Hey guys, my PC is getting kind of “old” and i’m thinking about upgrading it, considering the performance is starting to feel subpar.

I feel like the CPU is causing most of the problems but i’m not quite sure, and would like some advice as to what needs upgrading most. Here are the specs :

  • CPU : Ryzen 3 1300X
  • Motherboard : MSI B350 Gaming Plus
  • RAM : 16GB of DDR4 2133MHz RAM (2*8)
  • GPU : Geforce GTX 1060 6GB

Thanks for your insights !

    That’s a first gen 4 core that has memory latency issues. The board could be too low end on VRM to handle a 5600x upgrade

    Can you afford to build a brand new everything PC?

      If i wait some more yeah i sure could, considering the age of my current PC, it is indeed possible that everything needs an upgrade
