Discussion Replacing my old PC and DIY a New PC

[xxxpwlxxx]

Hi everyone here,

I would like to seek you guys and girl opinion /advices and guides.

Thanks you so much. Your comment will be appreciated and grateful to you.

My current PC
Amd ryzen 2700X
Asus prime Pro x470 motherboard
Gigabyte g1 gaming 1070 gpu
1 TB western digital blue hard disk
Western digital 500gb ssd
Corsair Vengeance LPX 3000mhz 2x8gb (16)


I am going to build a PC mainly /mostly for playing games, daily surfing of Internet, watching YouTube or movies.

Hope you all guys can recommend me good cpu for gaming. Fps is my main concern.

 

[daveybrat]

If that's your current PC i really don't understand why you would even consider a new build??

 

[xxxpwlxxx]

Because of bottleneck?

I went to bottleneck website and check whether does my CPU and GPU or any hardware/component bottlenecking.

And

 

[daveybrat]

The only upgrade i can recommend if you want higher FPS is to upgrade the GTX 1070 to a GTX 2060 Super, GTX 2070, or GTX 2070 Super.

I disagree daveybrat. It sounds like he went to a bottleneck website, so this is a major concern for them. The OP really should replace their CPU and GPU with a Ryzen 3900X and a RTX 2080ti to cure all bottlenecks.

No, he just needs to pony up for the AlienWare that he's always wanted.

And from the bottleneck website it said that the gpu and cpu will bottleneck each other

 

[Flayed]

You could sell your 2700x and buy a 3700x would probably cost you around $175 or so but I wouldn't bother, just buy a faster GPU as Daveybrat said.

 

[Fanatical Meat]

OP nailed it with Guys and Girl.

There is literally one girl on these forums at a time.

Also I agree current system looks pretty good but I don’t know what the expectations are, if it was my system I’d be good for years with that machine other than maybe a graphics card change.

And

Assuming that bottleneck website sells stuff to remove bottlenecks don’t trust it.
Your machine is very capable and should run nearly everything great.

Back to expectations.

If your goal is to be continuously in the top few percentile of performance, go for the upgrade and understand upgrading will be a continuing process that never ends.
I’m not going to say what’s right because it’s your machine & your budget.

I say the website is wrong. First upgrade that GPU to a 2070super, a 2080 or 2080ti. Depending on budget. Only then would I think about trading in your CPU for a 3700x or 3900x, but they will not make much difference, that 2700x is fine, and mostly GPU bottlenecked.

They posted a modified version of this question back on August 12th over at Linus Tech Tips
Of course they don't say they own a Ryzen 2700X. My question would be if they already own the complete Ryzen build they listed in their first post, have they not played a game on it (to see how it performs)?

People gave them plenty of build suggestions, but later in the thread, the OP switches gears and then states:

I hate crap like this. If you want an intel chip then get a damn intel chip. Who cares, if you like or prefer or even lust after the idea of having an intel chip get the damn intel chip.

Why? The OP did asked for advice and the received some good ones. Odds are that he wouldn't even notice any performance increase anyway if he did build a new system.

He should just save his money for a new system when he does need to upgrade.

Because it is too easy for someone to read a review on a 9900K or 3900X (or anything in between), and buy what works for their needs. But when they post threads like they did at Linus (where they've been a user at since 2013), and then post this today:
https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/does-intel-cpu-really-pwn-own-amd-cpu.2569571/

It doesn't make any (logical) sense, and simply looks like they have ulterior motive. They say (at least with their post here) they currently own an "old DIY" Ryzen 2700X system, and that their use for the system is "mainly /mostly for playing games, daily surfing of Internet, watching YouTube or movies". However, they're not sure if their system can handle that, and instead want to "upgrade the CPU". People spend their time giving advice / build suggestions, but then out of no where wonder about switching to an Intel system instead.

The icing on the cake that they're not serious with what they are asking about here (or the other forums) are posts like this: https://mobile.carousell.com/p/-gigabyte-geforce-gtx-1070-237482771

Just strikes me as a guy who bought something and now a year later has buyers remorse. No satisfying these types ever.
There was another poster who had continuous problems with his 2700x system. So many problems it made no sense to the posters on this forum who know way more than the average person, plus problems that were “trust me” type problems like trust me, my phone charges slower on my X470 boards usb than it does on my i3 system. Dumb things that can’t be quantified and even if true why does a phone charging minutes faster on one machine vs another matter.
Simple answer is he will never be satisfied with his current system, time to sell it recoup what money can be recouped and build or buy the system he wants.
To talk about replacing a fairly modern system because some random website says there is a bottleneck somewhere that’s not identified is really weird to do.

Or they're hit pieces, from "Digital Marketers". These people and the orgs behind them, really do exist.

EDIT: Maybe they're not, in the case of the OP, if they've been a member of that other site since 2013. Maybe they're just having a change of heart about their platform. I've occasionally posted "biased" stuff occasionally, if I had a strong sense of emotional pique about a component or vendor pro or con. Longer-term, though, I'm mostly just concerned for bang-for-buck.

Thanks UsandThem. While I have done not really needed "upgrades" before when I was younger, I always been mindful not to go way overboard and actually kept my systems for ~3 to ~4 years or so.

My buyers remorse has always been more about spending the money not wishing I brought something different then what I did.
