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
No tf2 is performing good but it just waits like 7 seconds when I press a button sometimes it is way worse ,sometimes it is inexistent at max load with no containers no apps just tf2 and mango HUD about 360fps. But there are some big lag spikes like 10 seconds plus when launching it.
