Hello. I'm assembling a gaming PC and considering an RTX 3070 TI (I'd prefer a 3060TI if possible). For the CPU, I was thinking of a Ryzen 5600X (6 cores, 12 threads at 3.7 GHz). However, with the RTX 3070 TI's power, I'm concerned about potential CPU bottlenecks. I aim to spend most of my time at 1440p, switching to 60fps for half the sessions and 120fps for the other half, depending on the game. The rest of the system would include a 750W Corsair TX-m 80 Plus Gold power supply, a 16GB Corsair Vengeance 3200MHz DDR4 RAM (2 x 8GB), an Asus PRIME B-550 PLUS 1 m.2 SSD, and a data SSD. This setup is strictly for gaming. Would a 750-watt PSU be sufficient?
Avoid that RAM! The 5600x works well with a 3070ti, but performance really hinges on memory capacity. Ensure you purchase a 2x8 DDR4 3200 or 3600 cl16-16-16-32/cl18-18-18-38 module in the correct dual channels. Also, verify the 750w power supply is reliable, not faulty.
I modified the RAM specifications slightly. Here’s the power supply information: https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories...M2B3200C16 The available options from the reseller are somewhat restricted.
Absolutely, 3200CL16 is the best choice anyone should think about. Any worse performance or delays won’t justify the cost unless you’re looking for a significant savings. I usually suggest systems with eight cores in 2021. Most users will find more value in total time over the lifespan of the hardware. Current games often perform better with eight cores. If you’re happy with your new PC, that’s great too!
Usually I purchase Seasonic, but I’m getting a gaming PC from a premium reseller that builds systems by customers (just like Origin PCs does in the US). I’m choosing this path because it’s the only option to obtain an RTX card at the manufacturer’s price in my region.
I understand, but the costs are rising rapidly. Also, think about upgrading from an extremely old it4790K with DDR3 2133MHz.
It costs more to purchase twice if you end up with 8 cores in 18-24 months. That's why I suggest getting 8 now. It's only more affordable to obtain 6 today if you delay upgrading for years ahead. Everyone's situation is different, so it might not be right for you. In my opinion, many people end up with slower systems because they've spent a lot of money trying to save. Some individuals hold onto their devices long enough that they actually saved the difference. I recommend choosing the option that fits your past spending habits, as 8 cores will always perform better. Your new PC will definitely feel great compared to your older setup.
