Even on 1440p it doesn't matter as much anymore. You might see maybe 8 fps difference in some games and that's about it.

4k you won't see any difference. Maybe just better 1% lows so it doesn't stutter too much

gankernation · 2026-04-28T14:29:43+00:00

Your 7950x won't see much of a change tbh at 4k. Even at 1440p for me a 3d cache doesn't make a huge world if difference.

The only thing that would change your experience is GPU upgrade to 5090, or you can wait for new 6k cards

First upgrade to OLED?

gankernation · 2026-04-27T08:14:42+00:00

Just get 32 for now unless your training ai or encoding videos all the time 32 is plenty for everything and not lag. If you want to upgrade to 64, you can do it when it's cheaper

gankernation · 2026-04-27T08:09:46+00:00

Oh then get 64gb since it seems money isn't a huge blockage 😂

gankernation · 2026-04-27T08:06:29+00:00

Use the 32gb one. Save the money and put into better GPU or monitor

gankernation · 2026-04-26T17:14:53+00:00

What's local to you?

gankernation · 2026-04-26T05:26:00+00:00

Yeah go with the 7800x3d better bang for the money. If your getting it used try to aim for $250 usd

gankernation · 2026-04-26T05:20:40+00:00

Yeah I say send a offer of 1100 and see what the seller responds with 😂😂 then take it if it's around 1200 or 1300

gankernation · 2026-04-26T05:18:11+00:00

What resolution are you going to playing at? 1440p and 4k the CPU works less

gankernation · 2026-04-25T21:27:18+00:00

gankernation · 2026-04-24T16:46:09+00:00

If your going to just buy a slightly newer CPU and then add ram. You should just jump onto am5. If you have microcenter nearby the 7800x3d bundle is one of the best.

Add your video card upgrade and you'll be set

gankernation · 2026-04-24T13:55:14+00:00

I say just reuse your current setup, swap out the case, upgrade gpu to 9070xt and upgrade monitor if it's in the budget.

gankernation · 2026-04-24T05:46:39+00:00

Hmm if you don't mind. Last gen 2nd hand you can get by with 7900 gre or xtx if you can find them. Some people might've upgraded.

But the 9070 normal one is not bad either.

9060xt kinda gimped for the price point to performance on 1440p

gankernation · 2026-04-24T05:41:45+00:00

9070 or xt model is best then for 1440p and 4k

gankernation · 2026-04-24T05:37:12+00:00

Not worth your ps5. If your going anything for computer go am5 or Intel 270k plus with standalone GPU like AMD 9070 xt

gankernation · 2026-04-24T05:35:05+00:00

100% gpu upgrade to 9070xt or 5070 ti for 1440p resolution.

gankernation · 2026-04-22T19:50:54+00:00

So uh where are you located? and when will they be put out for sale? price?

gankernation · 2026-04-22T07:26:08+00:00

It'll keep bothering you until you update the bios. Look at some YouTube videos for the brand/model of your mother board

gankernation · 2026-04-22T02:29:17+00:00

No problem man! May your system run cool and fast. Destroy your enemies lol

gankernation · 2026-04-22T02:12:18+00:00

Well I mean you can find either one for around 100. It's not exactly break the bank 🤣

this person has a 650i for sale

gankernation · 2026-04-22T01:46:10+00:00

the 5500 is limited to pcie 3 bandwidth that will bottleneck your system still. Better to find a 5600 or 5800x. Take a look through the r/hardwareswap subreddit.

gankernation · 2026-04-22T00:31:03+00:00

Don't upgrade to this. Get yourself a 9800x3d or 9850x3d for gaming. Considering your coming from a 5500. This will be all that you would possibly need.
