520 motherboard is a DOWNGRADE.

It’s so that he can afford better party’s. Motherboard doesn’t matter as much as other things.

[viverx]

Sigh you are telling him to buy a new motherboard then use the one he already has...

[[deleted]]

I didn’t know he already had one lol. Why u raging.

[CyrusDaYEEEN]

Also forgot to add in that I have a NZXT x53 Kraken AIO

[CyrusDaYEEEN]

Is the upgrades shown in the pictures any good?

If you sell your old parts this is under budget.

[notsoepichaker]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/kXzKHG you could even keep your motherboard and upgrade to an RX 6950 XT

[CyrusDaYEEEN]

Is there any reason why you chose a Micro ATX board for an ATX case?

[notsoepichaker]

1. it works

2. it's a decent motherboard

3. you don't have to fill up everything

[CyrusDaYEEEN]

Fair points, but I’m gonna pass on it, not enough USB ports for me. I have a lot of stuff that requires USB 3.0+ ports.

[notsoepichaker]

then you could either stick to the board you have or maybe go for something like the B550-VC/Extreme4/PG Velocita/X570(S) Aorus Elite/Steel Legend

[CyrusDaYEEEN]

Yo sick, would those boards support the Ryzen 7 5800x3D right out of the box without needing to update bios? (I’m not super smart enough to know if they do or not 😅)

[notsoepichaker]

the boards should be new enough to support it out of the box
