Consider these improvements (Budget, First Post)
What upgrades can I make to run Silent Hill 2 remake smoothly? I want at least 50-60 frames per second. I tried asking on Discord and someone suggested starting with a CPU upgrade—like the 5800XT or 5700X. Later, they recommended moving to a GPU such as an ASRock Radeon RX 7600 Challenger 8GB or similar models. They mentioned you should only consider a B580 or B570 if you have a rebar. I need help picking the best budget option (Amazon only) with a max of $200 for the CPU and $300 for the GPU, given my current specs: GTX 1650, Ryzen 3 1300X, 16GB RAM, SSD, motherboard, and power supply.
Psu specifications are as follows. The motherboard is quite subpar, but it can function with sufficient airflow. For the CPU, a 5700X3D offers the best value, paired with a decent budget cooler since the stock cooler from the 1300 series isn’t up to the task. Regarding the case, please let me know your preference so I can suggest a suitable budget option. The GPU is a solid choice—consider used models or confirm availability when purchasing. An Arc B580 remains a good investment, though its future availability isn’t guaranteed.
Suggest improving the profile by including a Ryzen 5 5600 processor and an RTX 3060 12GB graphics card.
I've noticed that 80 plus white is still a thing, having bought several refurbished GPUs without issues. CPUs seem tough and I've handled RAM without trouble—except when I accidentally misread a price. I tend to avoid used drives or power supplies. Graphics cards vary, but they usually don't offer enough savings for both. To verify a GPU's quality, I check images and request screenshots from tools like GPU-Z and Time Spy or similar benchmarks.
