Building AdviceUpgrade/New PC within a €2500 budget in Spain?
This one also caught my eye, the PSU should work fine after five years. I'm a bit worried about potential problems down the line that could affect my GPU or CPU, so adding a solid new PSU might be safer. I might go ahead and save some money by doing this upgrade, as it's a decent improvement. I plan to check benchmarks for virtualization and gaming performance later. Tyvm
Sorry, sir. I just double-checked, and you don’t have an NH-15. You have a Noctua NH-U12S SE-AM4. Is it still okay? Should I use the same adapter bracket for AM5?
Sorry to ping you again, but
How would the performance differ if I just made these changes instead of fully swapping to am5? It’s almost twice as costly, but will it give me about double the speed or close to that?
I might be considering this option because I’m still trying to find the right answer by myself and asking questions, thanks a lot for all your help. By the way, I accidentally installed the wrong motherboard—I didn’t realize it was this model—do you know if this is compatible?
Asus PRIME X470-PRO AMD AM4 X470 ATX

btw i placed the motherboard incorrectly, didn't notice, is this one?
Asus PRIME X470-PRO AMD AM4 X470 ATX - Placa con M.2 heatsink, DDR4 3600MHz, doble M.2, HDMI, SATA 6Gbps y USB 3.1 Gen 2 conector panel frontal

checking my motherboard, it supports 5800x3d.

7800x3d uses 105W
4070ti 250W and it's recommended to use a PSU of 700+
my evga has 750, so I should be fine with my current setup
thanks everyone, just order the changes, and RN will come up with feedback as soon as I make the updates
The improvement from 5800x3d to 7800x3d is around 15 to 20% in performance, though not a doubling of speed. The am5 is using its first-generation chips and motherboard. The 5800x3d remains a solid CPU for current needs. It would be better to invest more in the GPU now rather than just upgrading the CPU.
It relies entirely on your willingness to invest $2500 for optimal performance and appearance or your desire to save as much as possible.
If you wish to fully commit to this upgrade, I strongly recommend choosing an AM5 chipset and a new graphics card.
Since I don’t have your current specifications, I can’t accurately suggest which components to upgrade or which to leave alone, so I compiled a complete parts list for a completely rebuilt system—something that would suit your needs or at least align with what I understand about it.
The CPU I’d consider is the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D (around $385).
Cooler options include Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4.
For the motherboard, the Gigabyte GIGA X670 AORUS ELITE AX (about $260) works well.
RAM would be two 16GB Kingston Fury Beast units at 6000MHz DDR5 (roughly $120).
The GPU should be an Asus GeForce RTX 4070 TUF Gaming with 12GB VRAM (around $650).
Power supply should be Corsair RM850x.
The case would be a Fractal Design Pop XL Air.
The monitor is an Asus TUF Gaming VG27AQ (1440P, 165Hz, IPS HDR, 350cd/m, about $250).
Storage selection depends on your preference; feel free to choose what fits best or reuse existing components.
In my opinion, Gigabyte motherboards stand out due to their solid features and robust VRMs, especially considering the value.
The RAM offers good compatibility for Ryzen 7000 series, running at 6000MHz—fast enough. No RGB lighting included.
I selected a balanced GPU price, assuming you’re comfortable with the 4000-series chips; personally, I’d opt for the 3080.
I already own both the Pop XL Air case and the VG27AQ monitor, and I’m really fond of them.
The case is spacious, accommodating a DVD drive under a 360-millimeter AIO and room for a large GPU in the future.
The monitor is stunning for its price—no further comments needed.
