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

    No, yeah, I get that, I was asking about that “100% CPU usage and 70% GPU usage and if I turn details up I get a slideshow”. Is this at 1440p or are you playing at 1080p?

    Edit: actually, I watched some benchmarks and the RX580 should deliver some solid FPS at 1440p so the CPU is the actual bottleneck here. Go first option and that will give you a very big framerate boost
