If your PSU supports it, the top choice for improving your setup would be an AMD Ryzen 7 5700X, Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GB DDR4-3200 CL16 memory, and Kingston NV2. Keep in mind that the real benefit from these upgrades hinges on how much your older 9600K limited performance in your 2070 Super. Before purchasing, verify your CPU usage reaches full capacity during gameplay. If not, consider delaying the upgrade until you can refresh the whole system later—though noticeable gains will still appear outside gaming. The NV2 model would offer a clear boost in loading times.
It's a solid chip, but for gaming the 5600 non X offers better value. The price tag for 32 GB isn't necessary. NV2 still works well, and with the 5600 non X you get a cooler case. I'd invest a bit more in a better motherboard—something like a B550M Mortar or Tomahawk—to stretch your budget further @Emerald108.
I didn’t really ask that question. Did you mean to check if you need 32GB? (It makes sense now, given what Hogwarts Legacy requires.)
Thanks for your patience. I checked the compatibility of the CPU with your motherboard, and it appears to support only Intel. It seems that most of the time my memory and CPU reach maximum capacity, which leads to performance issues. For Intel CPUs, you might want to consider models with higher base speeds or better power efficiency. Upgrading to a 16GB RAM setup isn’t sufficient for your current usage, so an upgrade is definitely necessary. Installing this yourself can be challenging due to limited local support, but it’s doable if you’re prepared.
It’s straightforward to set up. Just like the other mobile, but with an advantage.
Looking for a straightforward CPU choice? Since your existing board has limitations, consider one that’s simple to install. If you’re open to swapping boards, a more accessible option would be ideal.
5800x3d as mentioned earlier and a B550 Tomahawk or a B550 Mortar Board
Consider 5800X if you can afford it. Otherwise, the 5700X still works well. Your board only accepts 8th and 9th generation Intel CPUs. As mentioned before, you might opt for a 9900K with your motherboard, but it’s unlikely you’ll find one at a reasonable price and it won’t match today’s high-performance chips in your budget. Below are some Passmark results (these aren’t exact) that should clarify why upgrading is best done now rather than sticking with older parts. https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/333...-7-5800X3D CPU and MB installation on AM4 is just as straightforward as with other systems.
