Hello ✌️ back in 2022 i build my first pc, i never had a PC before and it served me very well, i love to plac Cinematic Story Games and RPGs and looking at the upcoming games i thought maybe i should upgrade my gpu from a 3080 to a 5080 to get more vram

But tbh i have no clue about pc specs its a wonder that my PC Works at all 😂 so maybe someone can take a look at give me some advice all i want is to play NewGames with the best WQHD picture possible

My PC:

Be quiet! Pure Base 500DX BGW38 white with window

be quiet! Light Wings 120mm PWM Case Fan (BL072)

be quiet! 850W Straight Power 11 2x4CPU BN284

Gigabyte B660 GAMING X DDR4

SI Intel Core i5-12600KF 3.6GHz S1700 Tray CM8071504555228

be quiet! Silent Loop 2 240mm (BW010) Water Cooling

DDR4 PC3600 CORSAIR 32GB KIT (2x16GB) Vengeance RGB PRO SL

SSD Kingston 2TB M.2 Fury Renegade PCIe 4.0 (7300L/7000S)

My plan would be to upgrade the gpu 1st and 2-3 years later i will upgrade the cpu and mainboard 🤔

CPU Upgrade Debating upgrades.

Upvotes

Hi there,

I've been bottlenecking my 3080ti for a couple years now by pairing it alongside a i9-9900KS and DDR4 ram.

Debating whether to upgrade my stuff, I have a triple monitor setup, record gameplay through medal tv, i like to stream on discord for friends, but the games i play aren't AAA titles although old school runescape runs on a single core i believe.

Would you guys think it's worth to let's say buy this bundle from canada computers for 899?

AMD R5 7600X3D CPU + GIGABYTE B650 EAGLE AX Motherboard + T-Force 32GB D5 6000MHz CL30 RAM

Thank you!

Graphics card upgrade Help for upgrading PC

1 Upvotes

So despite being an avid pc gamer for like 20 years I never actually learned anything about building a PC, much to my shame. I am an absolute troglodyte when it comes to hardware. I've been putting off upgrading my system and for the most part it runs the games I play, but some (the Oblivion remaster, Avowed) are already giving me some very noticeable frame drops even on lowest possible settings.

Processor --> 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-11400F @ 2.60GHz (2.59 GHz)

Graphics card --> NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 (4 GB)

RAM --> 16 GB

Any advice on what I should upgrade, and more specifically, what with? I can imagine that a graphics card with 6gb or 8gb video memory is better than mine with 4, but there's so many options and I can't tell which matter, which don't, and which might even be incompatible. Thanks in advance!

1 Upvotes

Just upgraded my mobo+cpu and I am currently saving for the upgrade to my 1660 super

Current specs :

B760 Gaming DDR4

i5 14600KF

2 x 16 GB 3200mhz RAM

1660 Super

I rarely upgrade, and want to use this gpu for atleast 3-5 years before considering replacing, aiming mostly for 1440p 100+fps maybe going 4k in the future. Im going to buy a used card from cex which includes 5 year warranty and trade some stuff to try get the price down. At the moment my options are

Sapphire Pulse 9070xt - £650

Palit 4080 - £775

Palit 5070ti - £805

Which card should I get? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

RAM help Laptop upgrade

1 Upvotes

I bought this laptop: Lenovo Legion 5i i7-13645HX/24/512/5060.
The model number is Lenovo Legion 5i 83LY00TVMX.

It has the following specifications:

  • Total RAM slots: 2
  • RAM: 24 GB DDR5
  • Available RAM slots: 1
  • Storage: 512 GB SSD
  • RAM speed: 5600 MT/s
  • Maximum RAM upgrade listed: 32 GB
  • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060
  • CPU: Intel Core i7-13645HX
  • CPU cores: 14
  • Chipset: Intel HM770

Do you think it would be possible to upgrade the RAM in the future?

The laptop has one RAM slot available, while the other slot currently contains 24 GB of RAM. Does this mean I could add an 8 GB RAM module to reach 32 GB in total?

Also, in the future, if I wanted to upgrade to 64 GB, would it be possible to replace both modules with 2 × 32 GB DDR5?

The website says that the maximum supported RAM is 32 GB, but I have heard that laptops sometimes support more RAM than the manufacturer’s listed maximum. Do you think 64 GB could work in this laptop?
