Hello! Your new PC specs look solid: a high-end motherboard, powerful CPU, ample RAM, and a fast SSD. Your previous setup was older, so you're making a big upgrade. With these components, streaming or recording at 1080p high/ultra should be manageable. Just keep an eye on power delivery and cooling, especially with the new GPU and CPU. You should be good to go!
Absolutely! This model handles 1080p, 1440p, and 4K smoothly, even at high or ultra settings. I tested it with a 2080p setup and it ran well. Great performance! Short clip, no fluff.
Fair point, mostly because I live in Venezuela and power cuts happen almost every day. The extra 100-200 bucks probably went to a UPS, which might not fully protect my new rig but at least prevents total failure. I understand it's still lagging, but switching from an i5 2400 to an i7 11700 is a big upgrade (at least that's what I think). Regarding the PSU, it seems outdated. I built my old rig in 2012 and have already tested the PSU with a tester, but I know the next upgrade should be the PSU. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to upgrade this time.
It's a reasonable approach to safeguard data with the UPS. Expect significant performance gains from upgrading to the eleventh generation Core processor compared to the second generation. Think about the risks if the PSU fails, as it could damage other parts—especially since you've already invested in new components. When swapping, make sure to use the cables included with the new PSU; mismatched cables can cause issues if not properly replaced.
It's accurate, the older power supply might stop working at any time. 750W should be sufficient for this setup? Also, I'm going to swap out the cable since the old GPU has built-in cables. It's not like newer models that let you connect and disconnect them easily.
In theory, running a 11700K and 3060 Ti should work. However, in practice capacitors gradually lose their full capacity and power supplies can't provide the same maximum output over time. This depends on age, temperature, and load conditions, affecting overall performance. The old PSU is a non-modular unit, with all connections permanently soldered. Modern units are modular or semi-modular, allowing cables to be easily connected or disconnected as needed. Some models also offer semi-modular options, letting you manage PCIe, SATA, and other ports. Non-modular units are less common now due to the popularity of modular designs.
