Looking to upgrade with a 5800X alongside your RTX 2080 SUPER
Your setup looks solid for gaming at 1080p with 144Hz. The B450 Carbon with 32GB RAM and RTX 2080 Super should handle the demands of modern titles. Unless you're targeting very high-end games or future-proofing for next-gen releases, you’re likely within reasonable limits. Consider upgrading only if you notice significant performance drops or if you want to explore more powerful options later.
You're already getting great performance on your current setup. The extra upgrades seem unnecessary since most games run smoothly at 3600f or higher.
At 1080p your performance is more likely constrained by your 3700X compared to a 2080 Super, though this varies with the games you play. Regardless, keep an eye on reviews. It’s probably not urgent to act right now because AMD says Zen 3 support for B450 and X470 will arrive in January 2021.
Hey there, I understand. I'm not in a rush either. Let's check some third-party benchmarks.
