Hi all, recently found my PC have been sluggish when doing Excel work and opening multiple apps. Probably time to upgrade on RAM but want to have thoughts and recommendations on what can be upgraded since is been a while since the last.
[B][Budget] 2-3k
[Purpose]
Normal Excel usage. For gaming, mainly on PathOfExile currently but if upgraded, am keen to play older titles like BaldursGate3 / GodOfWar Ragnarok / DM5. Doesnt have to be on max settings.
[Hardwares that will be re-use]
My Rig currently as below:
B550 Asrock Pro4
Ryzen 5 3600
16GB Zadak 3200 MHZ
Zotac Gaming GeForce GTX 1660
Deepcool 650W PSU
On Deepcool CL500 Case
[Monitor resolution] Dont plan to change monitor.
Well, you missed 6.6 sale. This is the final upgrade for this motherboard. Try
Ryzen 7 5700X (please update your BIOS) - 868
Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE - 118
Kingston HyperX Fury Beast 16GB DDR4-3200 X2 - 302
Sapphire RX 9060 XT 16GB (ignore any 8GB cards) - 1759
RM3047 total (Shopee prices)
You might be able to get 5700X3D with small topup if mid month sale goes your way next week.
