Need guidance on construction project.
Hello,
I’m planning to upgrade my AMD FX8350 + GTX970 system. Have you noticed any obvious problems with this configuration? Do you have suggestions to enhance it? The components I’ve already marked as purchased will be reused. Also, my liquid cooler is an H80i v1, not v2, and it supports AM5 with its default AM3 case. My maximum budget is around 1300$.

i’m not familiar with that AIO cooler. If it’s model v1 and still in use, it could be nearing the end of its lifespan. I’d recommend considering a new air cooler.

if you have the budget, a high-performance SSD could be a better option:
