Hey everyone! I'm looking to give my PC a bit of an upgrade because I've been streaming for fun and playing some more demanding games like Battlefield 2042. Right now, even with the game settings turned down, my CPU usage is hitting 80-90%, which is pretty high. I was considering getting more RAM, but I'm also curious about how to ensure any new CPU I get will be compatible with my current setup. Below are the specs of my current build. If you need more info, just let me know!

Adding another 16GB of RAM could really boost your performance. Since you have a solid motherboard, I usually recommend looking into the AMD Ryzen 5700X as a solid upgrade. If you can find a Ryzen 5900X for around $250 or less, that could be a game changer for you! Just be sure to check if it fits with your existing parts.
Thanks for the tips! Do you happen to know if the 5900X would work with my current setup? I’ve been considering it. I know I need more RAM, but I'm not sure if it alone will do the trick.
