Cost of upgrading my old pc (doubled the performance for under $600)

[starystulejarz]

GTX 1060 6 GB -> RX 5700 XT - $120
MSI Z270 Gaming M3 -> MSI z690-p ddr4 - $95
I7 7700k -> I7 12700k - $212
Same DDR4 ram as the old pc - $0
New Cpu cooler (Fera 5) - $26
550W -> 750W PSU - ~$80
------------------------------------------------------------
Total = $532

And who said PC gaming is expensive?

PS i'm yet to buy that PSU since i'm looking for a new deals everything else already been purchased with the same prices i listed

Also fuck Ryzen and their overpriced AM5 motherboards, DDR5 is also way too expensive for such minor fps boost.

Same DDR4 ram as the old pc

if you have DDR4 with speed like 2133/2400/2666 your CPU won't perform as you expect it to

you can upgrade platform first (MB+CPU+RAM)

cpu is cheaper but mobos are not so my point still stands, performance is very similar so Intel > AMD
