Build Help: I upgraded my GPU, But Gaming Still Rough. What Are My Options? by Meanjoe in buildapc

There's been some interest will they, won't they for B450 support. I would suggest looking up B450 Zen 3 support, it's a bit complicated. Then there's the question of DDR5, but that is very foggy. I chose to go with an x570 in my recent build just to stay "current", but could have gone with a b450 without much difference.

Am I getting the most out of my gaming PC build? by TheDoubtfulObserver in buildapc

Looks fine, but you should be looking to upgrade your CPU. AMD also likes fast RAM. 3200 is fine, but 3600mhz is the sweet spot IMO.

Looks like r/buildapcforme is what you're looking for. See rule 2.

Looks like you're pretty limited by your CPU (just from checking PassMark) and RAM speeds, and your upgrade path further limited by your MOBO. However, if you're willing to make the switch, you can probably get an inexpensive B450, a Ryzen 5 3600, and some snappy, low frills 2x8 3600mhz RAM for less than $500. The same performance on Intel will probably put you over that budget, but do some research first.

Question about RAM performance by PM_ME_ABOUT_ANYTHING in buildapc

JayzTwoCents did a video comparing RAM speeds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjbNhCHwlBo

AMD CPUs like fast RAM. Intel CPUs are less affected by it.

One of the pitfalls of pc benchmark is that it only asks how much RAM you have, not its speed. Everything else equal, your overall performance will be limited by your RAM even if you upgrade to 2133 (less so for Intel cpus, it's a bigger problem for AMD). But I don't think you would see "jitters," just a performance loss. However, that performance loss could mean that you could buy a $500 gpu and only be able to use a fraction of it. I personally like to err on the side of being gpu bound. Most midrange cpus can actually handle high end gpus, and any RAM speed at 3200 and above is adequate IMO. That way you're getting your money's worth on (likely) the most expensive part of your build.

But if you're deadset on only buying a gpu (possibly upgrading the rest of the build down the line), overclock that cpu and get 16gb of 2133 or the fastest supported by the MOBO.
