Thanks for checking out my thread, I’d love to hear your thoughts on my current build. Always open to suggestions, insights, or even a little friendly critique from the experts here!
Here’s what I have currently:
Motherboard: ASRock B450M Steel Legend
CPU: Ryzen 5 3600X
RAM: 32GB DDR4
GPU: RTX 3070
PSU: Gigabyte 750W (80+ Gold Certified)
Let me know what you think! Any potential upgrades or bottlenecks you’d flag? Appreciate your feedback in advance!
it would be great if you could add the context of PC usage … vibe coding, designer, gaming like game names . this will add context for suggestion you are looking for.
Keeping same AM4 platform,
if gaming is priority 5700x3d cpu,
for productivity 5900XT
For the most part, it’s either idle or used for gaming and sometimes for work (Designing). Although I have plans in getting my skills up to video editing and vibe coding. Games would mostly be COD titles, Indie and Apex Legends.
This is what I have done recently, I have upgraded my gpu first 1070 ti to Rx9070xt and CPU 2700x to 5900xt. This week I will be upgrading ram to 2x32gb brought from secondary market and hoping to find another kit in secondary market.
Currently, I am learning and running LLM’s in local and my configuration is
5900xt+ rx9070xt+ 4x8gb + 850 platinum psu + 1440p
I was sitting on fence with 5700x3d and 5900xt decision but went with 5900xt gives more threads and decent uplift from current 2700x. This is best decision I have taken as I start to learn LLM’s.
Again depends on where you want your build to settle down the line. Identify any bottlenecks in your day to day usage and see which upgrade makes more meaningful to you.
In my case, I have upgraded my GPU first as it made huge difference then my cpu once I started learning LLMs and now RAM
