5500 vs 10400f
I share your opinion. When the time comes, I can upgrade to 5800X3d. However, moving from i5 4690k to R5 5500 seems like a solid upgrade.
It's tough to measure just how impactful CPU upgrades really are because performance changes vary widely, and standard benchmarks often don't reflect real-world use. I started this discussion to provide more examples for those wanting to upgrade and see how much a CPU can affect performance. In similar tests, frame rates can jump from almost no change to nearly triple at high resolutions like 4K ultra.
Pairing the Ryzen 5500 with premium DDR4 RAM unlocks the full potential of its monolithic architecture. These processors can handle high speeds like 4400MHz, ensuring smooth performance without stutters. The investment would be worth it for a fast, responsive setup.
I’d opt for what fits the budget, using the extra $20 to upgrade to a high-capacity SSD that matches the setup at https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VVr3Kp. It would make any game run smoothly if paired with a powerful GPU.
they are asking why you do 2x8 and then add one more 8, but it doesn’t seem to be about a piano setup.
It's only two units from the same set, having 32GB of RAM is helpful for certain games and dual-rank mode works better in a DDR4 setup for speed. What power supply are you using? You probably won't need to replace it unless it's a reliable model with enough power for your needs.
I require a fresh CPU, M.2 RAM, PSU case (excluding GPU), and an old MS500W PSU with 32GB RAM. I’ve put together a setup but am unsure if I should post it publicly.
I hadn't realized you required a fresh case and power supply. If that's the case, could we adjust your budget a bit more? Going below the parts list on pcpartpicker.com would mean missing out on much of the performance you're getting now. Staying within this list gives you the best balance of speed and value, allowing you to add a matching RAM kit and cooler later for around $90.
