My current pc specs are:
- Asus Prime H310M-K r2.0 (pcie 3.0 x16 max)
- I5-9400f
- Deep cool i35 cooler
- AMD Radeon Rx 580
- Kingston ddr4 1x16gb
- Corsair TX650
- Gigabyte G27Q monitor
- And two ssd’s and a HDD
I have two options I have a budget of about 400 euros and I am thinking of upgrading as the PC is getting a little unresponsive in general use and gaming. Leaning towards option 1 as the cpu is almost always above 50% usage at idle as I use my PC as a server for jellyfin and some other services ,but with them off in-game the cpu is almost at 100% in tf2 and pretty much any other game and the gpu is at 70% unless in cs2 ,then if the quality is set any higher than low it is a literal slideshow.
Option 1:
- MSI Pro b650-s wifi
- AMD Ryzen 7600
- Crucial/Kingston ddr5 2x8gb
Option 2:
- Nvidia rtx 3060/3070 with broken HDMI output (both used)
Requirements:
- Motherboard Atx
- Cpu am5
- Must be available in Lithuania/EU for used parts only skelbiu.lt or eneba.lt
If you don’t care about transcoding, you could probably use a raspberry pi 4 or 5.
Fair point if you actually intend to move that workload to the remaining parts after an upgrade, but I can’t stress enough, there’s no point in trying to avoid putting the server workload on different hardware.
Your existing rig should be doing TF2 at 200+fps
