Upgrading my PC build
Upgrading my PC build
Hello,
I’m preparing to upgrade my PC and would appreciate your thoughts on a few points.
My current components are:
Processor: R5 5600
RAM: Kingston DDR4 3600 CL16
Case: ASUS AP201
MBO: ASUS TUF B550M-PLUS WIFI II
Fans: X7 from Arctic, P12PWM PST
PSU: CoolerMaster V650 SFX Gold
GPU: RTX 4070 Super ASUS EVO OC
The new build I’m considering is:

Processor: Ryzen 7800x3D
Ram: Kingston Fury Beast White RGB 32GB, DDR5 6000MT/s, CL30
Case: PCCoolers C3 500
MBO: Gigabyte B650M AORUS ELITE AX ICE
PSU: Gigabyte UD850GM PG5W
GPU: RTX 4070 Super ASUS EVO OC
Notes: I already own a GPU, so I’ll keep it.
The case I plan to use is PCCoolers C3 500, which includes six A-RGB fans in dual chambers and three more from Arctic’s AIO units—plenty for the job.
Concerns:
-I’ve noticed Gigabyte PSUs can be unreliable; how about this one? I’ve read many reviews, but it looks solid. Any suggestions for alternatives? I was also watching MSI MAG 850GL PCIE 5 White.
-Regarding the processor, should I opt for R7 7800x3D or the more expensive R7 9700X?
The case I plan to use is PCCoolers C3 500, which includes six A-RGB fans in a dual chamber setup, combined with three additional fans from Arctic's AIO. It seems sufficient for my needs.
I prefer traditional rectangular PC cases rather than aquarium-style designs, opting for ones that provide airflow from front to back or top, similar to this model:

It also has a white version.
Another option I found is:

I noticed you have a matx board, but with an ATX motherboard it often leaves the internal components looking incomplete.
The remaining parts look good overall, just to be sure.
Flash the BIOS to the latest version as soon as the system powers on.
I’ve read many reviews about Gigabyte PSUs; I’m checking if this one is reliable. It’s from a review of the MSI MAG 850GL PCIE 5 White.
The processor options I considered were R7 7800x3D and the more affordable R7 9700X.
What should I choose for the build or upgrade?
Moved this thread to the Systems section from the Components section.
Hey, thanks for your time. Just wanted to note that the case I chose was actually the second one, but I should have mentioned the main build option I had in mind: "1stPlayer UV6 White." It works well with my M-ATX motherboard, and the C3 500 is a solid choice for that setup. To be honest, Montech is quite expensive, so I’m leaning toward an MSI PSU instead. The goal is 4K gaming and some blender tasks.
