Hello dear reader,
I am looking to partially upgrade my 6 year old rig(specs below). My reasoning for picking the Ryzen 7 7800x3d is because TF2 is a heavily CPU-bound game which relies on single core performance, thus 7800x3d seems to me like a good choice. The reason for picking AMD is that I am looking to switch to Linux in the near future, and from what I know, their components work best compared to their competition.
I am also considering getting a RX 6600 XT used, there is one listed for 200€ (with warranty/bought half a year ago). I would then upgrade this component down the line.
Budget: 800€, but I can be flexible
Approximate Purchase Date: I'm in no rush
Use Case: TF2, other shooters, Starfield(not crucial) and some other AAA games (Red Dead Redemption 2 has been sitting in my library for the past 2-3 years unfinished)
Parts to Upgrade: CPU, SSD, Motherboard?
Am I buying a monitor: No
Your Monitor Resolution and desired frame rate: 1920x1080 144hz ; 250fps stable in TF2
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Whatever ships to Croatia without ridiculous fees
Parts Preferences: AMD
Overclocking: Maybe
Additional Comments: -I still use the disc drive
