Do I Need to Change Any Components for My GPU and CPU Upgrade?
Asked by

I'm planning to upgrade my GPU from an RTX 3060 to an RTX 5070ti and my CPU from an R7 3800X to an R7 5800X3D. I've got an ASRock B550 Steel Legend motherboard, 32GB of 3000 MHz DDR4 RAM, and a 750W power supply. Will I need to swap out any other components to make this upgrade work?

Finding a 5800X3D at a decent price can be pretty tricky. Many folks either opt for a 5600X, 5700X, or just jump to the AM5 platform instead. Your 750W PSU should be sufficient, as long as it's a reliable brand.

Cex has the 5800X3D for about £430, so you might want to check there if you're set on that upgrade.
