Hey everyone! It’s been 2 years since I’ve posted here with my new build.I’ll make it real simple on why I want to upgrade, what issues I have, and the price points. There’s 2 photos included, showing off 2 builds. The intel is what I currently have, and the Ryzen is what I want to upgrade to.  When talking about my FPS averages, I will be using the game League of Legends since I have played it every week since upgrading, and it’s the best baseline for me. Plus it isn’t a demanding game, so performances should be up compared to realistic ones. 

I seem to have been having stability issues since day 1, but it has gotten much worse. For 2 days I couldn’t get it to boot due to a BIOS issue and I had to learn how to flash the BIOS. intel needed to come out with a new BIOS update to fix that issuse after I did. I have XMP disabled for pretty much this whole time because if it’s on my PC will bluescreen once a week. I currently am running 3200 clock speed because that’s where I’m most stable. But when I had it up and running I was averaging around 450FPS on League when it was stable.  Now I average around 80-220 frames every day, and it will fluctuate that much every game. I have a 144hz and 240hz monitors. I play games; and do alot of editing using photoshop and Lightroom. Down below I’ll put a simple reason why I want to upgrade; and why I want each piece. Can y’all let me know if it’s worth it for what I want, or should I wait? 

Issues: I average 80-220 frames on most games, bluescreen issues, crashes, stutters, freezing, can’t use certain programs especially recording ones. 

Final: if I would buy the motherboard, CPU, and RAM it would cost $900 since I can trade in my CPU and they’re giving free watercoolers out. 


Hello! Intermediate PC guy here looking for answers regarding on why my current build is a failure, how much of a plus or minus switching multiple parts would be, and if the price is worth it,
