Here are some things I plan to keep from my current build:
- Corsair Vengeance C70 case
- EVGA SupaNOVA NEX650G 650W 80+ Gold Certified power supply
- 4 HDD + 2 NVME + 1 SSD
Here are some things I plan to get new:
- AMD Ryzen 7800X3D 4.2GHz 8-core processor
- be quiet! Pure Rock Slim 2 CPU cooler
- 32 GB (2*16GB) Corsair Vengeance DDR5-7200 RAM
- Asus TUF Gaming OC Radeon 7800 XT graphics card
Should I consider anything else?
Everything seems to work out in PCPartPicker with two exceptions.
It seems like most motherboards will need to be updated to support the CPU. I don't know if it's possible to do this without a CPU or how likely I am to get a board with an older BIOS version.
It also says the RAM requires 1.45V more than the recommended maximum voltage of the CPU (1.35V).
I plan to upgrade the RAM, cooler, and CPU first and do the GPU later when there are more sales. I don't think this should be an issue. I was thinking about upgrading the RAM later but my computer currently has DDR4 and I think the CPU only supports DDR5.
Yep, storage is so important for everything, not just gaming. If I were OP, I'd prioritize storage upgrades over RAM. DDR5 is an incremental improvement, but NVMe is an order of magnitude improvement.
