Is it better to improve your PC components or purchase new ones?
CPU model is AMD Ryzen 9 3900X with a Noctura dual fan cooler. The case includes additional fans—two at the top, two front, and one at the back. The motherboard is an ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. TUF GAMING X570-PLUS (WI-FI) built for AM4. The system comes from American Megatrends Inc., version 1405, dated November 19, 2019. It features 32.0GB of dual-channel DDR4 RAM at 1463MHz, a 931GB Samsung SSD 860 EVO 1TB (SATA), and a 465GB Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 500GB (type unknown). The GPU is a 4095MB NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER (EVGA). The power supply is an EVGA 750w unit, purchased in November 2019. The chassis is a Coolermaster mid tower; the exact model number is unclear. There’s a mesh front panel with four USB ports on top—one 3.0 port and a magnetic screen covering the fans. The operating system is Windows 10 Pro 64-bit, and the monitor is an MSI Optix G24C. I’m evaluating whether upgrading or purchasing a new system would be better for my needs. I play games like Diablo 4, Warzone, and Monster Hunter Wilds, aiming for at least 70 FPS. I don’t have time to build a PC myself but am open to considering an upgrade. My budget is between $1500 and $2000, and I’d like to upgrade to a 1440p display. Thank you.
Your Imgur URL doesn't work for me, takes me to the main page for Imgur. As for your specs, please list the specs to your build like so: CPU: CPU cooler: Motherboard: Ram: SSD/HDD: GPU: PSU: Chassis: OS: Monitor: include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time. To add, you're advised to stylize your thread with info asked of in this thread; *How to Ask for New Build or Upgrade Advice* How to Ask for New Build or Upgrade Advice First off, respect where respect is due - this is an adaptation of the Animal's *How To Ask For New Build Advice* Sticky. I created this because there's a lot of posts nowadays asking for upgrade advice both on here and on the CPU forums, and I feel... forums.
The only reasonable GPU available at the moment is the one listed here: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/3B...de...323-02-20g. Alternatively, you might look into models with an MSRP of 5070 or 5070 Ti, though that could take some time. You could also upgrade to a Ryzen 5800X3D, but this would mean sacrificing four CPU cores. If your main use is gaming and general tasks, it wouldn’t be a major drawback. The 5900X and 5950X are worth considering if you want to retain the core count. Replacing the existing GPU with an AM5 socket would likely require reallocating most of your remaining budget to a 7800X3D, 9800X3D, new motherboard, and additional 2x16GB DDR5 RAM.
If you receive a 5070, it should function properly with your existing setup. A new monitor might not be necessary unless you have specific concerns. Let me know if you'd like further advice.
