Is there a CPU, processor, and RAM upgrade available for between 700 and 800 euros?
Hello community,
I’m planning to enhance my PC built in 2019, which is currently constrained by graphics capabilities and frame rates. Here’s what I have so far:
Hardware:
Power supply – EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G3, 650W
Monitor – AOC Q3279VWF FreeSync
CPU – AMD Ryzen 7 2700 (3.2 GHz)
Motherboard – Asus PRIME B450M-A
GPU – EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 BLACK EDITION, 8 GB
Storage – Samsung Série 860 QVO, 1 TB, SATA III
Memory – DDR4 Corsair Vengeance LPX, Noir, 16 GB, 3000 MHz, CAS 16
Case – Cooler Master MasterBox NR400
I’m considering upgrading mainly the processor, CPU, and possibly memory. What are your thoughts?
Approximate purchase date: as soon as possible
Budget range: €700-800
Usage priority from highest to lowest:
Gaming, browsing the internet
Are you purchasing a monitor?
No
Parts to upgrade:
I believe the motherboard, CPU, and some RAM would be beneficial.
Do you need an operating system?
No
Location:
France/Paris
Overclocking:
Not sure
Multiple GPUs:
No
Your monitor resolution:
2560x1440p
And most importantly, why are you upgrading?
I’m getting back into games like World of Warcraft and have to keep graphics at minimum settings. Even then, my FPS is only 50.
This board is compatible with PCIe 5.

Thank you for your comments. I found it hard to distinguish between the two setups you shared. My goal is to enhance my PC's longevity, aiming for another 4 to 5 years before needing a major upgrade. Upgrading the GPU would be necessary, but I prefer to wait since prices are currently high. My friend suggested this configuration:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming B650
Memory: 6000MhZ RAM, CL30, 32GB
These parts should help extend the device's lifespan.
The setup you received might not fit a CPU cooler for your case. Is it necessary to use one?
Here are some aftermarket coolers suitable for that CPU.
For instance, the Deepcool AG620 67.88 CFM CPU Cooler is a good match.

Total cost includes shipping, taxes, and any available discounts.
