Provide guidance on upgrading a hardware dummy for gaming purposes.
Hello,
I’m looking to improve my self-built gaming PC from five years ago. I had no idea what upgrades would work best, but it functioned fine at the time. Back then, a forum helped pick the components for me.
I’m not interested in hardware changes. I understand most parts, but I’m unsure about different models or compatibility.
My goal is to upgrade because my current graphics are no longer sufficient for the games I enjoy: Cyberpunk, Anno 1800, Satisfactory, and Baldurs Gate 3.
I’d like to know which parts to replace and with what. My budget is around 2000€.
System details:
- OS: Microsoft Windows 10 Home
- Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 3800X 8-core
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER
- RAM: 3109 GB (32GB, 2x 16GB) G.Skill RipJaws V DDR4-3200 Dual Kit
- Storage: Samsung SSD 860 EVO 2TB
- Power supply: 650W quiet! Dark Power Pro 11 Modular 80+ Platinum
- CPU cooler: EKL Alpenföhn Brocken 3
- Case: be quiet! Silent Base 801
Please advise me on the necessary upgrades and their specifications.
Let me know if anything is missing.

This is far more than I expected, thank you very much.
After switching from Nividia to Radeon, do I need to clean and wipe my system?
I also plan to purchase a "2TB WD Black SN850X M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 3D-NAND TLC" for additional storage.
Is this compatible with my motherboard?
Remove the old drivers and confirm the SSD will function properly.
When you decide to remove the previous GPU, perform this step before swapping the card in safe mode. After that, power off the computer, connect the new PSU and GPU, restart it, and then install the drivers from amd.com.
