My current pc specs are:

  • Asus Prime H310M-K r2.0 (pcie 3.0 x16 max)
  • I5-9400f
  • Deep cool i35 cooler
  • AMD Radeon Rx 580
  • Kingston ddr4 1x16gb
  • Corsair TX650
  • Gigabyte G27Q monitor
  • And two ssd’s and a HDD

I have two options I have a budget of about 400 euros and I am thinking of upgrading as the PC is getting a little unresponsive in general use and gaming. Leaning towards option 1 as the cpu is almost always above 50% usage at idle as I use my PC as a server for jellyfin and some other services ,but with them off in-game the cpu is almost at 100% in tf2 and pretty much any other game and the gpu is at 70% unless in cs2 ,then if the quality is set any higher than low it is a literal slideshow.

Option 1:

  • MSI Pro b650-s wifi
  • AMD Ryzen 7600
  • Crucial/Kingston ddr5 2x8gb

Option 2:

  • Nvidia rtx 3060/3070 with broken HDMI output (both used)

Requirements:

  • Motherboard Atx
  • Cpu am5
  • Must be available in Lithuania/EU for used parts only skelbiu.lt or eneba.lt

    Option 1. AMD is gonna help you upgrade in the future. Their AM5 CPU socket will be upgradeable for a few generations of processors (Intel makes a new socket for each generation).

    Currently, your processor and single stick of RAM (single channel is half the performance of dual channel) are slowing you down. Your graphics card is also getting old, but if you keep your settings reasonably low, it’ll still work fine. I would make that your next upgrade.
