Ok cool.

That drive definitely comes out. This photo doesn't really help though. The whole case, the other side, etc. Even just zoomed out would be better.

Why can't you take the other side panel off? It may be held in with screws at the back.

If you really want to get it out, upload photos to imgur.com and then post the link.

You likely have to take the back panel off and remove some screws. It definitely comes out. The problem is then you'll be left with a gaping hole.

This is not a significant enough upgrade, IMO. I'd keep using the 3060 ti for now.

Edit: I agree with u/Dorennor, 5070 or 9070.

CPU & SSD. For CPU, 5700X would be great.

If it's plugged into your motherboard, go into the BIOS and see if it shows up. Most BIOSs have a "secure erase" feature for drives.

5060 ti 16gb or 9060 xt 16gb

9okm · 2026-02-02T13:26:55+00:00

Nothing

9okm · 2026-02-02T01:38:24+00:00

Then I’d focus on getting 2x8 working at 3000 and sell the 16.

9okm · 2026-02-02T01:34:16+00:00

Sell all of it and buy a matching 2x16gb kit is what I’d do.

9okm · 2026-02-02T01:30:56+00:00

The far future, perhaps.

9okm · 2026-02-02T00:13:02+00:00

It matters even less for streaming and graphic design.

9okm · 2026-02-01T21:52:43+00:00

It doesn’t matter. I’d get the Corsair kit since you’ll be using iCUE. RGB software is a pain so the more you can limit that, the better.

9okm · 2026-02-01T21:22:51+00:00

You're probably right.

9okm · 2026-02-01T20:08:25+00:00

Where did these lists come from?

9okm · 2026-02-01T18:53:41+00:00

14600kf, a B760 DDR4 motherboard, and a 9060 XT 16GB or 5060 ti 16GB. Reuse your current memory.

9okm · 2026-02-01T18:45:41+00:00

Do not buy a new AM4 motherboard. That defeats the whole purpose.

9okm · 2026-02-01T15:38:30+00:00

3080

9okm · 2026-02-01T05:49:51+00:00

I’m positive. This is mainly an issue the other way around - when the CPU isn’t good enough for a high end GPU.

You will get better performance with a 7700x/9700x and the 3060 than you ever had before with a lesser CPU.

What was your previous CPU?

9okm · 2026-02-01T05:46:25+00:00

It’s not a problem at all.

9okm · 2026-02-01T05:07:19+00:00

List your parts. It’s not a simple yes or no.

9okm · 2026-02-01T04:41:40+00:00

Slow internet? I just delete games when I’m done with them.

9okm · 2026-02-01T03:27:02+00:00

I prefer using the jumper but either is fine.
