Need help upgrading my first PC
Posted by AppropriateRent8973@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 1 comments
So I've recently been having problems with my ram (BSOD and dwindled it down to ram being the cause) and figured now might as well be a good time to upgrade some more parts. I originally had gotten a prebuilt during the pandemic to game and stream to friends, but I've made some upgrades to it over the years by changing the CPU, adding more storage, getting a nice monitor, and changing up the ram. Currently, I'd like to upgrade my motherboard (ideally to one with WiFi to have as a backup option) and then change the ram to DDR5. Later down the year I'll probably look into a new case or upgrading the GPU to some 40 series or if there's any new one that comes out with a better value. Does this sound like a good plan? Looking for suggestions on the mobo and ram since I'm still kinda new to understanding compatibility and what the mobo numbers are supposed to mean. Thanks!

You would need a new CPU with that plan. 5800x3d is on the AM4 motherboard socket, and there are no AM4 motherboards that support DDR5 RAM. You’re better off just getting the new GPU, your current CPU can handle it at 165hz 1440p no problem.
