That's going to be a serious upgrade, are you moving to 1440p or already there?
previously there were issues, it was several weeks back when my Samsung 2560x1080p screen stopped working properly. Every fifth line shifted, making text unreadable. After trying fixes and disassembling it, it remained non-functional. Eventually, I upgraded to an Asus Tuf Gaming VG34VQL3A monitor with a 3440x1440p resolution at 180Hz. It performed well for its price. Following that change, Windows 10 support was ending, and my CPU couldn’t handle Windows 11. That prompted me to consider a full system refresh.
I upgraded from an i5-6600K, an ASUS Z170 Pro Gaming, 32GB DDR4 (3000MT/s), GTX 1070, 1TB SSD, and an H115i 280mm liquid cooler to an AMD Ryzen 7 7900X, an AMD Ryzen TUF Gaming B650 with Wi-Fi, 64GB DDR5 (6000MT/s), a GTX 4070 Ti Super, two 2TB M.2 drives, and the same EVGA G2 750 80+ Gold power supply, which is still under warranty. I kept using the same case—a Phantom 530 in white. I was considering switching to an AMD GPU but found its productivity performance, especially for software like Blender, lagged behind comparable NVIDIA options. The extra VRAM seemed appealing at first.
Yea, the 16gb vram is more than enough for now in gaming in 1440p, I expect in future it will be more important for games but not just yet, I'm more concerned with my rendering use case in blender it tends to eat up vram, I want to get into some game dev too. I've had the opportunity to use a thread-ripper system with an rtx6000 my god those are impressive components, I set it up for another department in my workplace who barely use it but I negotiated being allowed to use it from time to time in return for getting it working, its really fun setting it a task that puts the whole system at 100% for a few minutes I think my next upgrade will be buying some big HDDs and a small power supply for my old components and turning it into a NAS/Linux box so I can backup data locally
Consider official guidance from the motherboard support site before proceeding. Then attempt optimal settings to achieve near-perfect stability, typically around 100%. Many boards allow running four drives with significantly reduced clock speeds and timing parameters.
