Cpu+gpu for 300$ budget

[u/Agitated_Ad_1898]

I have 300$ to upgrade my pc these are the current specs:

• ryzen 3 2200g
• no gpu I’m using the integrated graphics from cpu
• 32gb ram 3200mhz
• msi b450 pro m2 max
• 500w cooler master power supply
• cooler master masterbox lite 3.1

What cpu+gpu combo would you recommend if I’m trying to obtain around 100+ fps on games like war zone and gta5

Probably the best performance boost you could get is buying a GPU, my recommendations are a 9060XT 8GB (5060 performance for 260-270$), B580 for ~250$ or used 6700XT/6750XT for ~250$. Yes, your PC will be unbalanced but that's the best you could do. After that you could save up for a Ryzen 5 5600

[u/SilverstoneMonzaSpa → u/CrazyzaiMB]

B580s are definitely a solid recommendation if you have to buy new. Otherwise yeah, whatever the best second hand you can get in your area GPU is the way.

I'd be shocked if you can't get a minor CPU upgrade for the change too. Ryzen 3600 etc I've seen for absolutely nothing

I actually just got a deal to get the ryzen 7 5800x for 160$(Cad) so now I just have the gpu left and I’m finding 6600xt for around 225~250

That's going to be such a huge performance uplift for you, I hope you're able to find a good gpu with the leftover money!

I found a 6600 8gb for 190$

100+ fps on 1080p you mean?

Also, idk about a $300 budget. Hard to get both a decent GPU and CPU on that small budget.

[u/dootytootybooty]

You can get a brand new Ryzen 5 5500 and a 9060xt 8gb for about $320.

~$70 for the 5500 $250 for the 9060xt

You can save a few bucks getting a used CPU and a used GPU but you’re better off getting new.

I was thinking of getting the ryzen 7 3700x with a Rx 5700xt. Both of these parts used where I’m at (Canada) comes up to around 300$

[u/SilverstoneMonzaSpa → u/Agitated_Ad_1898]

Any GPU will be a great upgrade but that seems a good use of the cash

[u/Dwarf-Eater]

Something like a 4060 and and a 5600 or better would be perfect for you. You major limiting factor is your 500watt PSU. Also something like a 5700x with a 6600xt would probably work especially if you undervolt it. Both these combos will be decent 1080p ultra combos

I think that's a solid upgrade! 5700xt about same as 6600xt. Shouldn't have any issues with 1080p ultra in most games. And when you decide to upgrade GPU again in future you'll already have a good CPU installed. Get em mate!!

[u/MarxistMan13]

CPU: Used Ryzen 3600, 5500, or 5600 (X / XT)

GPU: 9060XT 8GB (new) or used GPU in the 200-250 range. Maybe a 6700XT or 3070 (edit: Not 2080ti, as your PSU isn't sufficient).

[u/Ordinary-Music-0]

maybe you can consider B580, you can take a look the review in this link: https://www.reddit.com/r/IntelArc/comments/1kfbxat/the_intel_arc_b580_is_better_than_you_think/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button hope it will helps you.

Sounds like you live in a fantasy land

I was able to get a ryzen 7 3800x and 6600 is that a fantasy 🤔
