Advice for Upgrading My PC Parts
Asked by
TechWiz2023
I'm looking to upgrade my PC from a GTX 960 and an FX8350 to a 5060 Ti and a Ryzen 5 9600X. Since my CMOS battery died, I thought it would be a great opportunity to build a new system. However, I'm uncertain about which parts will work well together. I'd appreciate any insights or recommendations!

Definitely a good move towards modern hardware! Pairing the 5060 Ti with the Ryzen 5 9600X will give you a huge performance boost. As for RAM, CL30 does perform marginally better, but if you're just gaming, CL36 is still pretty decent. Just check that your motherboard supports the newer technologies to avoid any hiccups during installation!

It sounds like a solid upgrade! Make sure your new parts are compatible, especially since you're jumping up to PCIe 5 with the 5060 Ti, which means you'll want to go with an AM5 or LGA 1700 CPU. About RAM, CL30 does have the edge over CL36 for speed, but whether it's worth the extra cost might depend on your budget and how much you game or multitask. You might want to consider looking for a good balance between price and performance.
