I am not planning to overclock, stream, or use SLI/Crossfire Monitor: Dell 24 Gaming Monitor – S2417DG Core: Intel i5-8400 2.8GHz 6-Core Heatsink: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO MOBO: Gigabyte – Z390 UD ATX LGA1151 RAM: G.Skill – Aegis 8 GB (1x8 GM) DDR4-3000 GPU: EVGA Geforce GTX 1660 Ti 6 GB XC Case: Corsair Carbide 275R PSU: RMx 550 W 80 Does this look reasonable and not under/overkill? Thanks! | ||

You do need two RAM sticks (so 2x4GB or 2x8GB) for proper RAM performance could also save some money on the PSU since that kind of build uses about 200 watts at full load | ||

I have around $1000-$1500 usd price range. I want an AMD build... I'm in the U.S. again but I spend a lot of time between here and the Philippines. (Ship either) Haven't done this is in a long time so I'm looking for guidance. [Edit: I intentionally kept this really short because I'm ignorant anymore! Please pm me we'll go into details and much] | ||

 They're keeping the same socket until like 2021. The main question is which boards will get proper bios updates and support for newer gen CPU's. | ||

However, it's not high on my purchase list in terms of priority right now. | ||

Keep in mind that all of that info is unconfirmed for now ;D should have a lot more solid stuff in 6 weeks if not before. | ||

My build is mostly from 2011, except for the GPU which I got in 2016 Case: Cooler Master HAF 912 CPU: i5 2500k Motherboard: ASUS P8P67 Cooling: XIGMATEK Gaia SD1283 120mm Long Life Bearing CPU Cooler LGA1150 Haswell Compatible Ram: CORSAIR ValueSelect 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) PSU: XFX Core Edition PRO450W (P1-450S-XXB9) 450W GPU(upgraded in 2016): EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti SC GAMING, 4GB GDDR5 Storage: Samsung 860 EVO 500GB 2.5 Inch SATA III I am not planning to overclock, stream, or use SLI/Crossfire What is your monitor's native resolution? 1920x1080 144hz Why do you want to upgrade? What do you want to achieve with the upgrade? I got help from this thread back in 2011 and you guys were awesome! I recently got hooked on APEX Legends and want to get more FPS (144 consistent if possible) Basically more FPS in APEX and like games in future What is your budget? 400 or less - Might just be looking at a MOBO/CPU/RAM upgrade recommendation from you guys for now and then eventually upgrade the GPU in a year or two What country will you be buying your parts in? USA - Can drive to local microcenter or frys less than 1 hour away If you have any brand or retailer preferences, please specify. I prefer INTEL over AMD because that's what I've grown up using, but open to suggestions. | ||

I also want to upgrade my computer about 300-400€ aswell just with mobo/cpu/ram but I will wait few months because of AMD Ryzen 7nm (1-3 months away). If you really insist on Intel, you can upgrade now. I feel there will be a "breakthrough" when AMD 7nm arrives just as i5-2500k did in 2011. | ||
