I'm considering a major upgrade for my PC and seeking recommendations. I'm open to suggestions regardless of cost, but I'm not keen on replacing the motherboard and power supply myself. My current setup includes a Ryzen 5 2600, an Asus Strix B450-f GPU, and a Rosewill CAPSTONE 750W PSU (80 PLUS GOLD). I plan to replace the CPU with a 3080 soon. It will be used for editing, streaming, and gaming. Thanks in advance for your advice. — EnderGaming
Consider upgrading to a better CPU such as Ryzen 5 3600 or 3700X. You might wait a month or two for a Ryzen 4th generation model instead. Upgrading to a Ryzen 4th gen should work without needing a new motherboard. What RAM and storage do you currently have? After the CPU upgrade, you should be able to run the RTX 3080 smoothly.
Check if Ryzen 4600 fits your setup. Upgrading depends on a specific need. Gaming and video tasks may offer various options.
Your setup is a gaming, streaming, and editing station running at 1080p with 144Hz refresh rate.
Check if a 4600 is compatible with your motherboard. A 3700 won’t offer much speed for its price unless prices drop significantly.
