Switching your PC from LGA1155 to B450 requires careful planning and proper components.
Switching your PC from LGA1155 to B450 requires careful planning and proper components.
Hello, I'm planning to modernize my older LGA 1155 rig with newer B450/Ryzen configurations. I need to figure out which of my existing parts will work with the latest motherboard and processor. My budget is around £200, and I'm completely new to AMD products, so I'd really appreciate some guidance on suitable upgrades. I mainly use gaming software like MB II: Bannerlord, but mostly focus on 3D modeling and high-poly sculpting, which my current setup struggles with. Right now I have an Intel Core i5 3570 @ 3.40GHz (34°C), Ivy Bridge 22nm, 16GB DDR3 dual-channel at 665MHz, a Gigabyte Z68X motherboard (1155 socket), and a GTX 1060 6GB NVIDIA at 2047MB. I'm considering the HQ272PPB graphics card as well. Let me know what options fit within my budget and requirements.
